That is a "package deal" and the carb mods should NOT be done with stock pipes and air filter.
There is a simple way to check the fuel level in the bowl (and by implication, the float level) without taking the carb. apart........but by now, you probably won't find that useful.

:??: OK, I guess I missed something in my reading. My understanding was that the shim was a recomended mod like the sprocket and I figured it was only a couple bucks for an extra washer so why not. I did not catch that it came
after the pipes and filter. I have not meddled with those, they are still stock, so I'll put the brakes on that mod.

Looks like I'm trying to jump the gun all over the place. I pulled the tank and the checked the screens last night and they looked clean and clear, so I assumed the next step would be to clean the carb. All I have done is buy the new o-ring and carb cleaner, so if there is a way to avoid breaking the carb down for now, I'm all ears. But, being that the hesitation is only happening at 45-60mph would checking the bowl while not moving be effective? There is no hesitation at low speeds.
