Did you see Mike Nixon's recent post about accelerator pumps on 1100's?

I noticed the center of the pump cover had a small jet in the center with notch for a small screw driver, so I thought I'd take it out to clean. It WAS loose by a couple turns. could this be the cause of my bogging ??? I might have found the problem, what do you think ?
Hmm, curious! I've done a set of '81 carbs and '82's. Neither had any type of screw in the cover of the accelerator pump. Must be an '83 only thing?
