I have a stock fj1200, it has low miles The carbs were off and in pieces when brought the bike.  I rebuilt the carbs and went to a 12.5 main.  it has a Vance and hines.  I read here that you can remove the fuel pump and it will run fine for regular use, ( not high revs or racing it).  I have tried everything to get the idle mixture right. i have read Mark salvisberg Factory pro guid.  it runs great from 3000 rpm on up but it bogs off the line and it stumbles on the Bilp test.   NOW, will putting the fuel pump back on effect this low end fuel delivery and or float bowl level, ect  Thanks for any input!
