I see that but it seals at the two little ribs. Regardless you have an issue and that needs replaced. I think you found the culprit.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

The mounting screws were nice and tight, after I undid them the intake boot literally fell off the reed block. I had to catch it before it hit the ground. The reeds were also just sitting there and they moved if you touched them. Not well sealed at all.
Thats does seem odd as they are usually kinda stuck on and some are almost a fight to get broke loose. Is this a 1996 bike?
Oh, you ever try the Lectron on your 360?

This bike is a 2013 WR 165. with only 7.2 hrs on it. My 1996 WR125 is actually running the same manifold as this and it is good.
I just put this one on a greased flat sheet of glass and what do you know it only is sealing 3/4 the way around. Most likely the culprit, in conjunction with running lean on the MR to start with. Time for a new one & half a turn richer.

I spoke to my dealer today about it & he will give me another boot if it doesn't go through under PFG warranty. Thanks Matt. Awesome!!
I hope that this is a one of and doesn't affect more people. Check yours when you get a chance guys.
No I've never put it on the 360. Not enough time at home since I got the carb.
Would the 360 not be better suited to a 38mm Lectron? Would you have a rod to suit a 360? and our fuel?
I would also have to drill it out for the auto Decomp connector.
Not trying to sell you a carb just asking for reference if others with 360 ask. Bet it would be a nice carb for that bike. Gobs of rods to choose from. Lectron could put a fitting on the carb for you, for the decomp, EZ.

I hope your problem is solved and you have no more issues. In post #12 you stated that you had sprayed the area and detected no running difference..... I absolutely would NOT just slap it together and go. I would start at a richer setting as Kelly originally suggested, and work backwards.
I find it a usefull tool to just hold a bike at 1/16 to 1/8th throttle with it in neutral and see how the motor reacts. Does it hold a steady low-ish RPM and stay there? Safe, maybe rich but safe. Does it get hollow and the RPM "runs away" and rev up and vary at a high RPM? Dangerously lean on the low-throttle opening tuning.
Best wishes, Mate!!

Would a 36 mm be to small for the 360?

Good words of advice there Marc Thanks!!
