Default carb? question... I think

After reving my motor the rpms seem to decelerate slower than they should. does this sound like a carb problem? I have been thinking about rejetting but I am kinda hesitant because i have never done it before and aside from the problem i stated above it runs great and has been very reliable. just wondering if any of you had a similar prob or a fix. let me know
james.

It's generally a symptom of running too rich I beleive, which rejeting may not help. An older air filter would cause your mixture to richen out.

RPM's slowly coming down is from running lean.Running a aftermarket exhaust/filter or no air box could be the cause.

Hmm, you 100% positive about that? I always thought hanging was a rich symptom.
