there is no v-boost at all the pipes between the intake runners have been replaced with straight pipes that have no butterflies in them. the valves were good. put the bike togther last night. im really just getting tired of messing with it. im about to leave for the air force in a few months and...

its not unplugged, its disconnected at the end where the cable attaches in the area around the carburators.

"Is your vboost closed at idle? Are all four of your choke plungers closed? They operate finger looking things. The plunger is on the left side of each carb" the vboost isnt connected, wouldnt it be closed at idle? i dont reeally know how to check that. ill check the choke plugers tonight...

ok update: i took the carbs off and checked the floats they were fine, put the stock main jets(152.5) back in the bike, syncronized the carbs and the thing still is running rich as hell can tell if its a low end issue or a top end issue as i dont have a wideband o2 or a dyno to strap it to...

only got an 1/8th mile track here so my best is 7.12 at 100mph. mods are 4-1 kerker and stage 7, with some screwed up carbs, hopefully getting that sorted out this weekend tho... have a nitrous kit waiting to install but i figure ill get the carbs right before i go blowing the thing up...

moved the clip towards the blunt end, it is now setting at 1 from that end. i dont know what the float levels are at unfortunatly, are the 152.5s gonna lean it out i thought stock was 154. ill try and provide as much info as i can i dont know a whole lot about carbs and i just ordered some...

when i bought this bike i didnt know how it was supposta run so i started doing some maintnance, i changed out the fuel filter and it woke up, unfortunatly all that rust in the filter passed on to the carbs. i removed the tank and had it redone and replaced the enw fuel filter and rebuilt the...
