Hey guys... I sent my carbs out a few weeks ago to Danny for a rebuild with Sean’s jet kit. Quick turnaround and they look great!
The issue I’m having is that I can’t get the bike to run right with the carbs back on. It bogs down when I blip the throttle, makes a huge sucking sound from the front of the bike and almost dies. It will die if I hit the throttle too hard when it’s idling. Riding, it’s hesitating a little in lower rpm’s, is a little jerky with steady throttle, and the vboost isn’t kicking in. It almost sounds like a vacuum leak but I can’t find one - all the airbox boots are new, all the clamps are tight, and the carbs seem like they’re completely seated. The restrictors are all in place. I’m at a loss right now. Any advice as to what might be causing this? I’ve got an appointment with Damon Ferraiuolo after the first of the year to sort it out but I really want to get some riding in before it snows!
Again - Danny’s rebuild and Sean’s kit are top notch - I’m sure there’s something else that I’m missing!
I really wish I could post a vid of it running....
