I think everyone here has been overly generous with this guy. While my problem with my Gen 1 isnt solved yet, I havent resorted to the crying and complaining this guy has. At least with my concern, I posted pics of the suspect carb on my bike. This guy hasnt posted 1 picture of the carbs. He may think he knows what he is doing, but everyone here is helping him blind. No one here knows the condition those carbs are in. He says this or that and says they are squeaky clean....but they could be trashed for all we know.
You want help...you have to want to be helped. Post pictures. Clear well lit pics of everything no matter how mundane you think it is. There is something that isnt known to you that may be known to others here. Quit crying, man up and solve this. If you spent all this money on the bike so far, why not go the last $500 for it? You can either sell like others have stated....or....gasp.....you have a bike you can finally appreciate.
And so what that you had the carbs out 50 times. Back when I lived in NY, my buddy built a 750 Seca. Close to 900 when we were done with it. Cammed, dome top pistons, balanced and everything. We fought those carbs for over a year. 50 times removing carbs....LOL....we would have those carbs off that many times in 1 weekend. We spent close to 1000 for jets and jet drills to get 1/2 sizes of the jets. We never got the carbs perfect, but we got them close enough to where they worked for what the bike was. We ended up joking that the YICS on the engine meant, Yes, Its Carbs Suck. Patience is what is needed. If you dont have that, break out the wallet. If you dont want to do that....you need not complain. And you surely dont need any help anymore.
