Hi guys,
Been gone for awhile, wife is nine months pregnant and had me working like a dog on the house before the baby comes.
Here what's up, rebuilt my carbs end of June, ran good. Let the bike sit for 2-3 weeks, took it for a little ride and it wouldn't run right unless the choke was on (similar to when I first bought the bike and Mark helped me with rebuild tips) but at least it ran this time.
Now I can't even accelerate unless the chokes on and it dies when you try to put it in gear.
I wonder if the carbs got dirty again. (Failed to change the fuel filter)
Here are a few things I noticed when rebuilding.
1 coasting enrichment valve had small crack, could this be causing the problem.
Also when I checked the mixture screws they were all very different, like from 2 to 7 turns out. Brass plugs were still in so I assume that is the factory settings. I didn't mess with them, but how do I properly set them.
