Hey eveyone this is actually my first post. I have recently cleaned the carbs(with the help of Sean) and decided to install the carbs this evening. Well I got hooked up with a quite unique problem....
For starters, the choke did not seem to work at all. When I would try to start the bike, I had to mostly play with the throttle to keep the thing running once I got it started. The bike only ran for 30 seconds and during that time I noticed that the diaphragm slide on carb #1 was not moving at all while all the other slides were. She died when I stopped playing with the throttle. After she died I noticed smoke coming from the back of the engine where the exhaust hooks up and it smelled like burning oil. I tested how warm the engine was and cylinder number one( I think or which ever cylinder is under carb #1) seemed the warmest and the front cylinders were not warm at all even at the headers. I am really stumped and was wondering what you guys think.
Cheers
