Bike: 1992 PCW 1327cc chain drive with about 1000 miles on the motor
So I just got my bike back from my mechanic. He took the carbs off and cleaned them, replaced the plugs and tuned and synced the carbs.
The bike ran well at his shop when I picked it up, I brought it home, put all the other pieces (Scoops, seats, etc...) back on and went to take it for a test ride. The bike was very hard to start and will not start with the choke on. When it does start it jumps up to about 3000 rpm then drops and stalls. To keep it running long enough to warm up I have to hold the throttle at about 2000 then out of no where the bike will jump to 4000 or higher with no touch of the throttle. Once the bike gets a little temp in her she will idle ok for about 15-20 seconds then the idle will jump up to about 4-5k without touching anything on the bike. It smells like it is running really rich, lots of popping and backfiring and a little smoke.
I am really bad with carbs and know almost nothing about them, I am not even sure if they are the problem...
Any help on what could be going wrong would be awesome.
btw, the guy who did the carbs has done mine before and has always done a great job.
thanks,
Jake
