slow day here in I-O-WA decided to tune up the CL had one side running a little lean, of course with the CL if you want to do anything you have to pull the pipes, (juggling the header clamps comes later) pulled the carbs to give them a good cleaning, out of carb spray about half way thru, 13 miles to nearest auto supply, did I mention it's raining? going to blow them out with air any hoot so used PB Blaster just to see if the jets, channels flowed ok, nyet problema blow them out shine, shine, polish, polish, Hey I'm a rider not a clean freak, this is the only chance they get, had the tank off so set the cam chain/valves, put it all back together (note to self replace/rebuild air filters this winter) fired it up, dammnnnnn it sounds good, set airmix screws no problemo, check timimg, spot on both sides, oops losing idle what going on here? check air mix screws, ok check fuel level/on, ok it's just not wanting to idle, damn thing, what did I do to screw it up now ........ Oh the choke is on
idle at 1100 now, ... you've got to love it when a plan comes together
