Hello Forum Friends,
Been awhile since posting as I have been tacking on some miles due to the warm October days. My ride starts up with ease and now idles more correctly thanks to the carb sync and cleaning of the jets. However, I had that weird rev climb when pulling in the clutch while stopping nonsense. This ceased all on its own today but I will double check how carbs are seated in their boots; Spraying WD-40 revealed no air leaks nor any 'hunting for idle' or hanging idle headaches. Gonna let that be
Now, attached are pics of brand new plugs after 45 miles; Varying speeds, cracking throttle and reaching speeds of 75+ for a few seconds To me, they look lean despite no fuel delivery or timing issues. Idled today for awhile in driveway to check on things and they turned black & sooty. hmm...but to be expected with idling too much.
Thoughts? I think it's a rich at idle, lean at speed thing. Mains are 135s which it ran very nicely on for 2 straight seasons. I have 140s and 145s on-hand.
Floats are spot on at 20 mm, timing is confirmed.
I still think carb sync needs some more tweaking as I noted on way home I nearly closed the throttle and it still cruised. that cannot be 100% right....ha ha ha
