im going to bring it back to life and just hold it on the bike until i can find a suitable replacement. It is a beautiful tank, i only need to widen the bottm out by an inch, i know a guy that can stretch it without cutting it
It will start, the carbs are running a little lean, so ill have to rejet them, but I'm working on getting the controls perfect so it makes tuning that much easier. After I get it running the way I want, I will start to work on the aesthetics.
So i drove the bike around for a couple of blocks. Got a problem now. Only runs with choke on and with it off it runs a little 'off'. Any ideas? I'm thinking it is lean.
My bikes and workshop
painted the tank and seat black, quick and dirty. I'll go over everything once it is running right
my throttle for right now, ordered a couple of these:
ANY IDEAS ON THE CRABS? it is the last step before i go overthin with a fine tooth comb
Ok so after much trial and error, i have found that the right cylinder is not firing as much as the left one. The left pipe is way hotter than the right and this may be the problem ive been looking to solve. I have reseated the intake mounts and gaskets to assure that there are NO airleaks. I have put in 105's now and needle is at 3rd position with mix screws at 2 turns out from closed. if anyone has this bike with similar carbs, what is your setup? I would like a baseline to start from, thanks. i hate carb tuning
I have to concentrate on school so I've sold the project. I got it as far as running and driving but low on power, I unfortunately dont have the time for a project of this size and would rather use a car right now, but i will also be on the look out for another project, hopefully get one thats already running.
