Been Around the Block
yes I had the manual when I rebuilt the carbs. set everything back to baseline except for needle height, I think there are 5 grooves and I placed it on the 3ring, so middle.
I took the carb bowls off becuase #3 was dry. Reset the float heights to 22m as they were high, installed a brand brand new bowl on #4 and reinstalled. It ran awesome. idle sorta sucked but ran strong. I did think it was running rich becuase I didnt like the color of the pipes, but all 4 were the same.
next day, once I got its tsarted it ran really badly.. backfire, carb weezing, lotsa wierd stuff. pulled the plugs and all are black, 4 is wetter than the others.
might try and take the carbs off again tonight. Will check that 4 bowl see if the main jet is ok or seated right. While I have them out, what else shoudl I do, maybe to address the rich? raise bowls or lower the needle?
bike is all stock
