I reject your reality, and substitute my own!
I was actually going to say the same thing- cv carbs need filters to have enough vacuum to lift the slides. I have made that mistake many times....

However, I did notice that with the filters installed, I was able to pull the throttle much farther with less popping. You can hear the rush of air through the filters as well. So, would this leave to problem to fuel? The jets are all clean though...
KZsAll - yup, cams are in their proper places and the muffler wasn't even installed (I made my own custom one). I then put it on just for fun but no change. These particular needles don't have notches for adjustment, just the one circlip.
Just for the sake of argument, and for lack of anything else to do, I decided to pull the plug wires as it was idling. Just one at a time, but pulling 1 or 4 hardly had any effect at all. Pulling 2 or 3 nearly killed the engine and gave all the symptoms of a misfire. Food for thought? The pickups are in good working order, as far as resistance readings go.

KZsAll said:Looking good. I really hope your notch works out for you just like you planned it. That fairing is really going to look sharp on there.
