hi all....hopefully someone can give me an idea on how to fix this problem:
So I cleaned my carbs (on my 77' cb550k) and decided since I had the jets and pods I would put them into play as well! SO here is what happened.... I cleaned the carbs and when putting it everything back together I replaced the old jets from 90 to 105's. Then I put it all back together and placed the pods on. The bike fired right up and idled fine for a bit then started to idle high (this wasn't my real concern) ....then I noticed that the headers/pipes looked a bright burning red. ...I have never seen the headers/pipes this bright red even after a good 2 or 3 hour ride.
is there something I may have not done correctly or is there something I also need to adjust in order to have it run properly with the new jets & pods?
hopefully someone can help me in this....I want to ride.... I need to ride....its to nice to see the bike sit there!
