Okay... I installed the other set of CL350 exhaust I bought and chopped the muffler off of. Installed the cone filters as well. Starts and idles well... maybe better then it did before. It does backfire and pop quite a bit after revving it up... I think this indicates that it is running lean. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I rode it around the block and it runs pretty well but there is a kind of dead spot when I first rev it up while accelerating... it kinda bogs... a lot like if you tried to go (in stock form) without having the choke all the way open.
I talked to Chris Faccione and asked him about re-jetting the stock carbs since he has run the open scrambler headers on both his CL350 and his CB360. He said that he discussed it with Greg from Ohio Cafe Racers (Greg, chime in if you're here) and the conclusion is that these little carbs (stock) are pretty insensitive to tuning and the only thing that might be necessary is to shim the needles a bit.
So, that being said... anyone want to give me a tutorial on how to do this? Do you think that will increase the fuel flow enough to compensate for the open headers and cones? I'm open to comments and thoughts.
It sounds like a freakin' moto GP bike now!!
Thanks for the advice in advance.
