need some help with tuning. I'm a newb with this bike. this is a cb500 four bone stock, hasnt run in many many years. Just rebuilt the carbs to original settings. Runs ok, a little sluggish on first 1/4 throttle maybe. Starts ok on starter with choke and once warm, fires up easily, first kick.
Have not adjusted tappets, points or condensors, or replaced plugs.
Observations:
PIPES:
1 & 3 pipes are skin burning hot to the touch (dont ask how I know)
2 & 4 are barely warm
(after warmed up and run for a short bit)
Exhuast 4 sputters moisture, I think its gas, through the drain hole.
Plugs:
1 & 3 look dark and lighten up at the tip, normal or lean?
2 & 4 look dark/black Rich?
If its a rich/leanhow do you adjust for this?
What else should I look for?
Any suggestions?
