Been Around the Block
So I have some running issues. It starts, but won't stay running. I do have issues getting it started, too, but not as severe. After 5-8 kicks, it will begin to fire and eventually start up. Then I have to rev it a bit to keep it going which produces some white smoke. It idles at about 1800-2000 roughly for a minute or two. If I remove the choke it revs to 3500-4000 and dies. If I give it throttle, it will die.
I have checked the plugs and they were black which makes me think it is just really rich, but my idle screw is only a full turn out. I'm running straight pipes and pod filters, so it wouldn't be in too much danger of running lean. Also, once it dies, it can take ten or more kicks to fire up again, if at all. I figured it was just because it is so rich that it needs time to drain.
Do I need to just reclean the carbs, set the floats, and what not or is it just a carb tuning issue? Do I need to let it warm up longer? I can't say for sure if the carbs are synced, is that it?
