Re: "Patina" The 1973 CB175 Cafe Racer
Alright after a mental break from this thing I'm back at it.
I put in the new floats. No leak!!!
My kickstand is at my welder getting a 5/8" slug added to it to lengthen it a bit. My lean angle was way too much. Not quite sure why but this will help.
Also, took it for a rip around with new plugs and got the following results:
Bike was responsive below half throttle. Anything above half throttle was really lethargic and choppy. Running at half choke helped slightly.
Here's my plug readings (I tried to keep it at full throttle as much as possible).
Right side:
Left side:
Looks to me like I'm running lean. The left much more so than the right.
So with that logic I guess I'll run it up a few sizes on the main jet?
