I did not check any resistance on the 3 ohm coils. They said, "If you have the green coils they are 3 ohm and are not the correct impedance for the stock ignition. You need the gray 2.2 ohm coils for maximum energy to your plugs. Even if you have the 2.2 ohm coils the stock ignition is old and...

So I talked with the folks at dynoman where I bought my carbs. They asked if I've done anything to my ignition. I told them I had 3 ohm dyna coils on it. They told me I needed the 2.2 ohm coils. I bought them, installed em. Now she goes like a bat outta hell. Just thought I'd share

So after a lot of screwing around with a new 14mm m/c, scratching my head, doing research. I couldn't figure out why the lever still went all the way to the bar. Just got another Nissin master but this time 5/8" (15.88mm) it's hard as a rock now. Should be noted that if you have too small of a...

I cheaped out on a Kenda rear tire. It was so out of round it would vibrate your fillings out. Returned it for another one, and it was just as out of round. Moral of the story is don't go cheap on tires.

Thanks JP. You have restored my faith in physics. Been fighting these brakes for days. Now I can take the shotgun out of my mouth. ;D

Checked timing. It was a touch off, now it's perfect. Still same issue. Cklamer hard to believe I can't bump my main jets way up. They go all the way to 225 on jetsrus. I've done nothing special to the engine and the 29s are recommended for my bike with either velocity stacks or pods. I'm still...

Welcome. I'm from WI as well. Looks like you've got a bunch of projects goin. :)

Thanks for the advice cx. I'll check that when I check my timing. Yeah sounds like a pretty good deal tuna. Where you wanna meet up. I'll bring the lube.

Could very well be timing. I put a set of dynatek coils on it, but never touched the ignition plate.

Not positive about the timing. It's getting plenty of fuel. I talked to a carb guy from cycle-x here in Wisconsin. He said it could very well be an air leak. He said spray carb cleaner around the boots while the engine is running, and see if there's an Rpm change. We'll see.

Couple more

Thanks. Pretty good story behind that badge. I've got some pics of the build if I can figure out how to get em on here.

A few friends and myself grew up around Rock Springs, wi. We eventually started referring to our gang as the Rock Springs Squad. ;D

What I've got goin is... 81 cb750c Keihin cr29s K&N pods Cycle-x 4-2-1 race system pipes.(very open) Bike runs great till about three quarter throttle, then starts bogging, then at full it will just about kill itself. Before I start doin plug drops and ordering jets and needles I'll ask this...
