I actually had someone tell me the same exact thing at a swap meet. What are the symptoms for a burnt valve? I've had a mixed bag of opinions thrown my way on the valves. Some say don't mess with them, and some say they need to be adjusted. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Also, I haven't done a proper plug chop, so you may have nailed it Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I found information on the gap, and I'll give it a look. I've checked the timing and it looks perfect. The only reason i would doubt that theory is plug 1 is black and plug 4 is clean. Could it be a valve issue? Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

So..... I got home a little early and synced the carbs. It took a minute, but I finally got it to idle alright. Took it for a test run and it ran HORRIBLE. I pulled over and tried adjusting the air mixture screws.... finally said "screw this", and rode it home to work on it. When I got home carb...

I'm in nova as well. You guys still working on those bikes? It's all warm and shit now...... I'm ready to ride Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

How was the compression before you pulled it apart? Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Thought I would write an update. After pulling the carbs and syncing them again there was still no improvement. I couldn't figure it out on my own. So, I started reading up on carb theory and came to a conclusion. I did a rejet when I lived in Birmingham. I went from 68/100 to 68/105, and it ran...

Are the slide needles supposed to be loose, with back and forth play. Like, you can wiggle them. Or are they supposed to be tightened down with no play? I'm having carb issues on a 1980 cb750f, with 83 carbs. I'm thinking alittle grit came out of my gas tank and the pucks aren't sliding well...

Carb 1 was pissing gas today, so I pulled the bowl and a tiny grain of sand was causing it. I guess I'll pull the carbs again, but I'm really tired of dealing with it. Some days you just want to ride. Still acts like it's running lean. Popping and running like crap. Idles super high then drops...

At first I was running too lean. So I pulled the carbs and everything looked great. The bike had been running fine before, so I'm thinking it's because I went to the 4 in 1 exhaust. I bumped the jetting up from 68/100 to 68/105. Not a huge jump. Bench synced, put the carbs on, vacuum synced, and...

Tried tapping the bolt out with no luck. So, I went and bought a drill. The local motorcycle shops just laughed and told me I would have to pull the motor. F@&$ that! I'm going to drill a hole and easy out that bitch, and I don't care what they say. The moto community out here sucks Sent from...

Count me in Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Sounds like solid advice to me. Luckily I'm out of town this week. The bolt should be in by the time I return home. I honestly didn't think I would ever find one. It took me all day. Also, it's going to be tough getting the broke bolt out [emoji1304] Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON
