Attention to detail got me

[Big Lou]

kicking and bucking on a trip ,never touched a screw one on carbs while it was down ,

 

put in berrymans like i was told ,started it shaking gas whole , 1/2 tank to whole can when i was done , last night after soaking and letting sit 4 hours each time ,

she is running great

CANT LEAvE NOTHING ALONE

it was idleing just a little off third time ,,still spitting

 

this morn ,I pull the air cleaner after seeing all the talk of diaphrams,,,,,,, all diaphrams work the same at all rpms

crank it up , noting over 2500 unless i feather it . choked all carbs to suck 'TRASH'...

last night i hit lightly the ends of carbs with a small rubber hammer ,only one made it die

i dont think there ever was trash and it had a vacuum leak the whole time

this morn, i find 3 vacuum leaks and the tube for crank case vent wasnt on the filter bottom

 

fixed all that

now i think i am at 75 or 80 %

 

wiil absolutely wont idle

 

should i turn up idle ?????? ,,,,,, i think it is running fairly OK wished i had another to listen to DONT WANT IT TO RUN AWAY AND HAVE TO STOP IN TRAFFIC

[pmelah]

glad its running better for you i plan to go thru everything with a fine tooth coe when i can replacing all rubber hoses seals the works

[Big Lou]

I thought i did,,,,,,,

 

Just wont idle, think too much cleaner when it was vacuum

 

Let me know when you get home ..............jedi595@gmail.com

 

Think i really shortened the lifespan of the starter,,,may have to get a good one from here

 

Sure aint going back into town again,,real waste of time and gas for me

If you had air leaks and fixed them, it is realistic that you will need to turn up the idle.

Anytime you do any playing with the carbs, it is a good idea to put a carb sync on it. Many of us here have bit the bullet and purchased a Carbtune. I use mine ALL the time, and there are many here in the Houston area that are happy I have one they can use. One of the best tools I have spent money on. I would second also that you turn the idle up slightly.

i am fixing to do just that , it started raining yesterday when i got the opprotunity to ride

 

if i can get it to idle , today I am going riding in Talladega national forrest ,,,

 

I live on the edge of it

sure is a peacful place:cool10::cool10::cool10:

One other thing is that if you still have a heavy mixture of cleaner in your gas, it can make it run a little worse. Maybe dilute it, or drain it, and try straight gas for now. That way you are tuning it to a regular gas mixture. You can reuse the mixed gas later on.

[Big Lou]

Yes it still has the mixed it it,,,,,,now three days,,was going to ride it same day

 

Didnt, occur to me. Till now, ,,,i may of diluted the gas it too much
