I think Precious is jealous,, the bike that is

[Big Lou]

I went to meet a girl the other day ,she wants to ride .. blind date,, i have taken Precious down to nuts and bolts , took 3 months to get everything straight ,, runs great ,,smooth,,

 

finally get a date and leaving the driveway no,1 carb started popping again,, put in expensive gas ,, didnt change ,, above 3000 rpm it works good ,, put in chevron cleaner no change,,

get to the date ,,she dont have a helmet,, cant ride, the date was to ride, she is wearing shorts at that

 

we sit and talk ..

 

almost dark I get on precious and ride like i stole it.. wide open,, now top rpm is about 5000/5500 tops .. and as the carb is kicking in and out ,the rpms jump back and forth . without changing speed

 

think the clutch may be slipping at that rpm..it will change speed some just dont throw me in the seat when it does kick in and out ..

 

really think the bike is jealous...or maybe telling me she is to big for it nnnaaaa that cant be it!! she aint big just fluffy

 

ya ya that is it

 

fixing to go find out if it is back to normal ...CRAZY MAN JUST CRAZY

If your RPM can change by 500 with no speed change then you have a slipping clutch.

If you fix it right away you can usually get by with just a spring and a gasket and a half hour of your time. If you wait till it gets worse, you may need a whole new clutch.

 

Carbs are blue smoke and mirrors, I cant help you there.
