So, i split one of the carb boots open using a regular hose clamp, since I misplaced one of them. Ironic, how I damaged a boot while waiting for a new, fresh set to come in, huh?
SO i replaced it with an old boot I had, which had all the rubber on it, and was somewhat pliable.
I still have an airleak somewhere, I guess, it hangs after it warms up, and if I'm sitting at a light, sometimes it'll rev up to 2000 by itself for a 10-15 seconds, and back down to regular idle. By the time I got her home, she would hang pretty bad coming down to idle, and when it did get down, idle would drop slowly and bog. When you start her up, she's fine, revs wonderful, no hanging!
Here's the catch, all my plugs are black with soot, possibly fouled? They still provide clear blue spark when I ground the plug.
Carbs are cleaned, valves adjusted (some on the loose side), carbs cleaned in dip and ultrasonic, starts easy (needs no choke), all pipes are hot within 2 minutes. It's a GL, so the airbox isn't really "sealable", but all connections/clamps are snug and tight. New petcock hasn't arrived yet, so old petcock is on prime and port on #2 is plugged. carbs are synced as well, with a set of calibrated vacuum gauges. (had to return the carbtune to a buddy...
)
I attempted to pull plugs one at a time and maybe isolate the hanging. If I pull #2, it won't hang anymore, and just come down to a low idle before I shut it off. When #2 is plugged into the coils, and any other plug is out, it'll hang... Leak found?
Should I just order a whole new set of boots? any other things to check?
