Ok.. so when it's warm it idles at about 900-1000 rpms... if i turn the air mixture screws it doesn't change the idle much at all....

yeah the path to idle nirvana is replace the o rings
rapacioulsy clean the carbs and synch them as per the manual.
you can over tighten the metal clamps on the air box side of things as well which can cause a leakComment

Did you change all the o-rings inside the carbs.? If not that could be part of your problem. Maybe the 0-rings on the inside of you mixture screws are shot, that maybe why no change in idle when turning them. Robert will have all those too. It is not unusal for a bike to not run right if you have the choke on or partially on after it warms up. No expert but hope this helps. terryleeComment

ok so... it won't idle at all when it's cold... I checked all the orings and they are all plyable and soft... it sat for 10 years ina garage... but surprisingly everything is in almost perfect condition..Comment

these bikes have a pretty foolproof airboxOriginally posted by mlinder View Post
as long as the entry point of the filter is sealed and the joint box to carb and carbs to head are good then things are golden.
its not like them queer boxes form 70s bikes that seem to need weatherstripping and a high degree of nantucket protestant angst to work.
I was always rooting for the whale reading mellville btw.
The whale seemd closer to jesus in some way.Comment

I still didn't see the question answered. The box can be as foolproof as you like. If it isn't attached, or a filter isn't in it...Originally posted by JEEPRUSTY View PostComment

HMM YES I WILL ADMIT AT LEAST OSTENSIBLY THAT THE AIRBOX MAY NOT BE ATTACHEDOriginally posted by mlinder View Post
but this bike will go pukka pukka pukka and produce no power even enought o rev without its air boxComment

ok, then....Comment

Ok.. airbox is attatched and there is a k&n lightly oiled in it... Still with choke on for cold start it won't run.... If it's cold it will kinda grab but i gotta use ether to get it to start... Then once it's runing if i give it too much gas it just bogs and dies...?Comment

Um I got no exp with that aftermarket filter but I do recall that eh stage 1 kit from dynojet had it as a filter.Originally posted by David_510 View Post
Mkaes me think it breathes freer than stock
Hell I tried blasting my old filter with water and it barely passed
I know its cellulose likely and swelled but the OEM filter is restrictive and for a reason spend 30 bucks and get one and in doing so remove a nasty variable from your equation.Comment

Well if it breathes freer could i not just simply increase the amount of gas and that would compensate? But when i do so (air mixture screws) if i put them in more it doesn't make a difference and i can pull them completely out and it only will die if i give it gas...Comment

for each stage of carburetion things are measured very carefully to try and reach the ideal ratio between air and fule that will result in the most efficient burn
if you throttle up you only add air and possibly not ever in the amount needed within the IDLE , Midrange, Main settings needed.
I would think you would be lean across all ranges of the stock jetting.Comment
