    Runnin close to mint..

    Finally got the tires on and carbs straight, man what a diff.having them synced-returns right down to base idle nicely I do have a tiny tad hesitation at a stop, not sure if I should try richening or leaning/ or thru bottom fuel pilot or side air pilot screw? Still need to ck.set timing with my new T-light from harborfreight but she's close....

    Turn each in ( richer ) 1/8 and see what it does then. If not better, then return them back out the 1/8..to where they are now..and then each out ( leaner ) 1/8 to compare .

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        I would check the synch and idle adjustments again once the timing is fixed.

          Tom is spot on...change anything and you recheck everything...thats the way these systems intertwine for optimal performance.

            I haven't vacuum synced the carbs, probably done now for this year. I've got my fuel pilot's at 3/4 and readjusted my air pilot's to 1 1/4.

              You running electronic ignition or points and concensor? If points, then I would consider just getting new ones and be done with all new stuff right from jump street...youll be glad with the piece of mind that all has been addressed properly.

                If you are putting it away for the winter, why not put it away ready to ride?

                    True enough, but he might be one of the unfortunate few that lives in an area where it might make sense.

                        LOL, I'd say I did, I've been reconditioning this full time for the past 4-5 weeks. I'll be keeping it for another week before it goes to its winter resting spot...right where my next project is parked, an early 69' cb750 wid a rusty tank...

                        Just renewed points and condensers 2-3 wks ago, didn't want to spring for an electronic just yet.
