It LIVES!!!
Alright it's been a little while since I posted about this. Sooo.... After a serious cleaning with dip and blown out with carb cleaner and air through EVERY passage, new o-rings, intake o-rings, and of course the new fuel pilot screw the carbs are on the engine and running. I rode it yesterday for the first time since I got it and wow this thing pulls hard! 10 thousand times better than it did when I got it (wouldn't rev over 3000). I'm very happy. I have a little hesitation and popping under 3000 rpms and have noticed a small ammount of fuel coming from one of the vents. I am to assume I didnt get the float levels perfect by the fuel in the vent. And the hesitation is maybe from not having the carbs in sync yet? All adjustment screws are 1.5 turns out just to get it running. I don't have a sync gauge set but will try to borrow one soon. Any advice or opinions on tuning it are definitely welcome, especially with the lower rpm hesitation. Thanks! Oh, and by the way I do not have an air filter on the engine right now (its been ordered) but I do have the box in place with the lid shut tight if that might be affecting my my off idle acceleration. I didnt think it would but I'm not sure.
