midrange popping/backfire

[bwringer]

Sounds like a cool ride -- we look forward to a full report with lots of photos...

Also, how are your exhaust gaskets? These can cause popping if they're old.

Go up a size on your pilot jet

How old are your carb boots?

Pods are okay, just a PITA to get dialed in, as you've discovered

Start working out with your left hand, that Barnett is stiff (ask me how I know)

Also, you'll probably never find neutral with the motor running, ever

Are you coming to Shasta??

i think you are right on about the pilot jets i will pick them up tomorrow as my clutch springs came but not my disks. i think new pilots will do the trick. the carb boots are in great shape with no leaks i used starter fluid squirts to check. good news no leaks bad news starter fluid on the motor if you act quick its also a degreeser
the barnett's that bad huh?
the exhaust gaskets are new . it was a bit tricky getting the 30yo ones out. but i was more stubborn
as for shasta i will be on my honeymoon in cabo. but i wish you guys safe rideing.and great weather

Yeah, the Barnett is pretty much a race clutch

Some put 1/2 Barnett fiber plates, 1/2 Suzuki plus 3 Barnett springs, 3 Suzuki as a upgrade

I've heard of splitting the springs but doesn't the Barnett use the extra fiber and steel?

whoooooo!hooooo! . you rock! one size larger on the pilots (117's) was the trick she runs like a top
im going to wait to put the barnett clutch in untill i burn up the stock one i did however put the heavy duty springs in and it feels pretty good

thanks again
