'bout ready to part this thing out!

is your advancer unit free and snappy? this will have you falling on it's face when it needs to be 30 or so degrees before T.D.C. unlike at idle when 8~15 degrees is just fine.


just another thought..that is not fuel related.

1.fuel
2. compression
3. timed ignition
any problem is in these areas

If it makes you feel any better, I have that exact exhaust with the stock airbox and my bike won't rev over 6k.

What I need is another bike so the Kat can come off the road for some major work.

The bike came with pods (cheap ones) and the aftermarket pipe. But, it never ran. As you can see from the pic, which was basically all the parts thrown together to show what I started with, it wasn't in such good shape when I got it. The coils, and in fact the whole charging and firing system is new-including a Dyna 2000 w/coils and new plug wires.

Given the symptom of accelerating up to ~3K rpm, and crapping out, but able to keep on going when I pull the choke, my guess is its a carb issue. It also sounds starved when it craps out at above rpm. I was unaware of the dynojet option. I was in carb hell trying to figure out how to raise the slides.
Ah hell, whats another hundred plus for the new carb kit?! But, hopefully, it'll run. Otherwise, get the grave ready, I've the carbs and the screwdriver ready.
Thanks for the input, everybody.

PS- Hey CafeKid, you still happen to have that pillion handle by any chance?
