750 is up and running

[Scudder]

Got the 750 out on the road a couple times in the past few days. Adjustments are main jets 115, pilot jet 17.5, needle clip on 2nd slot from top, air screw 1 1/2 turns. Fuel screw 1 1/2 turns.

When I ride, it is not perfect. It is a bit jumpy and poppy, but it isn't too bad, and I think I'm a small adjustment away from the smoothness that I want. However, when I get back in it is emitting fumes. It's not smoking, but it looks like fumes may be coming out of the pods. Is this normal? Is the fuel mixture screw open too much? Or... is it a bigger problem. Thanks in advance for the advice.

1.5 turns on the fuel screws is quite rich although I'm not familar with jetting needs of a modified bike. I'd try to turn in those screws a little and see how the bike runs.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. Too rich is what I expected.

Stock setting on the fuel screws is 5/8 to 3/4 turn out. Modified might go between 3/4 and 1 full turn.
Rule of thumb (starting point): air screw is about twice the fuel screw.

Why don't you try reading your spark plugs?

[Scudder]

Not familiar with reading my plugs. Haven't taken the time yet to read how to do it on the site. That is a good suggeston however. Learning how to read my plugs with be next on the list. Thanks.

Thanks

One turn on the fuel screw and an increase to 120 main jets have smoothed things out. This bike is a great ride. Very fast and smooth.
Thanks again.
