It started out trying to get my carbs jetted properly. I ordered a Dynojet kit, K&N pods and a Marving exhaust to replace the V&H 4to1 (so I would have a few more inches of ground clearance).
The PO had installed the V&H and jetted it by putting a 160 pilot air jet, 47.5 pilot jet, 125 mains. It would pop on decel indicating a lean condition.
I installed the Dynajet kit per instructions. Drilled the slides, 138 main, needle 3rd notch down, floats 22.4mm, 2 1/2 turns out on mixture screw, 160 pilot air jets cause I did not have the 170s. A bench sync was done also. I tried to get it to run with no luck. Checked the spark and it was week so I did a coil relay mod. Still could not get it to run properly.
Got a hold of Rustybronco to ask some questions and he offered to come over and give me a hand. After many hours trying to get it running he said I need to get the stock air pilot jets(170) and it was still blowing the spark out. So I investigated and bad signal generator and the ignitor was not testing good per manual.
Now we are into riding season so I was not going to mess around and try and figure out a 30 electrical system. I just order the 170 pilot air jets and a Dyna 2000 kit. When I received them I installed figuring that my problems were solved but they are far from it.
The pilot system is to rich. At 2 turns on the mixture screws at idle it will fowl the plugs in about 30 sec. After some phone calls with Rapidray and Rustybronco today here is where I am at. With 1 turn out, no pod filters and wet float height at 7.5mm it will idle and rev but has a flat spot at 2-5000rpm. It still seems on the rich side still.
The bike only has 6k original miles on it and all the parts that I listed were purchased new. The only thing that I am wondering about is that it looks like the valve cover was removed and wonder if the PO degreed the cams. If so could this add to my issues?
