re-check valves?

[jsandidge]

When I first got the bike running, I could start it with just a touch of the starter button. The carbs are properly cleaned, and I adjusted the valves. There's no crap in the fuel system, since I cleaned and lined the tank.Now, after about 150 miles, I need to give it just a touch of throttle, but it starts immediately. Should I re-check the valves? The bike had been sitting for about 14 years before I got it running.

As long as you properly adjusted the valves, they won't go out in 150 miles.

Did you check your airbox to make sure the side cover and filter cage foam is in good shape? Adjust the pilot screws to achieve the highest idle? Vacuum sync the carbs? Check the coils for full battery voltage?

BTW, using a touch of throttle is no big deal if the bike runs nicely otherwise.

Yes, I did all of those things as well. The bike does run nicely, so I'll just ride for now. Thanks.
