That's me ranting about this bike, I got to turn the bike on today, and had to do a half turn out ti get it running better, wasnt gonna sit here and try to tune it being 7:30am.
The initial start before messing with the pilot screws it sounded okay at first, got worse as it got warmer, and the throttle response was not good you could tell it wasnt running on all the cylinders. The warmer it got the more I'd have to turn the idle up.
Turned pilot screws out half a turn and it got better, could idle stabile and no shorting was happening so that issue should be gone, I did a spray test and cylinders 1 through 3 steamed up just fine, cylinder 4 barely steamed. Went ahead and rode it just to see how it'd act during a ride and low speed rpm was not good, its barely want to go, and when I get to a certain rpm I'd say above 3000 it will stay up there during a shift, maybe try to climb a bit more, sometimes it would jerk me after i pull the clutch out from an upshift, as a matter of fact it would jerk around a noticable amount during those low speed rpms. The good thing is when I'd stop o wouldn't have to hold on the throttle to make sure it would stay alive, it was able to idle by itself during the ride. Sometimes it would go up about 200ish rom from idle and I'm thinking maybe that's the fourth cylinder going, but it would eventually start to climb up constantly. I also had it keep going by itself after I let off the throttle.
My thoughts, the idle screws need to be messed with to get a better tune low speed, the throttle cable might be getting friction somewhere causing it to stick a bit, and, maybe something to do with the clutch? This clutch has always been super easy to operate, but damn does it clunk a bit during shifting at low speeds.
The carbs have been rebuilt very recently, the floats were weighed and float height was set. My ignition system is all new, coils, dyna S, plugs, leads, and the coil relay mod has been done. I just have an exhaust on it. Everything that has been done has been tested to prove good.
What are stupid things that could be happening.
Stupid stupid stupid,
