synching question

[Guest]

I would try re-adjusting the idle using the highest RPM method again. I've found that minor adjustments to those mix screws make big differences in how the bike starts, idles & takes off.

Two turns out sounds a bit lean to me - warm the bike up, adjust the idle to around 1200, put a fan in front on it & systematically adjust each mixture screw until the engine RPM is at it's highest. You kinda have to listen & "feel" the bike vibration as you do it.

Blip the throttle & see if it's getting smoother, reset the idle back to 1200 and move the the next carb. I do the inside ones first (2 & 3).

When done right you should hear the exhaust go from a kinda "tinny" sound, to more of a lower rumble (relatively speaking). Also, when you blip the throttle it shouldn't bog or hang at the higher RPM's.

THEN do your carb sync & see if it's better... might want to raise the needles too, to eliminate any mid-range flat spot.

good luck

thanks guys jumping back into the garage today..

tried starting it a min ago and noticed carb 1 was jiggling back and forth. was able to tighten the clamp almost half a turn. checked all of them and it fired up smoothly and idled better than it has in awhile. im gonna try and re sync if it stays consistent ill be happy. and ill reset the mix screws while im at it

thanks i feel like an ass.

idles well

sync wasn't far off

now if i had afew $ for gas

also tried to do the high rpm method :-k and ya with the idle screw all the way out and there was no end to the rpm's... in order for me to use the idle screw i had to turn in the mix. but no popping! the pipes sound even and throttle response is noice

ohhhh YEAH

ohhhh YEAH

Well ya all know i couldent resist a test drive my usual 20 mile trip. all i can say is holy undergarments batman!!! Climbing hills in 5th again.. slid out the back tire once cause the guy in front of me broke suddenly but it was awesome to take a ride without going "why does it sound like this? Or what was that?" or a few 4 letter words Not quite smooth as silk but defiantly Jersey knit. Cant wait for monday its going to be in the mid 70's yay no layers
