I also never got the memo. So far the base is holding up well and after numerous beatings down the street the head gasket "bubbles" but...

So I retorqued the head as I previously mentioned... I put the top motor mounts back on and fired it up, rechecked my timing and somehow...

Thanks for the sense of hope! I'm thinking I just need to start from a level head and go over each and every piece of hardware on this...

I sat a box fan next to her and sped up the cool down process. I wouldn't have slept tonight if I hadn't done the re-torquing. There...

I know the answer to this... I'm just pissed, and impatient. I'm gonna wait til tomorrow night to retorqued the head. Gonna set the...

I'm definitely gonna give it a whirl. I assume it's probably best to let it cool all the way down?

my exhaust temps are considerably closer than they were... It isn't running as erratically either. Maybe the warmer weather plays a...

I thought the same thing. No marring on the screws, and very little side to side play on the butterfly shaft. I'm going with them never...

Picture one is left carb. Picture two is right carb. If that isn't close enough I'm not sure It'll ever be. Lol

I got em dialed in as close as my eyes can get em.when I open them the smallest amount using just the throttle plate I see an equal...

I have em pretty close but thats my next tool to invest in... A good set of sync gauges. I work on enough old shit to need them. I...

I just took it around the block again... It's got way more power... Pipes are still very different in temp. 146° C on right header...

I rechecked the left cylinder timing, and it's still just about right. So now both cylinders are timed with engine running and fall...

SHEESH. what a difference that made in starting... I swapped to the right side and it was WAY too advanced. Already made my adjustment...

And if the timing differs drastically then what do I do? With only one plate to adjust I assume my only way of timing adjustment would...

My throttle responds instantly. It doesn't seem to hang much either... Maybe a tad. I'm chasing an intermittent left cyl. Spark. I cut...

Got me a new tool today! A timing light... My issue must have been more with air/fuel because my timing is pretty close to where it...

I can say this though, I turned the screws out to a full 3 turns out and it didn't backfire a single bit. My timing is pretty close too...

To be honest, I just set them to be level with the mating surface of the bowls.

I'm just taking blind guesses without a light... It backfired out of the carbs before. I made an adjustment and now it backfired out of...

I have no timing strobe light yet and I'm impatient... If I wanna turn my points plate just a smidge to retsrd my timing and try to...

All of what you guys mentioned is enough for me to get rid of em. As cool as they look I'd much rather have a bike that runs properly...
