OdysseusXS
XS650 padawan
OK, I am a newb, I have owned my XS (82' Yank delivered Heritage special) for almost 8 months, aside from some carb issues which the vendor sorted (both carbs ultrasonically cleaned, diaphragms checked, needles inspected). The left cylinder has always run a bit richer than the right. The vendor assured me that the carbs were synced, the valve clearances were checked and adjusted and the cam chain adjusted (not in this order of course). I checked the cam chain adjustment yesterday, plug leads pulled and cranking it over with the electric leg. Inner shaft is less than 1 mm proud. As I haven't played with the carbs sync screw I assume that they are still in sync. The left cylinder has always had a tendency to 'pop' on decel. So much so that I had to change the vac line to a tighter fit in the barb. I have also sealed around the perished entry point for the barb on the L/H intake boot. Could the L/H richness/history of popping be part of a deeper prob with the L/H carb? I have a Clymer's manual and have been trying to get my head around it. I am trying to nut this one out but I am not sure what to check next. I have also rebuilt both air filters so that they have a uniform level of resistance (PO had two different filters in it).
Any comments?
