Hello to all that help with this, if you happened to come across my last thread, You will have known my bike to have a few electrical issues, but I believe I'm past those problems hopefully in the foreseeable future.
But my new problem begins with this. The bike is now a runner, I mean first kick everyday she'll get up and start. but I have begun to see problems with my carb tuning, I have my idle set so when she starts without choke she will idle around the 1700-2200 rpms and that's with pump gas that I believe is 87 octane, BUT when running I noticed a few problems that I know are not good.
1. When I looked down on the left hand side of the bike to tune the idle to an good rate, it seemed like there was a backfire with a spark that went was at the base of my vacuum line near the carb boots. which overall worries the crap outta me.(first sign of a fiery death)
2. when running their also appears to be access fuel coughing out the back of the carbs.(highly visiable due to not having an airbox set up or filters at the moment)
3. even when I let off the throttle it sometimes allows the bike to go up even higher into the rpms, but will eventually come down from them. almost like the throttle is sticking some how.
also if anyone can tell me properly how to adjust the air fuel mixture to an good level on the twin 38's that would be nice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I would really like to get on to riding this bike in a few weeks.
