So I've got a 1981 xs 650 that is getting turned into a cafe, I've rejetted both main and pilot jets a couple sizes up, chopped the pipes, and put on airfilter pods to replace the stock airbox.
After I rejetted the bike it ran awesome for about a week, then It started acting up. I would go to start it and while the choke was on it would sound great and run like a champ, but when i turn the choke off the bike loses almost all of its power and sounds like a cap gun. I think its something to do with the air/fuel ratio because when the chokes out it runs great, then i push it in and it's crap.
Let me know what you guys think. Im thinking its gotta be something to do with the carb... maybe just a minor fix like adjusting the air or fuel screw?
Thanks!
