I've been having the hardest time getting these carbs jetted and adjusted right. They are 1979 BS38's
Symptoms: Falls flat when throttle is cracked open at idle, spits and sputters when driving around and throttle is cracked open, runs good and pretty torque when riding with choke on, but take the choke off and the bike spits and spatters and chokes out. Idles good with good throttle response when mixture screw is 6.5 turns out.
I'm running open pipes, mikesxs knock off k&n xs pods, #30 piolet jet, #140 main jet, i lowered the needle (clip is set at #2), freshly rebuilt carbs 3 weeks ago, and new intake boot.
I've just about had it with these dam carbs, I'm new to the bike world and This is all new to me. I'm at the point where I just want to throw these carbs out the window!
