XS650 Addict
ok once again
150 psi on both cylenders (tested cold)
HHB PMA
Cap
Points
VM34s 185, 25, 3rd notch, (recommended needle/needle jet/slide, just cant remember specifics) air screw 1.5 turns out
650 central Hi-Vo intakes
XSpods (Junk replacing with steel dragon velocity stacks)
Stock headers
XSperformance reverse megaphones
This baby ran so nicely last year I would've ridden across country without a second thought. This spring its blasting white smoke, fouling plugs, and running really really erratically. Starts fine, lots of smoke, revs fine, will sit idling happily then start revving up on its own. I have dont the regular tune up, chain tension (chain replaced last year) valves all set to spec, points gapped, ect. same as before.
Ive been through the carbs a million times and everything is as it should be, all jest clear, all passages clear, float arm is parallel to casting as it came from the factory. no sounds of fuel in the floats.
Things that have changed
I put longer cables on to fit the higher handlebars that i wanted.
new seat and tail light (if that F-ed the moter i would be shocked)
the new cables were too long at the carb end so I did have to shim them with some spare ferrules I had, but Ive got them lifting together properly.
When I first started it up this spring and it ran like shit I opened the advance side to see it had somehow come right off, I re did that with some lock tight and it is springing back properly.
I found my cam chain adjuster to be backed out completely ( i figure that was my son playing while the bike was in the living room.
I just spent the afternoon going through it again and absolutely no difference. I love my bike, but shes never been this mean to me before.
