Ok so as some of you may know, I've been fighting to get my bike to idle properly. Last night it started coughing back out of the air filter on the right side. Pulled the carbs today checked float height and idle jet, both clean and in spec. Start it up, chugging along ok with choke. I then turned the choke off and had to pepper the throttle to keep it going and it started coughing out of the air filter again. Two seconds later I notice smoke so i lay off the throttle. Another second later and the fucking air filter is on fire. The thing is half melted before I am able to put it out with quick exhales of breath. I then look inside the carb and see what i pressume is burnt gas everywhere.
WTF!
