Hey Guys,
First off ive been lurking around the site for almost two years while ive been building my bike. Havent posted but have been able to find every answer ive been looking for...... until now.. lol
Anyhow, i have a 78ish xs built from scratch,with PMA, Pamco and VM34 carbs. Had it running a few weeks ago, got it to idle, synched the carbs and all seemed pretty good. The only thing wrong was I was have trouble off idel. loud sucking sound and it would want to die. I could get it to rev but with lots of throttle work. Now the Bike starts and runs with the choke on but nothing else. It will run with both on or just one side. the minute i take it off choke it dies. also when it is running with the choke it vibrates so much it walks across the garage on the center stand (is that normal?) I followed all the directions for cam chain and valve adjusment, thinking maybe that haad something to do with it. Timed it the best I could with the choke on. But no matter what i do nothhing seams to help.
Help!
Thanks
