hi
I just had my throttle cable changed for a double cable one, all done by a professional mechanic and very neat job...
However the bike won't go over 40miles an hour and starts stuttering at half throttle. My first guess was that the main jets must be clogged up and indeed, they had a thin layer of white powder covering them... Carbs are original BS38 solex
Great, put them through my ultrasonic bath, came out really clean but unfortunately the problem remains. Everything else in the carbs is fine.
A few months ago I did replace jets with a standard pack (jets, gaskets etc)... i then realised that I should have ordered bigger jets since I am running with UNI pods and megaton exhausts... But still, the bike was running ok, nly stuttering a bit when reaching 75% throttle.
So my questions are:
What size main jet should I order with UNI pods and megaton exhausts
What could be the reason for the existing problem (bearing in mind that the bike did not have such a big problem after replacing the jets and gaskets)... And that I can't think the double thottle cable can be responsible (both sides responding in sync)
Apologies for the long message but I amslightly puzzled...
Thanks
Christophe
