My bike will start up after a few kick only if I have the timing full advanced, the carbs choked and full throttle. It will only idle at full throttle though for a litttle while and die. If you let off the throttle it dies. The plugs are wet with gas after that too. The carbs are rebuilt and the fuel level is exact. I did the VF500 magneto swap with the accel capacitor. The spark is nice and fat though. I have a new condensor too.
The bike is a 80 that I added all the points parts to. Could it be possible that the advance is working? It is tight and you can only move it with a wrench. I got brand new bushings and laberinth seals for the cam, but it seems too tight. The point gap is exact. The valves are adjusted good too.
The carbs are original. The diaframs are nice and the slides move freely. It just seem like it's running retarded or the carbs are feeding too much fuel. I just don't under stand how the cabs could be off. I even tried putting the original size jets in and it didn't change at all.
When it does run for 15 seconds it sounds good (no backfires) I'm stumped, anybody?
