    Looking good! IMO it’s good to get them running and even riding and shake them down. Nothing worse than grinding on nice new powder coat or paint because this tab has to be moved or that bracket angle has to be changed because of some unforeseen circumstance that seems to be building custom...

    Awesome. I’ve got a gs500 scrambler project that I think the height would work on those stockers

    I don’t care what they say, they can keep their Holleys and edelbrocks. Those Rochesters are fantastic in a street rod if you know how to talk to them.

    I tried to sneak out there for a photo op but they were on me. Got this though, hopefully they get that underpass BS done soon

    Calling all tuners/plug chop

    What am I looking at here? On the rich side for sure This is after a 3/4 throttle run. I’ve got idle dialed perfect and it looks and feels great up to 3/4T , after that it seems to fall on its butt. Does the strap look like I need to add more timing? What are the flakes on the strap.

    83 Yamaha XS 650 Misfiring in low rpm.

    Sounds like your pilot jet/circuit. Sea foam won’t make a difference on that tiny rascal. Gotta get in there, happy hunting.

    capacitor locations

    Like Mike said vibration is the killer. Hugh’s cap should come with a spring bracket. When I was running Hugh’s system I switched to a very small antigravity 12v battery. Does away with the headlight flicker. The battery actually takes up less room than the cap

    Idles poorly, surges and dies after 40 minutes of riding

    I would highly suspect your e advance. When they get hot they go to hell. Those xs charge units are famously unreliable. Check out the gonzo thread and get in touch with Jim. I’ve been running a gonzo box for 2k miles without a hiccup. Slight mods to the wiring harness on your 80 tci bike...
