79 Special II Rad, has been stumbling in town stopped at intersections. Also, frustrating idle speed fluxuations.
Out on the road, mid range and on up to high rpm's, the jetting is very fun. Its wonderful! But that idle stumbling..
So the Carbs are drained. The slides are up and out and were a bit wet. The needle clip is currently in the original middle slot.
137.5 main jets seem just fine.
Mixture screws are currently in to 2 1/4 turns out.
Pilots original.
Both BP7ES'S were quite sooty black.
Hoping that just a click leaner adjustment of that main needle height gives results closer to correct.
Also, proved by sight that my occasional engine drip is the starter. Another great reason to look forward to a functioning electric start !
Cleaned and prepared my 82 spare starter for the transplant at oil change time.
And other leaks
none, not even the tires.
Head has completely sealed up
Drive chain tightened, and front end checks out as well.
So, that's the end of this weekend update
Enjoy riding ! -RT
