1979 XS 750
Hi all,
As the title says, my bike won't run unless I hit it with a little bit of starting fluid.
Once the bike is warmed up, it starts no problem, no starting fluid required. Don't worry, I've only used starting fluid on it a few times to try and tune it.
Obviously the bike is running too lean, even with choke on startup. I just put on a new Delkevic exhaust and pod filters, so I went 2 sizes up on the pilot jet, and 3 up on the main jet.
I previously had the carbs at 3 up on pilot and 4 up on main, but it still wouldn't start when cold.
