One-Mik Wonder
Don's pieces for early bikes are quality. I have mine on as of today. Now, I'll have no rubber degradation worries.
Unhappily, though, I'm still chasing this high idle when the bike's hot. I have been afraid to touch the valves because the bike runs well at speed and pulls hard through the gears, but when the bike heats up it idles too high; I had to back off on the speed screws to compensate. Been through all the mish mosh about synching carbs, looking for vacuum leaks, setting float levels, praying to a cow...
Off to other areas of the forum to look for some answers. I have no intention of wasting another riding season chasing this phantom, so I might be looking for a good local tuner. I have the bike at about 90 percent after having brought it home stone cold dead in August of '07, but I'm running out of patience.
I'll start a separate thread on this topic if need be, but kudos to Don... at least I know my manifolds are not the problem...
