Team,
Excuse any errors, typing this on the phone.
I installed a pamco on my 80 last weekend. The bike actually ran great before.. would stall every now & then & liked to be warmed up.. sometimes hard starting, but still fairly easy.
Anyway, install went great, wired up right. Auto advance mech moves freely & the springs snap back in place etc.. timing looks good, I've moved it slightly both directions & issue doesn't seem to change.
Now, when I'm riding the bike- I can feel a loss of power.. it doesn't pull cleanly thru the gears... light throttle is fine, but anything over 1/4 1/2 throttle, it just doesn't feel like it wants to pull. Kinda hesistates... To me, it almost seems like a lean conditon... the bottom half of any of the gears.
I have not been able to do any plug chops when its hesistating, but I took it out for a 15min ride with varied rpms.. the plugs ceramics were kinda gray/brown, top of the electrode was dry & gray...
So- the question is----could a pamco require a change in my jetting ??
The bike ran good before, I'm kinda wondering why I even bothered to change it.
Any other suggestions??
Your opinions are valued.
Thanks
