G'day!
FIrst time poster, few months lurker.
I've been working on getting a '75 XS chop road worthy and it's almost there untl I upgraded carbs last week and having issues I cannot work out.
I've upgraded to Mikuni VM34 bought from MikuniOz which has come pre jetted to Australian standards(?)
A bit of research and trying to familiarize myself with them, I installed them but cannot seem to work out what is going wrong.
The bike seems to kick over a lot easier and every second kick now, it idles and backfires a bit, but as soon as you flick the chokes off or even open the throttle with the chokes still on it cuts all revs and dies instantly.
I've played around with the air and idle screw, but no dice.
Any Aussies here that have bought through MikuniOz before and perhaps know if the pre jets/settings might be the cause?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
