I posted a thread about Boiling out my carbs with Pine Sol a few days ago, I thought I had it beat, the bike ran for the few minutes I had to test it before the guys in the building it is in, needed to lock up.
Today I went to fine tune things and put the throttle cables. and air boxes back on, and when I started it, One side had idle issues (Right side), and the other idles fine but would pop giving it gas (Left).. which I think is a lean condition,(?) I saw when I reassembled the carbs one bowl said Carb 1 and the other Carb 2, I presumed carb 1 was the Left carb? or is that wrong and switching the carb bowls my issue?
like I said I don't know that much about which holes and pathways are idle and other stages. Does anybody have a couple diagrams for what is what? I cannot find my service manual, I think my Brother in Law borrowed it and didn't return it.
One last thing during my trouble shooting I took the air adjust screw needle valve out and shot some carb cleaner in there and it fired on the idle circuit... so it must be from before the screw GETS the fuel..
I honestly appreciate all the help and advice you have given to me, EVEN when it was on other peoples threads.
I really miss this bike, it ran so well for the 20 years I had it before I parked it and it was STUPID leaving gas in it.
What a Rookie mistake. I am embarrassed.
