First off. Have ya momma pipes, open. Mikes xs intake filters with the chrome caps. I've set the cam chain, valves and timing in that order. Tried going up two in the idol and 3 in the mains. Spark plugs said it was too lean. Went one up 1 in the idle and 2 up in the main. Ran better but no perfect. Went 1 up in idle and 3 up in main. Sputtering stoped and ran alot better but I have no power. If I wanted to get in the freeway I'd be too slow. Maybe go 50 miles an hour. My adjuster screws on the top of carbs seem to do nothing when turned in or out. Oh, the bike is an 81 with bs34 carbs. I've read the carb guide over and over. Pulled the carbs multiple times in multiple days in a row playing with the jet sizes. I can't seem to get this bike to scream down the road as it should. The bike idles great. Just has no power. Any advice please?
