Recently finished the rebuild on my current project and having a few issues with a slight breakup when cruising in 4th-5th at around 50-55 mph. These symptoms only occur when cruising. At WOT no issues at all.
Little Background. (1977 XS650)
Got the bike together and was running great. Carbs rebuilt (oldsckoolcarbs), cam chain adjusted, valves set, ignition timing check (pamco ignition w/ new coils plugs etc.)
Had an issue with fuel overflow out of the left carb. Pulled the carbs and found a leaky brass float. Ordered a mikuni float, installed and checked float height. Found the the original was a little low around 23.5mm so i adjusted both to 25mm. Got everything back together and seemed to run great, no more leak.
Yesterday I hooped on the bike and experienced the symptoms above. So my question is can float height (to high, fuel to low) create these symptoms? I've double checked all of the above adjustments and everything is OK.
I did notice it looked like it was holding more fuel in the lines (clear hoses). Any advice
