So it went round the block.
It's cleaning up good
The EPA plugs were out of the idle mix screw ports. Left cylinder mix screw was seated
looked like they were using the throttle cable slack adjustment barrel as the idle speed setting............
The "thumb wheel" idle speed screw is buried 'tween the middle carbs. Just able to move it by tapping on it with a long screwdriver.
someone had problems with a stuck idle screw....
This one was easy; loosen one set of riser bolts, straighten bars.
Runs smooth all the way up. gets horsepower at about 6K, goes good to red line at 9500
Clutch slips a bit at full throttle about 7500 on up. bit of time might fix that... Or Barnett springs LOL.
My fancy "see if it runs OK before spending money clutch cable.
Bet you can guess where THAT came from.
Well gotta pull the tank back off and mess with the idle screws, synch and run it again.
Suspect it might like a jet needle shim job.....
Oh chain was very loose, so was axle nut (with the cotter in place) AND the adjuster nuts.
This thing is geared pretty darned low. about 5,000 RPM at 60MPH.
