Here's the LowDown:
'73 TX650-K&N airpods, stock headers, Shorty Mufflers. Main Jet 135, Pilots stock, Needle at 1 slot below middle. Mixture screw 1 turn out from seated. Everything else is stock.
Here's the Problem:
Bike starts on 1 or 2 kicks with choke on. Flip off the choke and it idles nicely at 1100rpm. If left alone will idle for a good 10mins and then dies. If after warm it is given throttle, from idle --> 1/2 throttle pulls great, at 1/2 --> 3/4 throttle backfires like a madman, loudly. Don't want to throw a piston so I don't try for 3/4 --> Full Throttle.
So whats the deal? I'm a newb here, but am slowly learning.
If anyone can help that would be Greatly Appreciated.
