Boy do I like that paint job. That’s how Momma Yama should have done it in the first place. Such a great looking scooter Bob

Since installing my Boyer ignition, Ive been trying to get my carburetors dialed in. The last time I took it out , the carbs were set at factory spec and it fired right off and idled well when it was cold, but when the motor got hot the idle sped way up. So I reached down and backed off the two idle stop screws and it seemed to run fine, but I was freeway blasting that day, so not much low rpm running.
Today however, when I went to start it cold, it took more cranking than normal and idled roughly and missed and popped at idle. Today’s ride was all stop and go with low rpms and a lot of riding with the throttle just barely open.
Once it warmed up the idle seemed fine, but I’m getting lots of popping on decel and when I’m cruising at low speeds with the throttle just barely open, same thing, lots of popping and farting. As soon as I twist that grip it opens up and runs well again.
Here’s my hunch.
I think my pilot / idle circuit is running too lean. I think that was why my idle speed went up on me the first time I had it out. And then when I set the idle speed down , now the lean fueling is causing it to pop and miss at small throttle openings and on decel. When I got home, I set the idle screws back to factory settings and opened up my air screws a half turn. I’ll take it out again soon and see where that puts things.
Wow great looking bike! Congrats!
CB 350. Fun bike. I had one a few years back. At 5k it was like a massive power surge came on. Brakes are decent.
Having just noticed this, I will have to clean it up and then ride a few miles to see if my jetting changes have improved the situation. I am bouncing against hard freezes soon and putting the bike away for the winter. Today would have been a nice day for a county excursion except I needed to get a snowblower to daughter's house and clean her raingutters which I hadn't done since 2017. I refurbished the home then and she is such a slob I don't like going there anymore. She brings the most precious grand daughter for us to watch 5 days a week but it hurts to go and see her house.Modern engine monitoring systems are SO useful!
Hello MaxPete,if you need an alternator rotor or a paint job - speak to Jim!
HE did that gorgeous paint on Mailman’s Big Red as well as on my two bikes.

Hello MaxPete,
Does that tail fit without any modification to the frame? If so, can you relay what vendor you purchased it from? Thanks!
