Also if the seal under the choke body is leaking would that cause a lean or rich problem.
I am trying to diagnose a carb problem on my left side that I have been unable to solve in 5 years
of playing with it. I have to have the fuel or air screw out min 3 full turns just to get it to run somewhat
correctly. If I hold the throttle at say 3000 rpm when the bike is good and hot the carb will fart bad!
I believe its a lean condition. I dont have points (Pamco digital ignition) new reg and rec ect.
Pipes are new and sealing well on all connection points. I've had the carbs of so many times
ive lost count, floats good, needle rings new, tried flipping bowls, no change.Its either something internal
that I cant see. As per 5-Twins the 76/77 model year carbs are not compatable with any other year.
Cannot find another left hand carb body on line for those years. I think that the 76 year may not work either
as it was not on a rack pivot but not positive. Not sure if theres a probe small enough to run thry the air screw opening but with a magnifying glass and a light see no internal damage. What usually happens on those 2 years on the carb if the screws are turned in to tight? I have what I think is the original air /fuel screws and they look slightly bent on the tip but no material missing. Thx for any advise. The bike rides and handles so nice now its a shame I cant get it to run rite !
