I know carb ?'s are asked quite a bit however, i am stumped....
I have done everything in the carb guide (read at least 5-10 times). The problem is the bike will only run on choke and it runs to 4500 rpm once it is warm. When you turn the choke off it sputters and will eventually choke itself out.
Here is my quick list of what has been done:
The carb has been completely cleaned, all jets, ports, needles both in choke system, main, etc. All stock jets, etc. in great condition.
Floats are working, correct height, nice seals.
Diaphragm are complete slides go up and down smoothly. Verified the speed by closing off the top portion (go down nice and slow).
I just changed the butterfly throttle seals (all 4).
I have a 78 carb that works great and runs perfectly on the bike with the same carb holders, no leaks, good seal. I disasembled both of them at the same time and did exactly the same process on both.
There are no air leaks on the intake side. Sprayed everything with carb cleaner,etc.
Also, verified with the 78 carb running perfectly (carb holder verified).
Any help would be appreciated.... I need to send this off to someone as I have spent way too much time with "0" results.
