Put them on your gauges and see what each carb is doing. It could be cam timing but I doubt it. Uploading a vid. I'll look at yours when it's done.

I bought brand new flatslides and they sounded like that...could never get used to it. I sold them and went back to my 33 smoothbores. Definitely sounds like something else is wrong though. Checking the sync with vacuum would be a good start. Very strange....

Current: 79 KZ1000 A3 MKII, 78 KZ1000 A2, 78 KZ1000 Z1-R, 78 KZ650 SR, 80 KE175

My lead carb was way up while #4 was close behind.The other two were low. Popping out of the carbs and running like bad sparks. Made the vacuum even and it all went away. :)

The flat slide clacking doesn't bother me. It goes away when you get off idle anyway. I will try putting my gauges on and see whats up there. I think I will pull the cam cover and double to make sure my cam timing is correct also.

Good idea. It was running with the 36's wasn't it?

Yes, that's what makes it a head scratcher.

Float levels are as good as I can get them without being able to do a clear tube test. That is the only thing I don't like about the RS carbs.

Do they have the main jet cap like my 33's? I was looking at rubber corks at the hardware store. Easy enough to make a tester.

Hmmm, a cork may work. I also thought about tapping and putting a nipple in it.

JetsRus has caps for the Miks. They might have one for yours too. I made my own but one of them would be a better tool.

Jon, what are those ports on the side of the carbs? My 33's won't run for SHT without my air box.
