Got the kz Zzz'n Superfast veryy smooth- And Handles like a DREAMM (Except for the right hand sharp turn exhaust scrap, SO MAD my own fault bikes to SLAMMED) (going to custom make a new exhaust when i turbo this pig)
OK so heres my only problem-
first ran it- garage idle for about an hour- road it for maybe 2 hours around town- Battery DIES!!!
ok-make it home- batterys at 11.43v-(brand new battery)-
Recharge the battery over nite- (13.39V)
I road it All day yesterday all day today- Battery Never died-
but- after about an 30 mins of riding- at stop lights- Sounds SOOO Dawgie like its not getting gas or maybe not enough spark- Shut it off- Let it sit for 5 mins
Fires back up an is a straight beastt very responsive very fast off the line-
20 miles down the road- stop a light- Dawgiee dawgie- get going, crack the Throttle it gets Skippy, REAL deep suction then TAKES off like a bat outta hell.. Runs GREAT on the highway-
got back to the house today would idle but dawgie like i said battery read 13.48V..

Battery cables/ground connections tight?
Check voltage at battery while idling,does voltage increase when you pour the coals to it?
If voltage doesnt increase check reg/rect and go from there.

Maybe fuel starvation? Your fuel cap may not be venting properly/enough. Doesn't sound likely. But worth checking. If it does it again. Just stop open and close the gas cap and see if it recovers. You will have only wasted a few minutes of your time in trying. Good luck.

Thanks guys.
Plugs look to be burning excellent,by there silver fox color.(going to get new ones anyway)
All terminals are tight.
The number four carb is pouring gas out of the air filter when I come to a stop. I need to adjust the float.
Maybe a hint. After it warms up an is acting dawgie.. If I turn the coke on,it stalls....and then is semi hard to start
I do have a Dyna ignition. I was running accelll 3ohm coils(yellows) ,one took a dump. So I put a pair of 2 ohms on... (black,thread on wires)
Cap isn't the tightest. I am running older 28mm carbs with a cv gas tank an pitcock (it's a boltin pitcock.?)
Few issues. Very simple I'm guessing
Runs very good at high speed, and has charged very well since new battery.
Except at idle. Giving throttle, she has a deep suction. Zero response...an then only seems to beat times...weird ol girl lol
Can you run 2ohm coils with the Dyna ignition?(ignition was on when I bought it)
Lmk I'll see what I can get into today an where she's running at.
Thanks guys.

You are not supposed to run 2 Ohm coils with the Dyna. They are very clear about that in the directions.

Gasoline might have entered the crankcase and diluted the oil.
Would examine and sniff-test the oil.
If the oil has been contaminated with gasoline, should immediately change the oil and filter.
Likely NOT the float adjustment.
Condition more likely results from a leaking float valve.
Good Fortune!
