I haven't the confidence to try checking valve clearences yet.But I will.Might be this winter when it's too wet to go after them winter Crappies! I been steady trying to dial in a formula on the carbs.Woowie,I had some back firing,mostly on decellaration and found the end hole in the idle jet to be plugged,cleaned that,sprayed and blowed the rest of the carb while it was out.Got it running better at higher speeds,when I say higher speeds I mean about 50 mph on some small roads away from the local Police route,Havent registered it yet.But then wanted to flood after idling for a few minutes.It will stay running if I raise the idle screw up a little now after adjusting some more,but now want s to bog at higher speeds,AS I said before they are mikuni gravity fed carbs,only one adjusting screw,I,m assuming is fuel Air mix.Do you think my carbs have the drill out to get to air adjustment screw?Now I,m thinking I,ll check coil readings .Anyone know what they aughtta read?So far both plugs spark good until they flood and soot over.From reading they are the correct non resister plugs,two new ones and old one for spares,which look new.I haven't seen an o ring yet.What would require o rings in my carb?Also there are no washers for the main jets.Thanks in advance for all your help.I.ve had several bikes in my life and my favorites have been the older ones.Look at this crazy list starting when I was about 14 years old.
