Kz750b tuning.

Hi Everyone,
Can't get fine tuning correct.
I have a rebuilt 79KZ750B. 2into 1 Mac exhaust. Checked valve timing twice , ignition timing also. New carb kit , new diaphrams , carb stripped and cleaned twice . No air leaks. Checked float levels etc etc. continually fouls plugs - black sooty.
Have had running reasonably well - some intermittent missing, However I read a forum a while ago that suggested going to 50 pilot jet.. since then more fouling and more missing past idle. Also Adjusting pilot screw doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.
Can any one who has Mac 2 into 1 pipes tell me what jet changes are necessary.

Are you sure about your float levels, any time I have had similar fouling issues the float levels were high.

I would then double check your work in the carbs. The BS carbs used on the twins are kind of odd balls.

There is a great write up here you should read through....

750 Twin Carb Info

My only experience with a MAC exhaust was using the 34mm carbs with three jets. I had to increase the large pilot jet and that was it. The MAC will lean the bike out a bit but not too much. You may need to go back to 40 pilot jet. The bike should be lean with that exhaust and stock jets, a fouling issue indicates a problem somewhere.

FWIW my 77 750B had a slow leak in the brass carb float. Till it was identified, I was going crazy trying to figure out what my issues were.

Thanks Tyler , I suspected it was odd to have signs of rich when it should be lean. I'll pull the carbs off and take another look and check floats etc as you suggested.
