Also I noticed one of the carbs looked out of sync, so I synced it up with the other ones just to be safe.
Any other tips?

I did notice tho that sometimes it would still seem like when I’m taking off that it’ll have trouble applying throttle, likes it’s bogging out. I don’t know if that just means I’m starting wrong (since this is like my 4th time riding a motorcycle, ever) or if something else is.
Other than that when she gets going, it’s a blast and I’m in love with it.
Thanks for all the help!

I wuz gonna ask, but just couldn't.Rick H. wrote: I find it interesting that you said "one of the carbs looked out of sync, so I synced it up with the other ones". How did you make this determination and more importantly, how did you sync it up with the others? Did you do this visually or via a vacum gauge of some sort or?

If I did it wrong, could I tell by sound?
