All right, I think I may have a couple of issues going on at the same time, not sure. When I bought the bike the PO told me a couple of mechanics told him it had a bad stator. I am getting a Kaw factory manual for it tomorrow, so I am going to address that then.
The bike sat for seven years, so I:
--Cleaned BS34 carbs, rebuilt and wet set them.
--Checked carb manifolds with starter fluid, no air leaks
--New AGM battery
--Plugs okay... new NGK plug caps
--Compression tested it today, left to right: 140, 130, 140, 140 (seems acceptable); while I was checking compression, I noticed a nice blue spark at each plug.
First time I started bike, it did so by itself. The last two times, would not start until I squirted starter fluid in airbox. Bike is stock, airbox, exhaust, etc. 37.5 pilot jets and 127.5 mains. I have the main idle adjust on the carbs turned all the way in, and am at only about 1100 or so RPM. Besides the hard start, after it is warm when I crack the throttle, the idle drops to 500 or less and wants to die, but if I stand there and feather it some, I can get it to stabilize at about 1100, but the idle seems to 'wander' a bit, even so. What am I missing? Could this be related to a potential stator problem? I am kinda stuck... HELP!
