Hi all,
Have put about 500 miles on my shaftie, and it's been fun. However, I've noticed it's been getting considerably "richer". It puffs at idle, and smokes when I hammer on it. It will clear up if you stay in it, but it's getting to the point where cruising isn't easy. It seems like it will load up, then start to miss. If you downshift and crank up the R's, it cleans out and is ok for a little bit. Plugs are tan after a hard run, however VERY sooty after a easy cruise.
It starts great. I mean when it's cold, it will start as soon as you hit the button. I mean, RIGHT NOW. I NEVER have to choke it either.
The iginiton is good. I know for sure.
The mods are K&N pods, 4-1 open pipe, aftermarket ignition, accell wires, B7es plugs. Air pipes on the valve covers are just connected togather with a piece of hose.
The carbs are off of my '76 chain drive 900. They have the stock jets in them. I don't remeber what the jet sizes are, but I do know when I had them out I looked them up and they were stock.
The bike ran great at first, this richness problem seems to be getting worse.
Any ideas?
Thanks
