Yikes!
Well I think it was the carbs afterall:
I checked the float bowls, and they were very dirty and crap was everywhere. So much for the PO cleaning the carbs.
It was running more and more poorly so I decided to open up the carbs. Man they are messed up. Junk everywhere and not a single seal could be safetly reused!
They need a full rebuild, and one of the carb bodies was JB welded at the top
. Also, I think one of the diaphrams is slightly torn.
Besides that my engine has developed quite a clatter lately
. After doing the best I cleaning the carbs, the bike no longer runs!
Luckily I have a jugs with 700cc and 3K on the rebuild, 750 heads and cams, good working 24mm VM's, and a good bottom end with only 6K handy huh?
So I'm gonna have to remove the engine thats in there now (with 26K) and put in my built motor. I guess I'll rebuild the motor I have in their now for later use!
