Thanks WG!
Tell you what, I'll put up my Keihins up against your Keihins any day for the "iceburg award."
Seriously though, I've been fighting with the CVKs for over a year now trying to get them dialed in. It all started when I bought a TBR slip-on and removed the emissions-related stuff. The administrator of zr-7.com came up with some jet kits specifically for the ZR7, as well as instructions to remove EGR, etc.
I never could get rid of the off-idle hesitation, although it did improve somewhat with the addition of his kit.
So I bought an Ivan's jet kit and followed his instructions to the letter. The bike seemed to perform better, but the mileage suffered dramatically, VERY dramatically!
I had got to the point with all the carb removals and teardowns that I ruined one of the diaphrams. So instead of paying $150 for one, I bought a used bank of carbs from an ebay seller that was parting out a bike like mine. I even bought another airbox because mine had been "modded" a few times.
Now my problem (besides poor mileage) is that yesterday after a short ride I noticed what appeared to be an oil leak around my valve cover gasket. My hands and sinuses were too cold to determine if it was oil or gas.
Come to find out, it was a little of both. I noticed that my oil level had risen quite a bit, telling me that now there is fuel in the crankcase. It seems I have a stuck needle valve on one of the carbs, so I'm off to check the float levels and remedy that problem. While I'm at it, I'm going to go through the carbs one more time to see if there is anything I overlooked the last time.
Thanks for the advice.
Jim
