1977 Wing with carb troubles
Bike came to me with an idle issue. It won’t idle down from 3000rpm if you just touch the linkage in will drop to 1000 rpm touch the throttle and its back at 3000 rpm.
In my attempt to curt this I have done the following:
*Checked the timing belts
*Cleaned advanced unit
*Check the compression 155 +/- 5psi good
*Set valves .004 in
* Set timing split method
*Rebuilt Carbs, Air jets were in wrong locations. I didn’t split the plenum
*Cleaned and assembled the slide and cap
* Installed the Needle “washer” fix.
* Installed new manifold tube O-rings.
* Attempted to sync carbs but with the idle problem I couldn’t get it done.
Everything seems to look and function as it should.
So what did I miss?
