:?Just had to try the new forum so I'll ask the following question. It seems carburators are indeed my downfall. What would cause the bike to run very shitty at low rpms with no power when taking off. Almost feels like it is starving but it could be flooding. Once I am doing 100khr and over 3000rpm it goes like stink and has lots of power. I have done all I can think of to the carbs...new kits etc...Floats set. Timing has been checked rechecked and checked again. Coils have been changed and rechanged as the condenser and the points. There is very little backfire and hardly any popping upon decelleration.All this with a set of 1000 carbs.
Question #2. With a set of 1100 carbs, it idles really good, starts right up but floods like heck as soon as I give it throttle as evidenced by the plugs. Would a stuck or sticky needle and seat (float valve) cause this? When I turn the carbs upside down after setting the floats, two of the floats sit quite a bit lower in the body. I suspect those two valves are sticky.
That is enough for now and thanks for any advice.
