Carburetor tuning continuation...

Since putting in those #50's didn't make a difference, I figured I might as well step up to the #55's, then I tried the #60's. Still nothing... Starts right up, but she won't run at idle, she slows right down and quits without me juicing the throttle.

So since none of those Pilot Jets seem to make a difference I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and take off the valve covers and check & adjust the valve lash. This wasn't quite as labor intensive as I thought it was going to be, and after all that she still didn't run any better.

I'm really lost... I wish I knew what I was doing...

Carburetor tuning continued...

Since changing the Pilot Jet to the #40 made no difference last night, Mike decided to give his buddy a call at Lakes Motor Sports to see what he recommended. His suggestion was to go the opposite direction with the Pilot Jet size and check the valve lash and make sure they were within spec which happens to be .005 +/- .001.

I figured the easiest would be to swap out the Jets again, so I put in #50's and played around with the idle and mixture screws, to no avail...

Time to put the bike away and go put the boat in the water for tomorrow's adventure at Quake on the Lake...

I'll get back to this on Sunday...
