    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    Well hallelujah it's finally fixed she runs perfect now so if their is anyone with this particular issue this is what fixed it I chamfered the bore where the slide and carb throat intersect, also the air jet under the plastic cap was partially blocked ( something I've never seen as long as I've...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    Well today I took carbs off I chamfered the area where the carb throat and vacuum piston intersect, swapped one vacuum cap/piston do to it being just a bit slow to lift .Also i did find one of the air jets under the little plastic cap was indeed blocked thanks to Dave mentioning it so hoping...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I think I might have found the problem not sure yet but I found an thread about slide scuffing and how to fix it my slides were a bit scuffed but I polished them up but did not fix the root problem. The thread said to use a file on the bottom side where the slide and carb throat intersect when I...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I checked fuel pump it flows correct measure I also tried raising the needle 1mm just to see if there was improvement but made it run worse it caused the studder to come in at 3500 instead of 4500 which lead me to think it could be rich at that rpm I'm gonna try to run a direct wire to my coil...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    Accelerator pump to much gas now that's a thought I've not considered maybe I will bend the stop tab a bit see if a change and the spring height is same but I've never measured the spring resistance wonder if there is a way to accurately do this

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I put a set of 76 manifolds on it i like them better because the exit end doesn't have a steep angle easier to put mufflers on and yes the cross over tube is gone. Ive actually wondered if that could be the problem. Bike runs like a scalded dog if you give it full throttle from a stop through...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    Today at 3:09 PM Add bookmark #29 Yes sir they all shoot a nice flow of fuel it honestly acts like it's running a bit rich in the 4000 rpm area no where else though plugs are perfect I'm starting to think I might be the mufflers are restrictive or could be that electronic ignition even though...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I've actually thought of that and wondered but I use a manometer instead of vacuum gauges that way I can make absolutely sure one is not pulling more than the other because it sucks against one another the interesting thing is when I get to that stutter spot if I just barely let off the throttle...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    Well droping the float height helped a lot but it is still present however you can pull out of the problem area. I set the float height to 16 mm, I guess I could set it to 16.5 I'm afraid I'll make it run too lean has anybody ever had a problem with the needle Jets and those carburetors being...

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I've finally figured it out it showed its face. I was at my ol motorcycle buddy's house were I shut it off , then he said start it and drive by his house at full throttle so he could hear it. So I cranked the bike took off and it didn't do it , turned around and launched that bike absolutely...

    You can get past 5000 rpm with throttle slowly but it has difficulty. Yes all rubber is new fuel lines etc

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    I cleaned all the advance but being behind the swing arm I've not got it all back together yet I'm hoping this was it it had some rust on the advancer and was sticking a little. Coil is new it's a neon coil that I just put on chasing the problem

    Bike acts like it has a rev limiter in around 5000 rpm

    This is a great observation and thank you for the input. I agree normally I would say this would be a carburetor issue thing is this is a separate set of carburetors that I've stuck on this both freshly rebuilt but with still the same symptom this one's got me pretty stumped I took the spark...
