[QUOTE="kerryb, post: 185930, member: 2980"] I feel your frustration. I have an '83 aspencade, paid a pretty penny for a beautiful bike with 49 k miles on it. Runs perfect and is a joy to ride. My other bike is also an '83, with a mix of parts from an interstate and a std. I carefully rebuilt the carbs with a complete Randakk's kit and book. I was thrilled when the bike started right up and ran pretty good with only a bench-synch. Did a vacuum synch and it ran a little better. I took the caps off the mixture screws during the rebuild but had to replace a broken one during this time. I have no idea if this new (used) screw is oem but it looks just like the other ones. Here is where MY frustration arises... the rebuilt bike just doesn't have that little extra torque of the pretty one for a smooth take-off. I have to give it extra rpms and slip the clutch a little more to get going without the engine protesting and shuddering a little. When I have tried adjusting the mixture to get better power, I use an external tach and can get No change in rpm no matter where the screws are! Believing the engine was running lean, I turned all the screws out another full turn and ran the bike. 800 miles later it seems to be slightly better, but still not anywhere near as nice as the pretty bike. So how come my mixture screws seem to have no effect on the idle speed. I was meticulous in making sure all the passages (idle and acceleration pump) were clear during the rebuild. It has a new fuel filter, and gets pretty good gas mileage (45mpg)? I'm stumped, sorry for hacking your thread. [/QUOTE]
