ok as some noticed I have the SCC and was doing it prior to coming here or anywhere at that. Before I got the bike I told JP that this is what I was going to do, and I done just that. I bought one on Fleabay and got pissed and got it sorted then JP told me about Joedrum and well, I thought hey why not go to a sight with other creative thinkers too!
Anywho on with things. I have mine set up with the VW Solex variable clone. I chopped the electrical off it. Installed a manual choke and fixed the air cut off valve into the always on position. I have the Idle jet at a #60 and the main jet currently at a #135 and a #140 on order to see what it does.
It runs and Idles pretty good (about 1200 is where I like it so far it does go lower) and pretty happy with it, and it starts with minimal issues, due to still (at advice I read somewhere) to drill a hole in the choke plate, I have to be careful how much choke i give initially. Where I am at is I need to install new plugs and my initial kneejerk reaction was to put colder plugs in it.. as it was running lean, now that it is only slightly lean and soon to have more fuel going through it I am leaning in just doing stock 8's. However at the same time I am also looking at the idea of the whole project and something is telling me (the voices are in mah head bawhahaha) to get Hotter plugs. I am seeking thoughts and opinions of those in the know and of opinions of skill. I in the past was always of the opinion of replace hard parts with stock parts and maintain it in the stock dynamic so that parts are easy to identify and replace.
Another angle of plugs I was thinking, what are your thoughts on this, buying stock 8's and if they look good then try 9's? and get 7's and just put them all through the test and see how they do. The thing that scares me is I burned a hold in a piston once trying to solve a problem once of fouling plug, and it was such a perfect hole and is the worse place, on the interstate. Luckily that was a two stroke and easy to swap a jug and piston, not in the place to want to do that to Winger, as much as I like working on him not wanting to do that level yet, I want to ride it not replace my mistakes of cooked pistons.
So looking at input of plugs best approach on this matter. Stock dual points (with the upgraded extra ground set up from the CB450)
Bonus question, Also what is the SCC club stuff?
