[QUOTE="ekvh, post: 29324, member: 1179"] I don't know how this happened, but for five years, I have a had a problem at lower rpm. I had done the off-idle jet fix, and was on my third set of carbs for my 77 trying to get it right. I was adjusting my choke the other day and when tightening the intake runners, I was using a ratcheting wrench. I got to one runner and it wouldn't fit on the bolt. I started looking, thinking it was odd that it would fit, and looking more closely, it looked like an 1100 runner. I got my calipers and it was!!!. I have four that are chrome plated and that's why they were on there instead of the aluminum ones. Some where along the line I got an 1100 runner instead of a 1000.I've only put a few miles on it after re-synching, but I think that is going to do it. On the choke problem, did you guys know there is a bendable tab that kicks the bellcrank to up the idle? Mine was set to low to advance it at all. If yours screams to high with full choke, it can be bent back to lower the idle some. My first 77 would start and rev up to about 4600. I was nervous about it. I have this one set to warm up at about 2500. Time to ride! [/QUOTE]
