Help!!!!!! pulled carb's to clean #3 slow speed jet carb was not heating up as fast as other carb's. when feeling exaust header to check #3 carb stayed cool a lot longer than other carb's. jet needed cleaning small hole's were pluged. also slide needed polished. polished other 3 slides . I had put new after market idle jets in last fall and the carb tool did not fit them right so was not sure of initial setting sooooo I reset them to three turns out. installed carb's. It ran very bad !!!!!!! loud carb knock!!!!! Had to use choke just to keeo it runing at 2000 rpm could not even set to idle. Soooo repulled carbs changed idle jet's to 31/2 turns reinstalled no change!!!!! checked with sink gagues carbs were close . Oh carbs are 82 gl1100 slow speed jet is removable to clean. What in the world did I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need ideas. Bike ran well before, started very good , no carb knock Just #3 carb needed cleaned. Now runs like a basket case.
