[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 125372, member: 3691"] Had my best luck with WD40. I found two leaks in the number 3 cylinder (right rear sieated on bike) runner. One was at the base, it was not quite sealed over the port, and I hgad to do a minor mod of the runner bolt hole to let the front of the runner move rearward and straighten out the runner path and the rubber adapter. Than because of the odd angle of the previous attempt, it was letting air through. I suspect the wire in the hose makes for an interesting seal, so as they say in MN farmer world, "Give it to it". I tried to make another base gasket to match the runner shroud, and that was a fail. The rubberized cork failed when I torqued it down which gave me the leftover leak on the second test, So I replaced the new gasket with my original felpro high heat cork gasket,m and torqued it down. I went through all of the connections and torqued them to 35 pounds with the actual torque wrench (impressive I know). and ran the third test. I am right as rain on the manifold side. I tried the base gasket, and I think the carb is ingesting the vapors from the top so I cant get a good read on those, That and when the RPMS changed it was more of a slow roll, so I am fairly certain the WD40 vapor cloud hit the filter. Have to block it off with a bag and run it again tomorrow just to be sure. With the leak on the runner, the rpm change was immediate, like you twisted the throttle. BUT!!! I am idling at 2100 to 2200 rpm. When you start it she stumbles once or twice, but then takes hold and purrs right along at 2200 rpm, goes through redline real quick. And the tone of the bike, it sounds throatier, and meaner. No more slurping sounds from the carb either. I hated that sound. So next I try to adjust the fast idle? Also, should a neuter the choke, and how is it done? [/QUOTE]
