[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 127226, member: 2409"] OK, I took a 100 mile ride. The bike seems to run about the same as before, but with a better idle when stopped. It is back to dropping real low and threatening to die when rolling to a stop when it is not completely warned up. When warm this goes away. Funny thing is that, even when cold, I can rev it up and close the throttle as fast as I can and it doesn't drop down like that. I think I'll just live with that. After reading 81 Gwing's thread I have made some changes to the main jets. Ever since I did the single carb my plugs have been very light, almost white, and I would be more comfortable if they were more of a tan colour. Temp gauge does go up until fan comes on sometime, more so than with OEM rack. So I put the #105 that was my primary main jet into the secondary side and drilled the #95 ,that was in secondary, to 1.2mm (#120) and putting that in the primary side. So if it doesn't work out I can put the original primary main back where it was. But I went for a short test run and it runs fine. So will put some miles on and check plugs. BTW, I filled up with gas; my mileage for this tank full is a whopping 22 mpg. Pretty bad but that was lots of city riding, starting from cold, as well as testing in driveway. But I should also add that the bike smells like gas after a ride and there are no leaks that I can see. :Awe: Brian [/QUOTE]
