I've taken a several month hiatus from the project. I got so frustrated that I walked away before I did any damage. Unfortunately, the holidays and other projects got in the way and the bike sits untouched in the corner of the garage. I've decided to try to tackle this now. I've invested in a nice new manifold, have all my plumbing in top shape, I'm seriously thinking the issue lies in the carb itself. Part of me wonders if this is why this carb sat in a box over 30 years? Was there an issue then? Regardless, I've read that many of you avoid the repop carbs on ebay yet some have no problem with them. I assume this is hit and miss with quality. I'd gladly invest in a brand new unit if you guys think it is worth it. The gentleman who made and sold me the manifold swears by the Chinese carb and says his is running great. What are your sincere thoughts on them and do you think I should take a shot at one??
I look forward to your opinions.
