[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 127575, member: 3691"] And here is the real fun part, it would only catch and ride along with the primary say 50 to 60% of the time. So the bike would rund outstanding in the shop on the center stand on a level surface (the spring would pop out and the secondary would open as expected), but with the spring tension on the throttle, and sitting on the side stand, it would be difficult to start and ran SUPER rich. I will test drive it tonight, but its hot out and I have to finish putting it together for the last time. And Joe, I built that new adapter block that sits on top of the plenum. I did exactly what you said in a response a few weeks back. I used furniture grade A veneered plywood (not strand board) and mounted the adapter to the board using 1 inch Lag bolts. I did start the bolt holes with a 3/16" drill bit and went halfway into the wood to give the lag bolts room to expand without cracking the wood. I built new gaskets for that joint, and the carb gasket out of my carquest fuel rated gasket material. The lag bolts never even came close to the surfaces, they all torqued down to 30 lbs. And seating the wood on the plenum was awesome as you can see how the wood bites into the plenum. It passed the leak test with flying colors [/QUOTE]
