[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 120719, member: 3691"] Was lean today, dialing into a richer setting, freed up the pipes, I am waiting for the cocktail mixers. Yep, going black headesr with Cocktail shaker ends with a slight upturn, I liked the sound on a rat cx I built, they oughta be a hoot on an oldwing. Yea, the carb is working just fine, I have it steady idling at 1050 to 1100 rpm, the choke works, I removed a scad of stuff from the bike, I have 125 pounds off the chassis now. Adjusted the suspension. Changing fork oil tomorrow as the sealmate strips worked on my fork seals. I will also finish removing some other chrome tidbits. I will ride it again in the morning. I have left the top box mafia, I am keeping the fairing as it is required for comfy riding on the super slab. I actually think the lean tuning caused the slight lurch on the accel pump. I think I have it now. Starts first crank, if its 50 degrees it runs at 3000 rpm and actually slows itself down, scary..I know.... Oh its fast by the way, I know it will do the ton. or so I have heard...I would never do that...Its dialing in nicely now that I am in the right ball prk. Thanks for the help.1.75 turns out on the VCM screw, and tuned the throttle screw down from 2000 rpm to 1000 to 1100 rpm. I did find a small vacuum leak, and now she purrs like a kitten at idle, I am actually impressed. Sorry it idles better and its faster than stock. I am sure of that, I would not recommend the EMPIU one but if you can get the solex, its a viable single carb one barrrel. I need that one inch riser to put the adjustment screws right between the frame bars under the shell. I have an offset screwdriver I am using but that is one thing the builder needs to fix. [/QUOTE]
