No you perverts, it's not what you think.... wait, maybe it is...  ;D

I've been chasing Bad Bad Gremlin Brown (Baddest Gremlin in the whole damn town) & aparently he's invisible!

the idle/off idle bog from hell hasn't gotten any better no mater what i tried, cleaned or swapped.  so today i swapped plugs from Cafe bike (> 20 miles on them) swapped out TCI, experimented with shots of carb cleaner in the carb throats & pilot jets, disconnected the enrichers & played with them seperatly to see if i could isolate anything, nothing really made much difference.

finally i ended up throwing the 82 carbs from Cafe on the bike & blocking the return on the petcock.

that did it! my rip screamin bike is back, finally!  it's been creeping up this way since March or so.

now i've got to find out what's wron with my 83 carbs that i couldn't find the last 2 times i had them off.  probably something stupidl like reversed or loose jet.  :-[

I'll say it again , the '83 carbs were an attempt to cure a problem that didn't exist! ;D ;D ;D

[YellowJacket!]

Lucky...you have dirty carbs and need to clean them.  Not just spray carb cleaner on them either.  You need to fully disassemble them and dip them.  ;D

(Oh, you don't know how bad I waited to tell you that!!  ;D  ;D  ;D  )

lucky,

  now that the carbs are off, adjust the finnikin pin, reset the snooze rod to full recline, yammer the yinzip bolt, and add two turns to the itdonmove bolt . then change out the winter air in your tires, to reflect the summer riding season, and that should get you up and running.


if that doesnt work,, i guess you have to redo those 83 carbs .
