well.... I cleaned out the carbs and fabricated a cap for the carb linkage since I can not find one, I will need to order one soon.I think part 37 or 39 on the carb parts diagrams I have seen.. (I changed the actual cap from the right side to the left and put the fabricated on the right carb #4...just to see if there is a backfiring problem and if it follows the fabricated cap),
I then fired it up....
It ran like crap.... I could see the backfire (stayed on the left #1 carb) fire out of the carb since it is dark.... I know this is not correct.... Not sure what to do now....
More details.... I did not have the pod filters on the bike, I changed back to the #8 plugs instead of the hotter #7 plugs I got to help with the deposits....
I am going to search the forum to see if anyone has had similar experiences or to see what can cause flames to shoot out of a carb....
Any advice is greatly appreciated
