I need to take the carbs off the rack because I do not have the correct lines between the 2 sets of carbs.... I think it is a vac line, kind of a short fitting between the carbs, it is not on the same level as where the fuel line goes into the carbs, it is above and there are only 2. When i got the bike it would not run, after a few weeks of trying to get the bike started I noticed the lines were not there so I took 2 small sections of fuel line, cut them and wrapped them around each opening and sealed each one with a clamp... the bike fired right up after that... I am guessing that these are not air tight. The only way to get a proper line over the opening is to take the outside carbs off the rack, the opening is too small to squeaze a line in.....
Sorry for the long explanation.....
Could my timing be that far off in such a short period? the bike actually ran pretty good a week ago aside from the plugs getting deposits.... then it began to backfire badly and I noticed the cap was gone... I ran it for about 30 miles like this though because it would eventually get better but not great... I don't know if the cap was gone before it started to backfire or not, I am assuming the cap being gone was causing the backfire..????
I have limited tools and ability to check timing, so I would rather stick with the vac issue for now...unless I am completely wrong on this, which is very possible. i just know that the timing seamed to be good 1 week ago....
When i took the hotter plugs out I noticed they were white on the center and black around the sides, up until then they would always be black, except #4 would look better than the others... I assumed they were white this time because of the increased air with the cap being gone..is it possible that the lack of power at the coils before the coil mod offsett a lean mixture causing the bike to run OK or am I way off???
Would a jet adjustment at the clip or going to 110 help?
Maybe I should throw in the towel and take it to a shop
