Been a while since I posted, figured I'd give you fellas a break from my billion and three questions.
So I fire up my bike last week and I've got a few "irregularities."
Bike doesn't want to keep running at idle with the fuel switch at regular, but seems OK (or at least better) at the reserve setting.
Bike putters and stutters until she stalls between 3rd and 4th gear (or between 30 an 40 mph) with fuel switch at either position.
It feels like fuel is getting into the carbs, but not THROUGH them. When I throttle up she want to boogie, but she stutters and dies out if she doesn't backfire and catch up to the throttle position
I ran some Seafoam through it today and saw SOME improvement, but she's still not roadworthy.
I'm not great with doing the wrenching myself, and I'm honestly a little timid about taking the carbs apart AND I don't really have a guy around here (St. Louis) I can get to do it. Can you fellas diagnose a problem(s) from these symptoms? And, is there any way to take care of it without doing any real delicate work?
After the winter we just had, I'm dying to lose the cage. Thanks guys.
