I hope someone can help with some answers here?
I bought another 78 XS1100E a moth ago, a real keeper.
The engine, and everything else, was removed for powder coating the frame.
he said it ran fine before this.
What was left to do was hook the wiring up , a few minor things and try it.
the carbs were crap.
I took a set off my parts bike that i new ran good.
Ok, i cranked it up again and it souned fine.
Good idle, good throttle response.
I was ready to try this thing, well no front brakes assembled yet, but who can wait?
I rode it around the barn yard , still ok.
Out ao the road it sounded good as i took off in first gear.
I hit second and opened it up.
all i got was alot of missing.
Third was ok until i opened it up again.
It seems alright till it gets a few rpm"s and under load it starts to miss.
it was only 28 degress. so I parked it in the shop trying to warm up.
It won't get the best of me!.
while i sat there shivering, it seems to me , maybe sark or timing.
It runs so good without a load.
Any advice or question would bee greatly appreciated.
I've waited many years to get another 1100 and , well, i won't to RIDE the damn thing.
