When i finally got it wednesday it ran like crap.
Flooding out, #1 intake was wet and pulsed, #3 carb leaked gas onto the engine. Extreamly hard starting. Once warmed up it was even harder. You so much as think about touching the throttle and it was flooded.
It hesitated hard off idle, wouldnt idle right, fluttered, hardly pull itself under 4000rpm. #3 and 4 would cut out and not run at all. Fuel line was kinked bad.
Basically it was a piece of sh*#.
PO did tell me it had major carb issues. I knew it before i bought it it needed work. Nothing was hidden prior to purchase, i got what i expected.
I took two intakes off my 79 and the carbs, put them on.
Theyve been sitting outside for about 3 years, dont think the bike has ran since long before that. PO had removed the plugs and exhaust. I could tell the intake was open on #3 because of the dirt and rust inside #3 carb.
I didnt clean anything, just sprayed the carbs out with Zep 45 (like WD40 but better).
Installed the 79 Carbs as is. Had to use ether to get the bike to fire but once it started pulling gas it ran on its own.
Its running great now. Idles 1100rpm, pulls hard from idle to 8500rpm, jammed it hard from a stand still to 105mph and not one hesitation.
Looking up.
