V7Goose Posted July 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2012 I am sorry to hear that you are having those problems - the dealer you referenced in your post is not only incompetent, but an absolute fool to boot! The types of problems you mention are generally fairly easy to diagnose and fix for anyone with the appropriate knowledge and skills (and proper tools, of course). But they can be a real bugger for the average joe, and remote diagnostics can be a hair-pulling experience for both parties. I hope you can find a competent person locally to help you fix it...

Cougar Posted July 13, 2012 Share #8 Posted July 13, 2012 Take the air cleaners apart and see if there is anything in or around the pods as well. Make sure you have clean air filters, There could be something in there obstructing air flow, Don't ask me why ! Also, let me know if or when you decide sell the old carbs. Good Luck Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamer Posted July 14, 2012 Share #10 Posted July 14, 2012 Did you have them run a compression test? Maybe a weak cylinder. Also check the hoses and rubber caps just below the carbs for vacuum leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOO Posted July 14, 2012 Share #13 Posted July 14, 2012 Sorry to hear you are still having trouble with your bike and I might add I'm not a big fan and just buying parts and replacing things without knowing if they are bad or not. I'm going to also give you another observation, 2 or 3 years ago when I met you in Asheville and you were having troubles with your bike I didn't think it was really running right after the work was done on it at the meet. After the Carb sync you got it didn't seem to me like the bike was idling like it should but it was better than when you came there. Also it seemed like the guys had a hard time syncing the Carbs. I don't know what all this means but like I said it is just an observation. Good luck with the bike, BOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyRich Posted July 14, 2012 Share #17 Posted July 14, 2012 Check the air cleaners and the plumbing. If you have any flow restrictions she will not run right in the higher gears. You'll notice it in second at mid to high rpm. It seems to bog down and you can't seem to find it. Even if one side has a small blockage it will affect the way it runs a lot.

bkuhr Posted July 14, 2012 Share #19 Posted July 14, 2012 Its a long shot, but sounds like every thing else has been done, so I will throw it out there for consideration. Has there been any work done to the heads or valves where maybe a cam chain is off by 1 link? (out of valve timing) Could also be a problem with a cam chain adjuster or guide allowing slack in a cam chain. It may be time to pull valve covers and timing inspection cap, and just verify the cams line up at crank TDC, especially the rear cam with problems of cyl #4.
