Historical Data

ok here goes. 2001 with 20k miles. cone filter, jardine exhaust, mixture screw 2 1/2 turns out, cam chain tensioner modded.  got on bike to go to work and when Im in 1rst giving it gas she acts like no gas is getting in. i have to really pull back on the throttle to get it to go. on the hwy she feels jerky like there is something blocking the fuel from completely getting to where it needs to go. even in N throttling up it spits and sputters unless i give it a lot of throttle. carb was clean, the petcock and fuel filter are debris free. I did replace bars with a set of broomsticks but cable is not in bind and the throttle moves the half circle as much as my finger will. carb bowl is full of fuel, vac line is fine (although there is a faint smell of gas in it) spark plug is light tan and free of smut.  SEROWBOT TEST was completed.

=========================

Mr. Orange's Troubles is the new title of Mr. Orange's very own permanent thread now -- you will post all your new issues inside this one thread from now on, so people will KNOW WHAT YOUR PAST TROUBLES WERE.

This will keep you from wasting folks time by your NOT telling them the background story up front and your habit of making them drag it out of you one little bit of information at a time.

When I read Oldfeller's comments pertaining to "Mr. Orange's Troubles" I had a good laugh. I thought it was good-natured fun. It seems Mr. Orange didn't share in the humor, nor did Uno-Lung. Now I don't know what to think.
