Batman, many thanks for the assist. I will provide what I know. UPDATE: I fired her up yesterday and opened her up on the road. When throttle is on, she does just fine, plenty of power. The SECOND you let off the throttle, even to shift, it sounds like a fireworks grand finale. I mean the popping was beyond rediculous. The second you let off the throttle, she dies.
In answer to your question, the float pin was identical, but the float valve was fractionally smaller. I can take a pic when I get her back apart.
No, I did not see pop from the pipes, but when I took the filter off and watched while throttling, I noticed fuel igniting as the slide went up and down. Each ignition, seeming to occur at random intervals, caused the engine to lose power and try to die.
When I dismantled the carb, I could not get the whole thing apart. I got a gallon of berrymans for a dip, but since I couldn't get the whole carb apart, I did not attempt to dip it as I was afraid there could be hidden rubber washers or plastic components in there. It has been dismantled before. The damed screws were so tight that I started to strip the ones retaining the needle in the slide, so I couldn't remove that.
Additionally, I did my best to reinstall the same way I took it apart. I counted 3 complete turns when removing my main jet, but when I went to reinstall, I turned 4 times til it stopped. I don't know if this is now starving my bike but I did this because the threads were so loose that it felt as if the bike rattling during normal operation would have caused the screw to "move".
In addition, I drained the tank, removed the petcock, cleaned the filter, ran new fuel lines and installed an on-line filter. Should the flow from the petcock be alot when "on", because it looks rather "medium" if that makes sense.
I know have a much better "guide" that I have found on this site. I will remove the carb and start again. I know that is alot of info. What are your thoughts?
