New fuel thingy (On, Res., Off). The original was vacuum activated.
Sad to say Yes, I have ridden it after many changes, but not all. I wait until the engine is at 180 degrees or higher (thermal gun) before adjusting the air/fuel mixture. I do this after ever change. Then ride most of the times but I can tell by just revving under no load, it's not right. Go for a ride and still the same (I've log the response more than 25 times, then quit.)
It works marvelous riding around town, no problem, but I never go pass 1/2 throttle (I have a template I taped to the throttle so I know where it's at. IT corresponds exactly with the slide inside).
When I hit the county road and roll over 1/2 throttle (and it is almost always half throttle) I get a HUGH bog (throws you hard forward) I back off and instantly I have power, a responsive throttle unless I roll it or crack it again pass 1/2, then dead bog it will kill the motor if I keep it there. (I'm not a young buck so I'm not jumping up and down on the throttle). If I feather it around 1/2 slightly back and forth I can gain speed, but no full on.
I've ridden it during the bog and open the choke (just for grins) nothing, backfires. belches. Same response even with choke off.
Being it's mid-range, apparently I need a thinner jet needle. Not sure if it needs to be match to a particular needle jet or if I can try it with the same needle jet. I worked on car carburetors back in the day but first go around with Mikuni.
I have boo-coo hours trying to get this thing figured out. Could be beyond me OR it's a bad new carb, rare I agree, but it's still a possibility or something beyond my mechanical abilities, I choose the later.
Wife says, "Take it out behind the barn and shoot it!" I think I would sell first, at least for parts.
Thanks-
