As the screw is turned in...does it lower RPM from that cylinder? As it approaches closed position, does that cylinder continue to run? At closed, does the cylinder nearly shut down? But return the screw to 2 1/2 OR preferably the setting that achieves the highest RPM....THEN do the opposite side.
Does EACH side have the same, near approximate partial and fully shutdown results? Or radically different?
A cooling fan blowing towards the radiator/engine is a good idea....as are gloves or rags strategically placed to shield from burning your hands.
Please discuss your findings here, be careful, repeat test as necessary. |
I did the fuel mixture test as you described. The right carb seemed almost completely unaffected. The left carb was impacted by screwing it in (seemed to SLIGHTLY improve the response when it was leaned out).
At this point I think my best option is to have the carb serviced, if that doesn't clear up the issue I can then take it to a local shop to have them look over the rest of the bike, knowing the carb hasn't any flaws.
I'll PM you. Thanks for the help.
