hey i just got my bike going and i was wondering if putting seafoam in the tank will up the idle speed?
how long does the bike take to warm up and where does the needle normally sit if it is parked in a grage with no wind.
my idle speed kinda jumps around dont know if thats normal
last thing is i am running rich and i know that dosnt help but i dont know how to get less fuel to go through i want to lean out the mixture first before i start to worry about all the other stuff. i need to know how much i may cost to lean out the mixture as well.

thanks

 

my best advice, forget the seafoam in the tank. If youre mechanically inclined I can email you a Haynes Manual on the bike and it will tell you how to clean and synchro the carbs. If youre not, I would say all you need is to take it to a shop and get the carbs cleaned and sync'd and that should fix your fuel problem, also new plugs wouldn't hurt either if you havent done that already.

as far as the needle, if i leave my bike running in the garage it will overheat in about 10-15 minutes, as in needle burried in H range. but thats because my fan doesnt work at the moment. Now if your fan is working properly, yourneedle should stay around half on the guage.

 

i am mechanicly inclined i cleaned the carbs and i need to sync them my bike get to the top of the heat gauge not quite the H zone in about 15-20 minuts and my fan does work if you could send me the stuff to sync the carbs that would be helpful. i did already replace the plugs
thanks again for the help

 

ihad my brother listen to my bike running and he thinksit might have a miss in it somewhere or it might be a backfire how would i check for a miss and how would i sync the carb and i think i might need to lean out the fuel mixture not certian first i want to check for a miss and sync my carbs if you could tell me how
thanks again

Download that, its a haynes manual for the bike.

The miss could most definetly be carb related as each cylinder has its own carb, however a carb out of sync could cause what seems to be a miss where one is possibly letting in more or less fuel than the others.

 

that is what i thought i have the haynes manual i just dont see where it shows you haw to sync the carbs thanks again

 

its in the file 0016.gif, or chapter 1 section 14 displayed as 1.14 on the top left or right of the page.

 

hey i jsut found a new peoblem i warmed up the bike ran it in a littleand it stared running much bettertook it for about a 50 minute ride and when i stopped to get some gas i tried to start again and it wouldnt even turn the battery was so dead is this a commen problem if so how do i fix it thanks

 

i would say your charging system isnt working. should be in your manual how to solve that. stator most likely.

 

alright ill look into it and post back thanks again for all the help
