hey guys i just picked up this f1, it was sitting in a garage with gas in it for 6 years, the least i can say is that it needed some cleaning. anyways it has a jet kit, drilled holes in the intake case and a full kerker exhaust. i got it started and running after doing a full carb rebuild and cleaned all the fuel supply things(filter/fuel sending unit/ gas tank.

its accelerating really slow, i have each pilot screw turned out 3 times (from 2 1/2 service manual) and i cant seem to figure it out it takes it time getting to 35mph and its no (damn thats fast) bike.

i put new plugs and new oil change, any suggestions?

 

Set your fuel screws properly to start. Thats making your bike excessively rich. Even with the jet kit, the turns out on the fuel screws is still factory spec. Also, did you mess with the jet kit at all? IE change the needle clip position or main jet?

 

thanks for the reply, i figured it just needed a tune, so im gonna run it to the shop just for a sync and tune. which is good because i need to send my tank to a radiator play to get refinished! picks soon.
