Timing/rpms

I was wandering how to adjust my idle speed. Can I do this myself , or does the dealer have to.

Well i take it that its all stock ?? If it is than take the seat off then you will see 2 screws 1 one the top of each carb... to make it idle higher turn each screw clockwise the SAME amount which about a half a turn should be enough if not adjust a little more...

 

As for the dealer-NEVER take ANYTHING to them

[awdawstt]

I have a problem with the right side backfiring, and its not exausting the same as the left.

Is it all stock?

Can only be a hand full of stuff.

Did you take your carbs off recently?

1st - Go buy yourself a clymer's manual.

2nd - Make sure you carb slides are in sync. & carbs are clean.

3rd - check compression on each cyl.

4th - let us know what you find.

If you are popping like when slightly trying to rev it or at about 1/4 throttle, you may have a piece of dirt in the pilot circuit, or the air screw needs to be opened up a little more. If you open the screw 1/8 turn at a time and that doesn't take care of it, take off the carb, unscrew the air screw, take off the bowl, remove the pilot jet, and spray carb cleaner through everything and blow it all out w/air. If you have it apart this far, it's not much more work to just unscrew that main jet also and push out the needle jet and clean all at the same time. Try a new plug first, for that is so much quicker to do, and plugs don't cost much. If a plug is on it's way out the door, it can pop like that too.
