What would cause this?

[shovelhead]

I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is a problem or not & if so where to start looking?

 

When I start up my shee , it fires off on first kick, but only runs on one cylinder until I rev it up a few times? Is this natural when using the choke? or what?

 

 

also I just install new Toomey T5's, & carb kit & also Vforce reeds, & dyna ign in last several weeks. . I noticed a real tinny

tapping kind of sound primarily on right side in the exhaust ?

 

Just don't know enough about it yet, trying to dial everything in..

What jets did you go with? and did you Sync the carbs. The tapping could be from runnig lean, Is is on the same cyl as the one that delays to start

Mine does this sometimes when it is really cold. Once it warms up it is fine though. Does it do it everytime or just cold? Could be a slightly clogged pilot or something.

Yes, it is on same side as delayed .. I have 280 main & Needle in 4th pos. ( as Toomey stated in the kit)

 

Carbs are sync'd

 

I did re-adj carbs just now to 1.5 turns out sounded better? I originally had stuck float in carbs, could this still be what was happening today? Perhaps revving cause it to free itself? Just asking..

Also check to make sure the little tube that joins the two carbs is in place and tight. That is what is supposed to richen the carb that doesn't have the choke on it.
