Coupelx Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 while it was torn apart this winter i did a basic clean up port on the cylinders (widened the exhaust a couple mm) i also put a timing plate at +5 on. before these 2 additions i was at 140 mains (this was verified on a dyno with a wideband to be correct). i put a 145 in there just to be safe the first time i started/rode it but it likes to bog out up top when i opened up the throttle. to big? should i try a 142.5 or go back to the 140. these are 28mm pwk carbs. other specs are: trinity head 18cc domes and 140-150 psi compression vf2 reeds kn in airbox/no lid trinity stage iv pipes Quote

If the bog gets worse then raise them all the way up. Seems like your midrange "blip" changed when you advanced the timing 5 degrees. Quote
