makes me think more about the accel pump! why did it come back now with the fuel off? great squirt, i thought the thing was dead. did i unblock a vaccuum by mistake? will it still work with bike on?
upon testing, reconnected the fuel lines, turned the bike on, great.
throttle got the accel pump nozzle to barely drip, so little that instead of the fuel falling in a line straight into the carb like when the bike is off, it dribbled on the nozzle (no pressure) and crawled down on the wall. stopped me from maintaining a steady idle between .5 and 1.2 k rpm. killed the bike, turned the throttle, and i got a full squirt again.
so this accelerator pump is working great when bike is off. then shitty when it comes back on. someone? idea?
i had loosened the throttle cable on my way to uninstalling, and thats where i am stopped. thats when i noticed the accel jet coming with a full squirt for the first time while bike is off.
i had heard someone mention bending something down that side by hand, like the wheel or something, to get the bike to respond faster. ill try to find that reference. so maybe me tinkering with the throttle cables also has something to do with the revival. maybe moving the vacuum cable around on the left and right(with the bendable thang) maybe the seafoam and carb cleaner
while the bike was running i covered each of the carb by hand, and the bike stuttered and died instantly on the left. 2 more seconds on the right. i noticed the vacuum on the left was a lot more present in comparison with the right carb, which was very weak. i guess this is a leak i developed by undoing the right manifold screw too much and rocked the carb a bit. makes sense? so maybe if i push it back in it will become better. tried pushing back. no. i noticed on the right when i put my hand to block the air, it will rev up a bit. i saw a reference to this somewhere. running too rich or too lean. can never really fully retain that stuff. wait a sec. it was actually a leak test, the dude was saying in order to test if there is a leak down there, run the bike and spray something (cant retain specifics lol) and if there is a leak the bike will rev. how does that connect? in the next day or two a friend is passing by, he has more experience than i do. I am excited about this bike

i bet you all know the feeling
i narrowed it down quite a bit. someone can maybe now hit the nail on the head!
keep tinkerin. 2 days ago i had no idea what i was getting myself into. such a noob at heart. I must thank all of you for maintaining this and other communities such as this active and available to the public. now i am still a noob, but i have experience aka i tried to do something and **** up and also fixed something by mistake. need to know why. how!
