Not getting enough fuel to one cylinder at idle. Did all the normal tricks:
* checked idle jet (clean) * ran idle mixture screw in and out * removed idle jet and mixture screw and blew out * removed idle jet and "plugged the hole" with finger (this should give me a *very* rich mixture, only got down to 15:1 or so) So, it's time to pull the carb. I suspect something is blocking the mixture screw area... Of course I have a race this weekend. Sigh. |

OK. Popped the carb off and R&R'ed the idle mixture screw and it's bits and pieces, verified my plugs (damn... they look good! Light brown! A testament to an LM-1), and put it all back together. Re-sync'ed the carbs and it ran great in the driveway. As soon as I pulled away it was stumbling all over the place.
FML So, I need to verify my fuel pressure (CB's rotary pump) and then if that checks out it's down to a full rebuild of the carbs. |
