New run issue ... Took the bike out to test the new clutch today. Works great. While doing so I noticed some hesitation upon throttling. Maybe hesitation isn't the right term. It's more like a chugging blubber. I was told from somebody behind me that when it does this the left side exhaust was dumping raw fuel out of it. ??? I didn't see it myself but take it on his word that's what he saw. Engine still idles fine and once it gets past that blubber runs like a bat out of he11. Not that I think it has anything to do with it but today's ride was the first time I've been able to give it full throttle due to the old clutch slipping.
The problem only happens when I open the throttle at low rpms. Once the rpms come up it runs great. Going from nearly idling down the street, to blubbering and then running right again all happens within a matter of a second or two. I'm assuming just long enough for the rpms to come up enough to clear out what I assume is the excess fuel that was seen.
I need to ride it again and see if it does it when holding a steady speed at low rpm or if it only does when I open the throttle.
Dumping raw fuel obviously sounds like a flooding problem. But why only when I open the throttle? Or is it loading up before that and i only notice it when i open the throttle?
Thinking back, even with the slipping clutch I never noticed it doing this till I ran it fairly hard a couple of times today. But as before I don't really think that has anything to do with my new problem.
If I find out I have yet another needle and seat that aren't closing properly, I'm gonna be all over Z1 for selling shi77y carb parts.
That and I'm already not too happy with them anyway. But that's a whole nother story.
