People treat information as entertainment which means things like personal accusations and shock get more attention than a respectful and reasonable conversation even if we disagree. Getting you emotionally involved is exactly the formula behind social media. They regurgitate what they hear and run from complicated nuance.

So no, I dont agree with you. What i provided was a third opinion that I can personally guarantee makes allot of mistakes, just like i do. I fully expect to learn from my mistakes or chatgpt mistakes or from someone that hase wisdom and is looking for more.

when Im having a face to face discussion im teaching and learning at the same time (even in my mistakes). If someone says something that I disagree with I would ask them if I understood them correctly and what they think about what I understood. If I agree with someone I would ask them what they thought about these other concepts that I disagree with. Both people in both situations would feel like they understand more about the topic and the other person. This is how you learn from your success and mistakes. The only time it doesnt work is when the emotion is stronger than the logic. You dont need to be emotionally involved in other peoples answers. In fact, if you want to be productive on a team to solve a problem you need to separate emotion from logic.


prime example of a wisdom that is beyond the specific wisdom of afr. wookie asks if there is going to be an overheating problem from a 14.7 afr. I said I trust him more on that answer. He knows people will chime in and they do. I provide an opinion from chatgpt to refine the conversation or invite more conversation without saying it’s right or wrong. I have been right and wrong enough to know that the payoff is not in the answer itself but its in the things you learn when you are trying to become wise, like how to listen and questioning yourself and your ego. Wookie and many others have a wisdom that I want and I even got some wisdom from you. Its not personal.

I am concerned about quite a few things but allot of them will be solved when they become a problem. I think every suggestion or advice is a genuine concern. I cant resolve all of them at the same time so I work on what is interesting to me. The choke seals will probably become an issue over time but they are sealing for now.

I cant stop thinking about zeds point that the jets should be the same between carbs. it looks like one side of the stock petcock fills slower than the other. I bought a pingle to install. When the air correctors come in I will check for leaks around the needle seats and put more time into getting the fuel level in the bowl right.

You may have to open up your tank to accept the Pingel petcock. Its not a hard thing to do but obviously shit in the tank is not preferable. I found that the offset plate adapter worked best to give me carb clearance.

Not many secrets to old carb motors that are not already discussed. Cams, Bigger Carbs - Quality filters - Those Emgo Pod filters I saw in one of your photos aint it - , aftermarket exhaust - the basics. I prefer to run a coil relay mod on almost every one of my vintage bikes. Done well and you don't even need to cut into the harness its a plug and play mod and nice peace of mind knowing you will always have the best power supply to your coils possible. Ditch the china jets, the ID is often inconsistent and the bevels are sometimes not even there.

 

Yea, just got it done. what a mess to clean up. I guess I’ll know if I need an offset after the test fit. The relay mod worked out well but I had to cut the harness. The bullet connectors were already damaged from the flood. I did put marine connectors on though so im ready for a flood this year.
