seeing as i needed new jets i decided to pull the carbs and tinker with them a bit.
i drilled out the jets again and put the carbs back on to see if my bike was really running lean, well it was actually was running rich before, and now it was barley running at all on gas.
so i drained the gas, poured some e-85 in it, and it fired right up, after some choking.
i already had clear plastic lines and paper carb gaskets so no rubber to worrie about in the fuel system besides carb boots.
the ride was a bit scary at first, the carburators were getting exreamly cold and i thought the secondarys might freeze open (heard a story once) it would take a second for it to wind down after cracking it, but when cracked i noticed an increase in power vurses gasoline, it surges alot just putting around and makes it sound mean as hell.
if it goes well i'm going to invest in some smoothbores, a push pull throttlecable system, and a stainless steel tank tap, however i'v only driven 10 miles on the stuff and still have to make an opinion, i am carefullly monitoring the bikes vitals and such,
oh and it smells like s*** too.
