Check the temperature at the exhaust headers. Cool pipes are richer than hot pipes, with the middle two generally running slightly hotter than the outer on an inline 4.

Yup

Bought it to check the headers to see if I have tomfoolery going on.
If one cylinder no-makee the bang bang...will know which one to hack at.


added to some more to the collection of tool thingies today
craftsman impact screwdriver, screw extractors and a new garden hose nozzle.
Also picked up some more M4 2.5 hex screws to replace the remainder of the floatbowl screws.


By the time I'm done with this bike, it will be in better shape than when I bought it a decade ago.

Note to self - next time I need to wrench on my bike, I'm coming to your place.

Gee, all that I got was a compound mitre saw, saw table, router, and a load of cedar planking.

Testing throttle response as it warms up. Response is a bit on the lazy side.

Yeah the response isn't great... but is that normal for those carbs?

Not on the 11 I've ridden. Sounds rough at Idle. Like my CBR did when it was running on 3. (Minus the hissing from the burned valve of course )
