Hey Guys
I was wondering if the big cams I put in would cause me to get lean stumble at idle when the bike is warmed up? :confused2:
Here is what is going on.
I have the A/F meter hooked up that verifies what is going on.
When the bike is cold at idle I am seeing 12.8-13:1. I could probably turn my screws in a bit and lean that out. Reason it is where it is at is I was trying to get rid of the lean stumble at idle. Doesnt matter where the screws are at the I still have a lean stumble from 1-3 turns out. I have taken them out .5 turn at a time.
Now on to the problem, when it is at NOT the bike stumbles but only at idle. You can see this on the meter as it jumps up to 17-18:1 and then pulling away from the stop light it runs like shit until it "clears up"
I know the first thing you are going to say is "Clean your pilot jets" :biglaugh:
Already done. My carbs are clean enough that Mark would lick them :eusa_dance:
Plus the A/F changes when I turn the screws back and forth.
Also dont think it is electrical because if the spark was intermittent than I would be going rich with all the fuel being dumped in and not ignited.
It is just like it takes a big gulp of air and no fuel comes along for the ride.
So I was thinking that maybe the bigger cams with more overlap would cause this to happen???:confused2::ummm::confused2::ummm:
Please help:bang head::bang head::bang head:
