New to me bike. Correction. It's a '54.
Wouldn't start at all. Adjusted valves, timed bike (still using manual advance) went through carb and annealed the copper intake seals. I've sprayed carb cleaner and no noticeable intake leaks (well, not enough to affect it this badly)
Bike will start now and idle fine. As soon as I give it any gas, it bogs down. Let go of gas and it goes back to a nice idle.
Timing light shows flywheel mark dead center in the inspection hole with circuit breaker fully advanced.
My linkert has a #19 jet in it. I'm thinking the bike is running way too rich. I have 90 psi on both cylinders and bike soots up the plugs. And spits gas out of the carb opening when I try to rev. Runs worse when I turn on the choke so I don't think it's a lean issue.
What size jet should be in the m-18? Should it be three plugs in there? I have adjustable needles for high and low.
Been around linkerts and manual advance before (I also have a 49 Pan with a M-74B).
Any ideas? Thanks!
