after a couple trouble free seasons after rebuilding the carbs, my bike has been acting up.After the rebuild I think I had my float heights off a bit. I went level with the carb bottoms at easy set tilt. Stumbled a little off idle but smoothed right out. Pretty erratic idle too Not enough to tear the bike down again. I ran it like that all season. Now I’m here,Starts right up with choke, warms up, after a few minutes I can take choke off. Runs for five minutes and dies. Won’t start back up for a couple hours. I’m thinking not enough fuel, maybe my floats were too high at 15 mm. I watched the carbs 102 video and set my float heights to 13mm. Ran for a few minutes with a hanging gas bottle switching back and forth to each fuel line and with vac line plugged off seemed to be smoking more(rich ?) gas seemed to be going down fast so I took a quick look at the oil sight glass and it looked like gas in the oil. (Floats too low?)
One more detail, I found that one of the vac caps on the #3 carb was missing. May explain erratic idle.
thanks in advance. Any suggestions will be appreciated
