Been playin with my carbs, tryin to get my idle problem solved. Don't know if that's where my problem is now...My floats are set at 14mm, kept jet size at 115 out, 112.5 in since all I'm adding is a yoshi RS-3 and have a 5 degree ignition advancer, needle position at 2nd from top and A/F screws at 2.75 turns out.
Started it up today thinkin it would run fine today since I finished my adjustments last night. Had a problem warming up, as usual, runs kinda rough around 1k at idle, so I took it around the block once to warm it up. Gave a slight adjustment to the idle screw to get it up to 1200k at idle, seemed fine, bounced around maybe only 100 or 200 rpms. Decided to take it to a straight away around the corner and see how it did wide open. Hauled *** down the straight, got to the end, pulled into a church and the bike just died. Had a buddy come up and give me a jump since my battery needs a tend. It wouldn't start up again even with a car battery on it, ended up gettin towed home (embarassing).
So pretty much what I'm asking is, with the symptoms I've explained, is there anything that strikes you real gearheads that may be the problem? I'm pretty close to fed-up but don't feel like being charged a rediculous price/hour for something I could have done myself. Any suggestions would be great and will be attempted, thanks guys.
