  • Rough Idle

    Finally got the panels back from the paint shop, got her started and running again, lovin life. One problem, it's running kinda rough...She takes a while to warm up, as I've heard kats are very cold blooded, and the idle bounces around like 2 to 3 hundred rpm's. I'm thinking a carb sync could potentially fix this problem but i wanna get some other ideas before i start with that. Also when i drop it into first gear when she's cold it makes quite the thud, is this normal? help me out you kat-lords

    Most likely normal on the shift noise... Mine does it. As long as it's not pulling in gear, probably fine.

    Running rough?... clean and sync the carbs would be the most like response. But also make sure the basics are covered... fresh gas, clean air filter, good plugs.
