Hey Katriders,
She's been running a bit rough for two days now, thought it might have been bad gas but i've passed through 2 tanks no with no luck.
Carbs were cleaned late October/Early November -- Stock jetting, all wires snipped back on the coils a bit to get fresh connections. Cranks fast, voltage is at the coils and battery holds a charge well between running. Carbs were sync'd and she was running perfecto in the cold weather we were having.
As of the last three days she doesn't seem to want to idle smooth, and particularly not smooth enough for my comfort at stock idle speed. She takes about 4 or 5 seconds to fire up now, needs choke and can be backed off after a bit. Once she's warm aside from the idle issue where it's jumping around about 400rpm at times she'll rev clean and smooth to near red-line. Can take off from a red light fine, but the idle issue has caused it to die on me at a light once.
Is it possible something got in my pilot circuit, perhaps a vacuum leak got induced somehow? (she hasn't sat more than overnight) Changing weather affected the carbs? Just looking for some insight or similar experiences before I get back from college Friday and being looking it over.
