I am banging my head a bit on the wall, I am not sure what I did to mess up. Long story short, I tore down my 2000 Kat 750 to change out fork fuels, random maintenance etc...
Part of what I did consisted of doing the coil relay mod, which gained +1 volt. I also readjusted the valves. The adjustments are correct, I did verify. The problem I am having though, is now it sounds terrible. It does not sound like it is running properly at all, and I am not sure where I went wrong. I attached videos, however keep in mind, that they are also running with choke, as that is the only way it stays running. Even when I adjusted the idle knob. I did do a bench sync before I placed back on the bike. My intention was to sync the carbs, but not with it running like this. Why is it bouncing around so much on the idle? Carbs were tore down a few months ago, soaked etc... I thought about tearing them down again and re-cleaning, but I wanted to get some thoughts first.
Plugs are newer. Throttle cables are fine. The only thing that I noticed, was last night the airbox was flooded with fuel. Not sure how this happened. Which reminds me, I also did electrolysis on the tank to get rid of rust.
Could not get it to flood again today. Last night I had a realization that I had forgotten to put a plug wire (#1) on. So I was not firing all cylinders. They are all firing now. This is getting a bit frustrating. I know its a long read, and thank you for reading it.
This is with the coil relay mod
This is when I returned to stock wiring
and various pics that probably won't help either.
