Man the Amen is sounding perfect! Low loud rumble and a slight lope to the sound, with stock cam. I'm real happy.
New items: wiring of complete bike, coils, battery, spark plugs, Houndog refurbished carbs with 130s, 1 3/8 pipes back to the stock pegs with a single 6 inch dual turn-out collector on each side with no baffles, pods, fuel filter and line, points set and ignition adjusted
Here's the problem.
When I cruise I get a pulsing surging sensation that can start as low as about 45mph and gets worse as you go faster. Changed from 125s to 130s thinking that would do it. NOPE! I tried the squeezing the legs around the pods trick at speed and it seems to do better out in the breeze rather than when I shield with my legs. The surging evens off but the performance slips as well when you crowd the pods. I checked the plugs and they are greyish white which tells me still lean! Any of you guys running 135s or bigger? I think I am still under jetted actually. Stock motor and stock cam from 1977 with 77 carbs.
When I am cruising at almost any speed and grab a bunch of throttle the motor revs up with no bog but has no muscle. Like no hp left. If I go real slow and grab a bunch of throttle it dumps for a second then starts to go but not immediately.
What do ya think?
