Max,
No I'm not sure about the choke adjustment. I'll need to revisit that the
next time in the garage. As soon as I thought I had the carbs tuned, I
backed the timing down to 10 degrees BTDC at 1500 RPM as the specs for the
79 call for. I then retuned the carbs. I took it out for a 5 mile spin, and
it is real "doggy". I'll check the choke mechanism first. Looking down at
the jets, the front carb's jet is significantly higher than the rear's. This
should probably not be the case since the carbs are rebuilt and shafted.
I'll check these again, too. I also found that the battery is pretty much
shot after sitting around all winter and most of the summer.
Thanks,
Monte
