Seriously, you're doing that thing I told you that you do. If you want to sell your stuff, make a classified listing or submit for the Chop Market, but stop hijacking people's threads. That shit is starting to get annoying.
Went and got some tags today and put bike in my name!!!!!! took off front brake, fixed clutch issue i think, now... my kick stand is being a bitch doesnt wanna stay in, still need new tires front and back... and still need to get the carbs cleaned tunes synced etc.... then maybe ill take this thing to work every day!!!!!
I posted on the other one post you did about the spitting and popping, do you know what size jets you have in your carbs? I see that you have round tops, which is the better choice, also, your pipes are they straight open, or baffled? this would really make a difference in whether you are running to lean or not, and are the points the old points the bike came with? if so, either replace them, or snad them smooth, this takes some experience to do, I always start out with 600 and work ,my way up to 2000 grit sand paper, use the black type of sand paper, and do it dry, and remove all of the grit you may have left behind, and when you set your points, set them according to a match book cober, a lot of people will claim that does not work, well, maybe they did not sand there points smooth enough, the best way is to replace the points, but do not throw the old ones away, sand them till you get the smoothness you need, you want it to look like a chrome plated surface, and when you get to 2000 grit sand paper, it will be right there, as long as you did it correctly, and patiently,
