My bike starts up fine, second kick every time. I'll go down the road for about 15 minutes with a great idle at stops and adequate power when throttling. My oil bag temp has been hanging around 200, and I am running a super e carb with a rubber band manifold, fiber glass spacers, and early o-ring heads with aircraft grade clamps. My idle gets erratic when at operating temp, but I don't have carb sneezes under load and it seems my bike looses power under load when warmed up and sometimes on a really warm day the oil bag temp climbs to 220. I am running lucas straight 70 in the summer and before my heads were rebuilt I ran a temp 180 in the bag.
I have checked my timing to make sure it didn't slip into full retard(know one should ever go there)
My pushrods are adjusted
I have compression (when cold)
My clutch isn't slipping when warm (drew a line to check for slip)
I jetted up just in case I'm running a bit lean but I still get and erratic idle and lose of power. I can get the card close to adjustment but then the bike will randomly snap off at a stop when idling, during which the bike is troublesome to kickstart when warm. I'm wondering if my guides are shot even though they are new cause the bike acts like it is losing compression when warm, plus I'm getting a bit of oil down in the chamber as evidenced by oily plugs........What is your guy's opinion?
