RE: Another carb change

["Earl H. " <earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich,

I don't know if you have ever tuned a motorcycle carb, but tuning 
an Eddy is the same thing. The metering rods (needles to us old timers) 
are for fine tuning mid range and low end. Having said that, you do have 
to have the correct metering rod for a jet range, which I am sure you picked

up from the book. You mentioned it stumbled at wide open throttle. At wide 
open, the needles are out of the jets, so get it running at WFO and pulling 
strong by playing with the secondary. Then start playing with the needles 
and the primaries for low end and mid range.

Keep in mind the temp range where you live. If you tune it on a 60 degree 
day with low humidity, it is going to be a bit fat in the summer. In Salt
Lake 
we get ranges from 0 to 100 degrees. I like them spot on for about 75 to 80 
degrees. Seems to be a good tune for large swings in temp and humidity for 
street driving.

Earl

I got all excited after the last message I sent so I popped down to the
garage and changed out the metering rod springs in about 3 min.. I put in
the stiffest ones, plain. If it starts good and the weather is good I'll
drive it to work tomorrow and test it out a bit. 

More later.
