I just got my bike running and it has a speed carb with the blue filter, multiple jets and the gas/fuel and idle screws which I've been tweaking, but I can't seem to get it dialed in. I can't figure out if I have too much gas or air, or if it is something else?
When I start it I need to immediately excelerate (give it gas) or it will die out. It runs relatively well above 10mph but it kind of 'sputters' a little as I slow down and then it starts to die as it drops below 10mph (sputters more then stops).
I don't know where to begin trouble shooting. Should I adjust the gas needle, the float, keep toying with the air and idle screws?
The carb sits at an angle because I have the extended 'Z intake' and I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
What should be the order I troubleshoot this?
Thanks
