So I.built the ld100. Long story short still had some minor head gasket seal issue. However the bike tore ass. I made the genius decision to try the factory gasket instead of the copper on and some Indian head for a tighter fit because the factory gasket although aluminum appeared better fit and quality. Leak gone.... yeehaw! But now it's seems to lack alittle power and I'm having dastardly of a time tunig. The nt carb makes it a dog the bofeng is better but it won't seem to idle well. Just looking for some ideas. It appears to want leaner on the clip but it's maxed on th bofeng. Wide open appears great but I'm not sure what to do. Have many carbs and such. NT/speed/bofeng. God damn I can't wait to just have my phantom.
 
Reference the plug burn color for tuning, and maybe give the carb a little clean.

Awesome chart thanks bud. Just picked up a phantom thinking about swapping to that for a bit. Heard food things. How's a stock phantom run?
I haven't finished my bike yet. I ran into some chain alignment stuff and then I had to help my dad remodel the basement and move across the country. Fingers crossed I get to finishing it soon. I might have some time the weekend 🤞

This will be bike 4 for my current line up. Crazy how this sneaks up on u as an addiction lol
 
Yup. An addiction. I have several bikes. Two done and two in the works plus a new motorcycle. Going to try and sell a couple to make some room.

As addictions go, not a terrible addiction to have.
My dog died, haven't had a beer in years, my tent roof is leaking, and other tragedies have struck. If you could see to part with one of those bikes or a m/c I'm sure the Lord will bless you!
