Hi Pete,

I have K&N's and did not change the jets. She seems to run ok with the plugs
tan coloured.

If your plugs are black be sure that the bike is fully warmed up and that
you have run the bike on the highway a while before making the assessment.
Also be sure that the choke cable is slack when the choke is "off".

Regards...Ian

 This reminds me
Is rejetting needed after putting on K&N air filters?
I did that and synchronized carbs
seems to run OK but I have only taken a few short test runs as the bike is
not registered.
Plug residue is black
Is it too rich?

Hi Rick,

Oh Yeah...I forgot there are some people out there that aren't snowed in
and can still ride :-)

I had a similar problem with my bike. After cleaning the carbs the right
cylinder started to backfire unless the choke was on. I finally gave in
and tore the carb apart. Found a little piece of fluff in the jet. One
quick blow and the bike has run perfectly since.

Backfiring is a sign of lean mixture. Likely a jet is blocked.

Let me know how you make out.

Ian

Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody ever encountered a back firing problem
and if so what you did to fix it. The symptoms are with the choke on it
runs and idles well, once the choke is off it starts backfiring out the
right side, I have been working on the Carbs. Just started doing this
all
 
 of a sudden. Maybe it isn't warm enough?

Thanks,
Rick
