I have been reading this forum for a long time and taking in and utilizing all of the information that I possibly can, but my bike STILL wont run right.
I took it to a seasoned veteran bike mechanic and he said that he did everything he could and it ran great for a few days.
He adjusted the points, timing, (I had the head done previously), and did a lot of work to fit up my carbs the best he could...the mixture screws, someone broke off the tips in the carbs before I got it so he had to drill them and so they are not 100% proper, but he adjusted them so it worked great...but like I said, only for a couple days.
Took it out today after fixing rear tire and it started acting up...idle climbs/dies at a stop, little bit of smoke coming from crankcase breather, and popping/back for on left cylinder.
Just lost as to what to do now...I feel I had/have done everything I possibly can (and properly), but it's right f*%$ed...
Someone give me some advise or pointers please cause I really am ready to give up on this rig...
