And it begins. I'm sure there are posts about this... but
I've reset the 3 carb adjust screws to factory spec and tweaked the idle and mixture. Accel pump screw too I think. It's like 2 turns out from seated, not sure where the right spot is on that one. Snapping the throttle seems fine like 2 turns out all the way to like 4 to 5 turns out. I'm not super familiar with an accel pump. Or a carb at all for that matter
Open the throttle to accelerate (pretty much 3rd to 6.. mostly noticeable 4 to 6, and 6 on the highway to pass for sure) it misses (bogs) for a split second then takes off like an afterburner. Once passed that miss, it accelerates really well.
But when you go to pass and that first handfull is nothing for a second, it's not a comfy feeling on the highway.
Off throttle, getting a loud snap backfire... only one... maybe 2... sounds like an AR-15.
Seems lean with the backfire and all, but the mixture screw is 1 turn left of the ideal center between lean and rich.
New plugs, fresh 91 non-ethanol gas, cleaned and oiled air filter.
