Today started out going very smoothly. I finally had time and weather was nice so I could finally finish up (or so I thought).
After reinstalling the radiator, I started up the bike and to my great joy, it started on the first press of the starter button.
I let it warm and after pushing the choke back, I synced the carbs with the carbtune pro. It really paid of prsyncing it with the ball bearings, as it went pretty fast and easy but it also showed that syncing with ball bearing alone is not enough.
The engine sounded better and smoother than it ever has. Thanks so much for the help, Mike!
After putting everything else back together (and doing some other stuff in the house), I pushed it out of my yard and wanted to take it for a quick test drive. It started right up but after going only a few meters the engine suddenly revved up really high with out me pulling the throttle. I switched off the bike and after restarting the engine revved right back up.
I looked under the carbs and it was pretty heavily dripping from carb #2.
Going to take out the carbs in a few minutes...
The gaskets for the carb bowls (and most other gaskets and o-rings) were brand new and the carb properly closed. From where could the dripping have come?
I'm guessing it's some connected with the float but it I set it to 14mm and checked repeatedly.
Hopefully, I will find an obvious reason when taking it apart...
