Re: Dizzy problems



Jonathan: So it misfires at low revs under acceleration load, but not at 
idle, right? Just for kicks try shifting sooner in second gear and see 
if it won't misfire then, too, but: 

=> carbs? Unknown. Still haven't synchronized them.

Aha! Replace and adjust points & con, do your timing, sync the carbs and 
*then* see how it performs. I'll bet your misfiring problem evaporates. 
Out-of-sync duals can cause a pile of weird power problems.

=> Air-control stuff? What is that? :)

A checklist for those who aren't sure: 
* Airflow through body intake is unrestricted.
* Preheat pipe is installed from #1 heat exchanger to intake mixer box.
* Mixer box flap opens and closes easily (the weighted lever).
* Air cleaner is clean, tight and filled to the line.
* Carb/air-cleaner gaskets are clean and seat well.
* Electric chokes are functioning and adjusted properly.

=> Perhaps an 009 might be called for.

I like mine a lot.
