hey chris and zippy (and eveyrone else who assisted)...
just finished converting the ciao from a cingle speed to a variable speed! the process was fairly painless.. )
it has all the low end ever hoped for now... pulls almost as well as the grande. not quite as well.. but pretty good. definitely good enough.
however.. after running for a little while.. it kinda died out. however still idled fine. when i give it full throttle, it sputters.. like its "missing"... THEN, if i left the rear end almost all the way up (until the bike was near vertical).. it picks up again.. ?? checked the plug and it was pretty black.
i am running a proma circuit exhaust (big expansion exhaust), dellorto 13/13 carb, and malossi performance airbox.
does this sound like the float is sticking? im pretty sure thats what it is.. ill give the carb a good cleaning maybe tonight. im running late for a dinner appointment.
thanks again everyone! emily is going to be sooo happy.
