If the only change you made other than the carbs was to cut down the air filter, you could be running rich. When you cut down the air filter, you decreased the amount of air it could pull at wide open throttle.
75 v 82 cams

agree..... air flow control is no different than gas jetting or air jetting in carb
Looking at the original question: it looks like the measurements are of the total height of the cam, which look pretty close from '75 to '82. But to measure lift you have to subtract the diameter of the base circle of the cam. Maybe the base circle of the '75 is smaller. :doh:[url=https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=132845#p132845:1mdz47o7 said:

I do apologize for the delay fella's, but it would appear that there is more to life than my Goldwing, namely, earning a living, grown up kids with the usual problems, having my backyard broke into and my generator stolen and staying in the house due to wicked cold weather, (I ain't as hardy as I was when I lived in blighty all those years ago!)
But a month or so ago I had a very good conversation over the phone with an extremely good friend of ours, that opened my eyes to a lot of things, I also gained an overview of where I may have messed up completely, but all is not lost, I shall, this weekend, be taking all of his advice under advisement and working on it with his thoughts at my back, thanks to all of the above being quelled for now.
I now have everything in place to continue working on the old girl, thanks for your patience, especially to our special friend. :builder:

My Weber had #50 primary low speed jet and a #60 secondary low speed. I had a big time bog on mine so I swapped the #60 jet into the primary and the bog went away. Take a look at the jets you have and maybe you can do the same.

I believe, or at least hope, I have the answer to my bogging down issue.
When my auto choke was removed the operating hole was filled in with silicone.
Whilst removing said carburetor today, the silicone plug fell out into my hand, hey, how about that, who'd a thought it.
Of course I plugged it back off much more effectively, will rebuild with new gaskets and such and let y'all know.
And this guy here is now a C5 owner, just waiting on contact and delivery from supplier.

I have a 160 primary jet and a 220 secondary jet, my carb is a 32/32 DFT. I can't find parts for any of it on any search engine I've found. maybe you can help!

thats great chilli .... stay on that carb .. in my opinion it is just a tad big ...but with your early cams in your 1100 it should handle it ...and for sure shouldnt loose out at high rpm at all ...but you got to get the low and mid going good for that to matter... so dialing this carb in is a must and at the top of things to do ... more so than like a dft weber needs..... carb i have is 24-25dft fixed air chokes my carb like yours is 26-27 fixed air chokes ..in my opinion thats a lot of air .. something to keep in mind ...the dft webers most are using is 22-22 air ...
if you need more choke on your carb in the primary barrel ..i have found that some pvc connectors put in the top of carb can change the air flow .. length of the connector is like velocity stack and speeds the air...allowing carb to get the velocity to make good gas charge... not saying it needs that ..caveman main barrel air getting ...i ended up not needing them but i can sure tell you it works to change air on fixed choke carbs ...no messing with carb either out side the carb mod....
it will be interesting how good this carb can get ...ive got two builds myself going for me and this carb will be on one....
welcome to the c5 club
k: ...well didnt see that post above congrats maybe your getting close already :clapping:

All this information, I only found out today, so it's what I have to work with!!

Those numbers are for the primary and secondary air jets. When you look down at the carb you will see 4 jet holders; the 2 middle ones are for the primary and secondary main jets and the 2 outside ones hold the low speed jets. If you unscrew the jet holders you will find the jets on the ends of the holders.
I ordered a low speed jet from these guys several months ago.

If you unscrew the jet holders for the primary and secondary low speed jets and one is a 50 and the other at 60 then you can just swap jet holders and all and see if it makes any difference to how it runs.
Here is part of an exploded view of your carb. You see that #19 is the idle jet holder and #20 is the idle jet...(what I call "low speed" jets in my previous post).
brian his carb is not a dft weber .... its a 32-36weber ...and has different jetting set up ...
