[QUOTE="westgl, post: 95413, member: 2025"] OK, I designed a master Schnitz. That's kind of a master piece o crap. My Cable Hold Bracket needs a redesign, It is close to being right just not close enough. I want that throttle to be OEM solid or better. It needs to be absolutely solid 100% of the time, the angle needs to be changed slightly. I know what needs to be done and will change it. I also took off one of the return springs off of the carb. I will be putting it back on as the throttle pull is TOO Light for me. A couple minor tweaks. After the minor fixes. when I ride the bike again, I will put it through it's paces, much more than before, i want to see more of what it is capable of. But i will wait for a cool morning, to see what she can do when it is cool out. This will also be a cold manifold test. It is usually about 65 degrees in the morning. The freezing issue may be more of a problem when temp's turn cool like below 45-50 degree's One other thing when starting the engine, Cold start or warm, NO choke is needed at all, the accelerator pump is awesome on this carb. I tried Cold starting the bike, I started the engine then Immediately tried to add in some choke, to see what it would do, when i added part choke, it started stumbling, it did NOT like any choke at all, I opened the choke, and and put my vista Cruse control on at 1500-2000 rpm, and it ran really good again, left it that way for 30- sec.s, by the end of 30sec's it was warm enough. 25 miles is not enough of a test ride [/QUOTE]
