[QUOTE="danf, post: 19973, member: 2"] If this bike is the same one that you have on youtube then it sure sounds like you are sucking air in or have a vacuum leak somewhere, you can hear it in your video, you said a professional did your carbs, even the best mechanic's over look things, your mechanic engineer friend has no idea about the pressed in jets on the 81 unless his messes with them alot, but I'm sure he is totally smart at what he does, I'd remove the carbs and take off your cut off valve covers just to make certain that all the tiny o-rings are there, if one is missing your gonna have problems, sucking major air..check your slow jets, test your spark wires with a mulitmeter, make sure your ground behind the coil is clean and tight, clean up, your ground at the frame bolt that goes to the battery, check your three yellow wires plug out of the stator, make sure your voltage regulator is funtioning by testing it, but it sure sounds like a carb problem to me..I'm not trashing your friend as I know he is much smarter than I am but I like covering everything..Oh and check your dogbone fuse your main fuse, for cracks, that will make your bike run crappy,I'd change over to a blade type fuse..I'm not trying to be a know it all but you really need to cover these things if you want your bike to run correctly..
