Re: How do I know if I am running lean ?
It may be that the carbs were ever so slightly advanced before. Now the sync & link is correct. If the motor was lean at an idle it'd be running funny and / or running faster slightly. <br /><br />With the airbox cover off -- and NEVER NEVER run it under a load with the cover off, NEVER -- at idle stick a tooth pick in the idle jet (lower of the 2 air bleeds). If that cylinder starts to bog right away its OK. If it should pick up slightly then bog its lean.
