Kyle-
Yeah I think I'll have to pull them off and clean them. The previous owner
didn't really take care of the bike so he doesn't know when the carbs were last
serviced. With the air box on, the bike ran but it was probably at 50% of its
potential. It was really unresponsive if you really went
To run pods you will most likely need to replace the pilot jets with the
next size up and at least two main jet sizes larger. Like I said the carb
to airbox boots can act as a velocity stack if you reuse them between the
carbs and the pods.

Robert,
Graham and Allen are right, if the carbs are clean the bike will run with

time the carbs were serviced?

Hey Kyle,
Thanks for your insight. When I bought the bike, the previous owner had already
begun modifying it to become a bobber so I decided to go ahead and try to
finish the job. In doing so, I removed the air box to get that sort of look. I
assumed that the carbs would need some tuning after
Thanks Paul,
I removed the air box because the previous owner had already started
transforming the bike into a bobber and I decided to finish the job. I haven't
tried putting the air box back on, but I think it might fix the problem. I'm
really trying to figure out what I need to do to the car
+1 the carbs are dirty and it is going to be too lean from the pods but
should still run once you get the carbs clean. Also all carb bikes are
harder to start when it gets cold, especially if the compression is a bit
low, which happens to bikes that sit for a long time. (The rings get stuck)
