I have a CV carb that I rejetted and the bike is running better then it has since I've owned it. I have just replaced the stock exhaust with a Rinehart 2into1.
What, other then maybe a choke issue, would cause the idle speed to run high and then go down to normal idle?
When I got off of the freeway and stopped at the first light, the idle was at around 1400rpm, I pushed on the choke which seemed to be all the way in, and after a few seconds it went down to 1000rpm. Then at the next light it happened again. I blipped the throttle a couple of times and it went back down.
It didn't do it on the way into work that I noticed.
First real ride since I rejetted.
No motor work done. Stock 80", ev13 cam, ness bigsucker air box, and the 2into1's.
Any suggestions? Thanx in advance,
points ignition?
What is that, Dyna S dual fire with weights.
Idle mixture is too lean. Turn out the slow jet screw until it returns to idle immediately after you blip the throttle.
If turning the screw doesn't give you results, install the next bigger slow jet.
Thank you. Right now the jets are 48/180. I will check that out.
A 48 seems a little large for an 80" motor. I don't think I'd go any larger, and would actually go with a 45 or 46. For reference, I run a 46 on a 95" with a cv44 carb.
Check for vacuum leaks first.
I had that with an Intake leak once also...
An intake leak may also cause false readings resulting in an overly large jet to overcome a lean condition.
I've been running 48/175 jets on 2 stock early evos and an '81 shovel for years. I get ~42 mpg and all 3 start within 2 kicks when cold.
Before you start chasing vacuum leaks, open your slow jet 1/2 turn at a time and see if that makes a difference.
When is the last time you had the intake manifold off the heads? Those intake seals are notorious for getting brittle with age/heat and cracking.

It's only been a few months. I picked up the thicker blue seals. I have sprayed the manifold with carb cleaner and my idle doesn't change one iota. So I know I do not have a leak.
I will make little adjustments to the air mixture screw. If need be, I'll put the 45 back in.
That reminds me, I ordered new air mixture screw packing from CV Performance weeks ago. I haven't heard anything back from them
Advance mechanism is borked and slow to return to idle.
(broken spring?)(or worse)

On Older stuff...that used a mechanical Advance Mechanism... my go-to as well... But...OP says Stock 80 inch Evo... stock is Cup Pickup!!

Check/lube the weight springs.

Apologies Burnout... You nailed it... I only read "Stock" and was silly enough to Assume we were talking about Stock.
My most NOT favorite ignition!
This failure was in part caused by a Dyna S ignition.

Damn Shame... But... I have had Much very good luck with the Dyna-S
Street bikes and On the Strip... on the strip we disable the Mechanical advance... locked down at full advance...turn ignition On after engine Spinning... Sorry you had problems... Looks like a Timing or...RPM problem... the Dyna-S as you know, does Not control RPM!!!

I have a 170 and a 180. I should pick up a 175 and give it a try. pretty easy since I don't pull the carb.

I will definitely take a look.

Can I ask, how did the ignition cause that? What happened?
I ran the same iggy on my shovelhead for years and never had a problem.
What iggy do you prefer?
It was a single fire Dyna S, that unit has two sensors one for the front and one for the rear. The rear one failed, it went un-noticed as there were multiple problems. Got the other problems fixed and took it out for a test blast, and the random sparks nuked the rear piston.

Someone didn't notice it was "One Lunging"
It ran fairly decent, started well, like I said there were other problems that masked the problem with the ignition.
The other problems got fixed and he was enjoying the power improvement, when it belched out a significant fireball. :bike:

still was wondering which iggy you prefer. If I were to change mine, it would need to be in the cone as I removed the EFI harness. Not that Im going to now, but ya never know.
Piston top is frosted. Detonation and or a major air leak. :banghead:
