Dellorto Phf 36’s don’t want to start without choke

(1/5) > >>

So I’m going through my 94 1100 california and cleaned the tank  and carbs and modified the idle screws to the shorter .100 length

It seems since I did that the bike does not like to start without a little choke.  But the choke will easily foul the plugs. I’ve returned the carbs to the lean factory parts minus the 57 pilots I bought. As is running right now pretty darn good. I’m fighting popping out the exhaust this whole time.  I read somewhere a “dry” k&n filter can do that.  Just oiled it and it made a HUGe improvement.  That comment is true. Oil your KN’s!!

Now, I’m wondering should I buy some new full length idle mix screws.. cheap enough to try.  I never had starting issues till I did those mix screw mods. The screws are working and are very sensitive! So that’s good.  Also side question I wonder about putting in the Bosch platinum Pat Hayes spark plugs in this thing.  Wonder if they would stay cleaner.  If MSD made a 6A box for bikes I would buy it and fix all these issues!!! Thanks!

And I don’t find any vacuum leaks, and my slides are 60/1’s and they are almost fully seated.  I’m trying to keep them as low as possible to let the idle circuit work more if that makes sense?

Friendly suggestion

Bring bike or send carbs to a confident mechanic...preferab ly one familiar with Guzzi's

I understand your logic with slides, but I would raise them. How’s ignition curve?

I’m not familiar with Cali 1100s. Points?

It’s digiplex 2s.  Which I’m not familiar with. Seems to be running quite well right now.  I’m on the right track. I think I’m going to order some 60 pilots to try
