I synced the carbs with carb sticks and set the timing with a stobe light this fall.
Please don't install a pair of Japanese mikunis on that thing!
I think you mean the Chinese copies of the Japanese knock-offs of the British Amal carbs
I have a pair of rebuilt VHB 29 carbs on my Eldorado 850 and have cleaned them in an ultrasonic cleaner and fitted all new internals including replacing the slides. The bike was set up on a dyno and jetted to suit. The bike runs pretty good at sustained speed but it does not like to run in stop and go in the city. Once warmed up when coming to a stop at a light in neutral the rpm will rise from just over 1000 rpm to over 2500 rpm. I have to hold in the clutch and shift into 1st and slightly release the clutch to load up the engine to bring the rpm down. I enjoy riding the Eldorado but have gotten tired of the VHB's not working as I would expect.I am thinking the VHB's are perhaps just too tired out?? I have a pair of PHF 30's that came off a 850T that have been rebuilt and I found a pair of Mikuni carbs at a swap meet today that came of a 850 Norton Commando. Looking for advice on a suitable replacement that will hopefully give good performance and a smooth and consistent idle.ThanksJim
It seems to me that whomever did the Super Duper Dyno tune on your Eldo may well be the culprit here. If all the basics are not correct before hand I don't understand how in the %$#$#% you can Dyno tune anything. If the bike is not running properly then all tuning efforts are moot. Find the cause of the problem first, get the bike running and idling correctly before trying any final tuning. Basics first.Just My 2 cents
I know I am just a hack with a set of tools ....
They swapped out jets, played with the idle and mixture and pronounced it perfect.
I certainly hope you put the 'right' ones back in?
