Carb adjustment on Cali 1100.
« on: March 29, 2021, 09:52:45 AM »
If you bring a Cali 1100 from 6000 feet elevation to 2000 feet elevation should it need any carb adjustmenrts? I know when riding cross country you don't make adjustments for all elevation changes.

I doubt it. I guess just see how it feels or check the plugs and take it from there.

This is the only good thing I can say about fuel injection 😂

Is this CARB or fuel injected?

If fuel injected, everything SHOULD be close to automagical. If carbed, you may want to tweak the idle mixture at least. That is assuming someone tweaked it to take it UP to 6000 feet in the first place.

I have a '94 California 1100 and have set the carbs at home at 4900 feet ; never touch them anywhere else . If I stop at a 9000 foot pass , it will idle a little slower , and at sea level it will idle a little faster , but not enough to bother with making any adjustments .
