2strokesmellgud Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Not a question but a caution to noobs on here. My bike started running super rough after the reinstall of my redline promod tranny. gradually getting worse over the last few months wouldnt start without the choke and wouldnt rev out in the higher rpms only firing on 1 cylinder every now and then so i finally got the time to start checking on things checked the usual suspects new plugs ohm the wires made sure i had spark cleaned both carbs making sure slide was in correctly as well as float level was set. anyway got fed up and started pulling pipes off the motor getting ready to pull it out. when i read an old post about pickup gap. quick trip to H.freight 5 bucks later out with a guage set... My gap was .028 when .015 to .020 is normal how my bike even ran i have no clue but after 1 full turn of each screw holding the pickup on i place the .017 guage in between the coil and tightened the 2 bolts back up crossed my fingers and kicked it over crunk idled and even smoke from both pipes. So for any other noobs out there dont overlook the small stuff like i did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
