Post 41: A Rough Running Bobber

  Removing the mufflers,the air filter and air box under the tank really changed the mix, and made the bike run extremely lean. It cranked up fine, but it was really hard to keep it running even on full choke(I had to keep toggling the throttle till it warmed up). Then it ran, but only with some choke, and very rough. I barely made it to Lander's shop, and he is now re adjusting the carburetors. But he had to put the air box and air filter back on.
  Bummer, I was dreaming of two velocity stacks sticking up through the top of the new tank...
  When I get it back, I will start making a cardboard mockup of the "Non Skid Tank".
