New to the site, love the information on here, Awesome.
I have question about my cycle. It has 19,000 miles and has been setting for a couple years. This summer I had the carbs rebuilt by a guy in Califorina that a friend with a VMax recommended. I just went through and adjusted all the valve clearances after I read a post on this site. All are at .005 or close to it.
The problem I’m having is when I am cruising at 4k to 5k rpm there is a sputtering or miss in the engine. It does it in 3rd 4th or 5th gear.
I synced the carbs after the rebuild and so far nothing has made a difference. I was wondering if fuel mixture could be the problem. Other than that it runs like a striped ape. If I accelerate past 4 to 5k it’s fine. Only does it when I try to hold it at that RPM or higher.
I know someone here has an answer, PLEASE!
Thanks for the wealth of info.
