It's an R60/6 with /5 carbs, I have owned her for two days now. First airhead.
I went to the parkinglot to start her up. She was backfiring alot and as yesterday it was hard to get her going. I am getting fire out of the LHS pipe. With alot of backfiring I reached my garage. Pulled the plugs LHS (Blue header, fire, struggling side) was black. RHS was whiter/greyish. Gap was a tad over a nails thickness. So OK.
Mixturescrews a set different, I guess this is down to them being in sync. Well, hopefully in sync.
LHS
RHS
Pulled the carburettors(/5 carbs), nothing to see, floatbowl chambers were clean. A bit "gunk" between the brass insert and the carburettor body, nothing that would harm anything. Cleaned it out, blew out all jets. No change.
Pulled generatorcover, pinched wire. Thought that could have an effect, so I made sure it wouldn't touch metal to short out. No change.
Started her up and had my hand on the throttle, applying a little pressure, it was bogging and struggling. Removed my hand and it putted along nicely, albeit some hesitations from the LHS side again. Put both my hands behind the pipes to feel the pressure. LHS as struggling, RHS side was even and felt as should be. Switched the plugs around, both sides even now, might have been because the engine got a bit warmer, don't know.
I put it all back together and headed home, it was "surging", by that I mean that it would sometimes pull stronger some of the way up through the rev range. Got home, listened to the valve train. LHS side SEEMS louder than the RHS side.
So next up is that I want to confirm a correct timing and then set the valves. And also try to switch around the HT leads.
