[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 135351, member: 38"] Two things to look at. I had one that did exactly that. the new ATD gear was right on the Pitch dia but was about .030 oversize on the OD of the teeth. the ends of the teeth were all shiny where they had bottomed in the teeth of the breather gear (twin). In the lathe and the OD reduced. problem solved! Next make sure that the whole ATD is not going too far on the mag shaft and the press on retainer is all the way on, and nothing is touching the housing causing it to drag. As for the carbs, I had a new slide that did not have the recess for the throttle cable nipple to seat in. I tokk that thing apart about 5 time before I looked up inside the slide and concluded that he nipple was hitting the top of the jet block and no matter how far I slacked of the throttle stop screw it would not idle down on the front cylinder.
