[QUOTE="Bobv07662, post: 124135, member: 4641"] Was able to take the beast on it's first ride in New Jersey this AM...What a blast! Torque down low is very impressive, 3rd gear seems all you ever need. Seriously, thanks to you all for all the help getting the bike sorted. Now that I have a potato, potato, potato idle and no more vacuum leaks at the spigots a small issue has come up with the slide in the rear carb. Occasionally after using engine braking when coming to a stop it hangs up a tiny amount and the idle speed bumps up a bit. (100 rpm max bump) I can avoid the hanging up by coasting up to the stop or clicking the throttle closed a couple of times while slowing down. It appears the higher vacuum is pulling the slide a bit more than it is happy with. I can also tap the slide with my finger and it instantly returns to the correct lower idle speed. Before I send for a pair of new carbs, has any one seen this before or know of any certain place to inspect the slide or carb body to look for the offending interference? [/QUOTE]
