New float system for BING carbs

[Justin B.]

Holding the throttle open really doesn't accomplish anything unless the slides are lifted at the same time, then you have whatever you block the slides up with disturbing airflow...  Best to just pop the carbs off and be done with it.

If we are going to head into a compression test discussion I will split the thread...

There is plenty of air getting to the cylinders to run a compression test even with the throttle closed. The gage was bad, the check valve is broken . The valves and rings are good with the results of the leak down test (10% at 90 PSI). So the the compression test would have been good. I'll do the compression test when the MATCO truck comes back Tuesday just to see the numbers, and my own piece of mind.

OK, whatever...

Well I got 150 psi (10.3 bar) with the carbs on. I was glad that both cylinders were the same.
The last 3 days have been gorgeous weather wise and the bike has started great and been running wonderfully.

That is always good to hear!
