OK my 150 California-legal bike is s till knocking, bad.
Put in lighter Dr Pulley rollers to get the RPM up into the power band.
Raised the carb needle but only the tiniest bit because it isn't adjustable so used a very small washer.
Set mix to max rich, was quite lean.
Hot coil.
Good plug.
Premium gas.
Still knocks. I am still suspicious that this California carburetor is set way lean. It's a Deni brand. I'm thinking for California compliance maybe they jetted down a lot and I can jet up. It is a real pain in the butt to remove the carb so i only want to do it once. Since this is supposedly a good carb I don't see any benefit in replacing it, just think I should jet up. Timing appears correct.
Thoughts?
