Hey guys, did some searching but couldn't find anything conclusive.
The bike's a 75 CB550f (069a carbs), factory airbox with Uni foam filter, and Mac headers with open Cone muffler. No backpressure.
I put this bike together over the last year and I've only really ridden it a few times now that it's "complete". I've noticed a good amount of popping on deceleration when riding in about 40-50 degree weather. We had a warm day a couple weeks ago and it ran GREAT in the warm, I don't remember the popping.
Is popping due to a lean condition? Would an open exhaust cause lean or rich? Could I compensate by adjusting the air/fuel screws?
BTW, the carbs were rebuilt and have all stock jets, the plugs are new and properly gapped, and I did a carb sync yesterday. Thanks guys!
