Hey y’all!
‘75 cb 550 F
Been having some running issues. Flat spots, hiccups, pops in the pods, etc...
Current approaches to the problems
-rebuilt top end due to leaky gasket (cam/ignition is all timed up-running dyna s-though problem existed owing points)
-installed dyna s
-put in some new floats and set heights correctly
What I think the issue might be:
After all that, the problem still persists. Though, I have a feeling it’s the floats. When I installed the new floats they didn’t seem as “springy” as they should be and the problem seemed to be at the arm. They would kind of just get stuck but then I could finagle it and get it to where it needed to be.
I’m wondering if it is a good idea to drill out the float arm support holes to give it some more play?
Anyway-all four cylinders are running rich, too rich, and there is some fuel in the overflow valve at the bowl but nothing crazy. I’ve run bikes with a heavy bowl with relatively decent performance.
Whatever is happening here is crippling the bike.
Would too much fuel cause all these problems?
Thank you
