Just bought a 350F. Bike had sat indoors for about 5 years, carb rebuild done before it sat. Got the bike running this weekend and tried to take it back to spec as much as possible.
Before I sync'd the carbs, I attempted to time the bike with the new points and condensors I ordered. Put the timing let on it and 1&4 were hitting dead on the "F" mark at idle. Switched to 2&3... the "F" mark for 2&3 seemed to stradle the pointer. It was like it was going back and forth between being retarded and advanced. Nobody get excited, it is a small variance, but it is noticable.
The bike ran great after the sync, except I got into high gear on the road and I seemed to hit a wall at 60 mph. I'd say I was at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle, and anymore twist wouldn't do anything for me. Keep in mind I'm 220 lbs.
My plan is to ride it for awhile- let it wake up from its sleep and clean itself out. I won't be able to check any suggestions anyone makes until this weekend as I am traveling. Thanks in advance- or retard- or whatever.
