Sounds like the usual blocked jets to me. If it runs OK on choke it sounds
like it's not getting gas from where it should ie a jet.

I think Rick said he only synced the carbs manually, by feel or squinting
down the throats. I think they need better than that.

Tom,

Thanks for setting me straight. Your description was good and I understand
now.

In thinking about this (for future problem solving), if the cam was indeed
in the wrong spot then wouldn't the bike run poorly all the time? Rick has
said that the bike runs well with the choke on but not off. I'm just

curious

as to what the signs would be of that.

If I know Rick's bike correctly I don't think this will be the case but

you

never know.

Interesting discussion.

Regards....Ian

Ian,

I think you are confusing the electrical timing of the distributor with
the cam timing. In order to get an engine to run properly the cam must
be synchronized with the crankshaft. Then the distributor must be
synchronized with the camshaft. Even if you did pull the distributor and
move it a tooth or two one way or another it would not fix the problem
if the cam and crank were not in their proper places with respect to one
another.

I admit that this is a long shot, but if somebody has torn down the
engine, and all other attempts have failed, then it might be time to
pull the front cover(s) off and check the synchronization marks.
