As you all probably don't recall, I had some black smoke coming from my
right pipe at idle. I fiddled with the choke. as suspected, there is no0
slack in the cables, this would mean that the choke is at least partially
activated. I could have farted around with it for a while and shortened the
sleeve so that it could have some slack. But in the end I just ripped the
sucker off the bike entirely.

Now the smoke is gone and the bike Idles quite nicely. However it is bitchy
to start (it does start but it does a lot of complaining) no biggee except
being another symptom.

More disturbing is the transition from idle to moving. It wasn't bad today
(cool and raining) but previously,on a hot day, it was bad enough that I had
to rev it quite high and feed some serious clutch to get rolling. But only
if I was starting on an incline.

so anyhow, it seems the idle mixture may be off and quite possibly the
synchronization as well. The synch is no sweat. I'll do that tonight. But
I'm having trouble finding the specs to reset the idle mixture to original
(set to zero and adjust) was it all in and 1.5 out on the left and 2.5 on
the right?
