Greg, my Eldo has a 950 kit and 30mm carbs, running mid position on the
needle. Left side is working great no coloration on the header even
after long idle other than a little brown. Right side is super hot, blue
to purple after cruising slow or long idle, it runs cooler on the road
at speed but still blue compared to the left side.

As well on long idle or stop and go my oil is overheating, loosing
pressure etc.

I know I need to sync the carbs and get them dialed in and that should
richen it up at idle and assure one cyclinder is not pulling the other
along. Just don't have a procedure for it.

As for the oil has anyone tried the 20-50 synthetics used for other big
bore air cooled bikes?
