Allrighty- I picked up Dyscofool's F3, replaced the fuel pump with the slightly different part out of my Hurricane. Got her running and idling. So far so good- Now I am running into a different problem, was wondering if anyone here had any ideas:
When I take off, the bike jumps, chugs and just barely runs at all. I have to feather the clutch and keep the RPMs up around 3K just to keep it from dying. If I stay in the throttle, it will eventually lurtch and jerk it's way up past 5K rpm- where the motor smooths out and starts to run more normally. At 7K when I hit the powerband, she takes off like a raped ape. Same progression in every gear- stutters, chugs and almost dies under 5, runs a little rough but not bad from 5-7, and perfect over 7. I am thinking the problem is in the carbs, my mechanic buddy thinks it's still the fuel pump, and I haven't heard what you think yet. Any ideas?
Oh- one other question: Does anyone know if the F1 and F3 use the same cam chain tensioner?
