first let me say this. I know some of you dislike me because i've posted so often about problems i'm having. Thats fine, but all i ask is for some serious replies. If my posts bother you please don't read them and reply with insults. i'm simply trying to get help that i need very badly. thank you.

now, as i said recently i found that problem i was having with running rich which happened to be the carb vent tube which on the california evap models goes to a valve that opens when you start the bike. I disconnected it and used a piece of fuel line that just hangs down to by pass the valve which apparently isn't opening all the way. 100 miles later not a trace of soot. And this with having put my shims back on which i had removed when it was sooting the plugs. However, today all of a sudden it developed a hesitation when i whack the throttle open. It happens only sligtly on the street but badly when in steady cruise on the freeway. Then it's not a hesitation but the exact same symptom as you get when you first start running out of gas. It cts then goes randomly. It's not the tank breather, i checked all the rubber and even tried the WD40 trick to check for vaccum leaks. Switched plugs, checked the plug wires at the plugs and coils, (and they are new nology coils and wires) removed the slides twice and checked needles for straigness and both times was VERY carefull to get the diaphrams back on right and checked them for holes/tears. removed the petcock fuel line and turned it on with a container below it to see if it was flowing strong. it was. And the plugs are now lean looking. the center porcelin in snow white and there's no soot except the usual slight bit on the edge of the threads.

And heres another hint......i can be at freeway speeds and it's doing this badly, then gun it and under wot accelleration it doesn't do it. Seems like it happens at about mid throttle either at steady cruise or when whacking the throttle from low to midway, the latter being a slight hesitation.

I just don't know what to do with this bike at this point. can't sell it like this but i can't ride it either. So if anyone has any ideas please share, but those who want to insult me i'm asking you PLEASE refrain.
