Huh! I got a Polaris Bell Mouth from Zmilin in the mail today & installed it. I hadn't noticed before but the K&N filter is not wet with fuel, but definately reeks of gas and the base was a little wet (fuel).
So I have come to conclusion that Black Beauty is running rich at idle/stops. So, now I'm wondering....float levels are okay.....not a crack or age damage visible on/in any of the squirrle rubbers, manifold tubes or airbox....idle adjustment was a temporary fix at best and may have made the real issue more prominant???
I haven't synced the carbs yet..but that's next on my list. What if the advance/return throttle cable(s) were out of adjustment? I haven't touched em since I bought the BA so it doesn't seem likely....
All of the collective advice is appreciated....this is a real bugger of a troubleshooting issue for me & not resolved yet either!
