Been away from riding for a while and this forum....trying to get back into it. Hello again to everyone. Here are the details of my issue:
2003 speedmaster
TOR pipes
completely stock including air box etc
stored for a little over a year with stabil in the gas
Here is what I did:
1. drained all gas
2. pulled carbs and cleaned. there was no varnishing on the inside
2a. new spark plugs and battery
3. readjusted idle screws to 3 turns out
4. Bike starts up and idles fine.
5. Almost dies out in first gear when you go to pull out....have to give it a lot of gas to get going.
6. Will get up to speed but cuts out badly.
7. when shutting down bike there is a backfire at times
8. Tried readjusting idle screws while running....didn't seem to make a difference no matter how many turns out or fully closed (I remember adjusting these previously and you could tell a difference when you were turning the screw)
Any ideas?
Anyone know someone near Huntington, wv that works on Triumphs?
