CR Carbs..........Jury is IN!!
Had the CR carbs installed today.....supposedly jetted properly from Sean @ BC.
First, I don't notice any appreciable gain up to 60MPH. Second, I think that it's a tad rich on the mixture as I have a strong odor of gas during idle and after shut-off. I'll have to deal with that.
Not sure as to how to approach those issues.
Third, the throttle is very stiff compared to the OEM carbs due to direct link Vs. vacuum. (this anomaly is very much influenced by not being used to a racing type carb set-up.)
Overall, I think that it is too rich and will seek guidance on how to remedy it.
I don't know if I'm gonna like this after all. Time will tell, I guess.
