Need carb help. 71 commando. mikuni carb. Runs and idles ok when i start. i run it with the choke for a few minutes and then it idles well with the choke off. Once i get it out it hesitates at about 3/4 throttle. as the engine heats up the situation gets worse. it wants to stall at speed and under any load at all. if i pull in the clutch it stays running but just barely. there is also popping in the pipes when warm(i wouldnt call it lound enought to be a backfire). The timing is right on. Plugs are a little dark but not fouled.
I have never had a mikuni before and am a little intimadated. I am also running a boyer which i have never had before. I have been down all the checklist that i follow with my triumph and cant seem to figure it out (checked timing, cleaned air cleaner, made sure manifold isnt leaking, lubed autoadvance mechanism)
