tuning help
have nearly racked up 200 miles on the refreshed 1641 and its freeing up nicely, my only drama is a very occasional pop out the exhaust if I
accelerate lightly, it only does it the once then may not do it again for a while. I have tried adjusting the acc pumps slightly in and out with no
change.
the other thing, when accelerating, 1st and 2nd its like a rocket without nailing it, 3rd is passable but if sitting on 2-2500 in 4th and trying to
pick the speed up there is a lot of induction noise with very mediocre pickup, should I be upping my main jets? 120s at the mo

I bet you're running a 009 dissy. Vacuum advance (SVDA) provides some sort of engine control response to the engine being underload, such as
acceleration or your foot burried at 2000 rpm ish, besides the initial accelerator pump.
what carb you got?
what colours your spark plugs? you can tell mixture conditions by that.

69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears. 
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta! |

Is it popping out the exhaust or the top of the carb?
Have you sync'd and balanced your carbs....... properly?
Are the Webers or other things?
What is you vent / jet set up?

I will say I have never seen a 60 idle in a 40 Weber.
Not saying it is wrong - just very surprised.
I would have thought a 50 was more appropriate
Rule of thumb is 1.25 x body size
Does it pick up in revs and peak at 2-3 turns out on the mixture
Again - your 125's seem large for 28 vents.
personally, I dont like 28's
I ran 32's very successfully on a 1600 with 135 mains
Rule of thumb is 4.2 x vent size
you have set the carbs but are the opening "exactly" at the same time.
I assume you have a redline hex bar set up?
They can be a bugger to set the heim (sp?) joint drop arms
Have you read these articles?

Personally I think the AC.net articles do the biz
What is the Haynes one you have seen?
Haynes does a good one that I have??
or this one
http://www.cbperformance.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=0103
I also like the Dellorto one
Similar but different idle jets size and emulsion tube numbers

Yeah read those, would like to educate myself so I have more of an understanding of what effect any changes I make will have.
Have a CSP bell crank setup, Redline Hex Bar that was supplied with the carbs was missing the arms that the heim joint rods connected to, so glad I
didn't go that way!!
could try dropping the original jets back in to see what the difference is (55s and 120s)

CSP = good
Are you getting reaction from the mixture screws?
How many turns out are they?
