Carb sync - Idle set - Idle drop - Video Inside
What do you guys think of this sync... I still see the idle wavering a bit, but that could just be the v-twin, eh? (Still getting used to syncing a twin. Done lots of i-4's).
I tried to do an idle drop, but i installed jack's screws with pruple loctite and now they won't budge with only my fingers
I'm going through all this because i still can't get my bike to run on the choke... And Hawk won't help me (LOL)...

2nd video. I reset the idle to 1200. Reset the levels in the carb sync bottles. Temps are higher here, but the tach variance is definitely looking better at idle. Thoughts?

There ya go. Perfectly balanced carbs now
When you rev the engine up, on the way back down, you have a hesitation or "hang" at 2,000-2,200 RPM's. This indicates you are lean at idle. Try to break those fuel screws free of that Locktite and give them a half turn out and see how she is.
You really don't need Locktite on the fuel screws. Those springs keep pressure on the screws preventing them from backing out.

I just restarted the bike, now at a lower temp. Not much of a hanging tach needle now... Here is video 3.

I know I'm the only one who has been posting in this thread, so I'm assuming that its because other members feel the same. Your carbs look perfectly balanced now and the idle sounds like all the other Superhawks I have heard, which is + or - ~100 RPM's. I would guess that is just a trait of our V-Twin engine. It won't be almost rock solid like a inline 4.

Case reopened on this, as I just unscrewed my adjustable mixture screws, out by 1/4 turn each... Now it won't idle when cold again.
It's amazing how sensitive these carbs are to adjustment! Looks like I need to re-sync again

This is a cold engine with the choke out, correct? And it still won't idle? 1/4 turn out shouldn't have affected it THAT much.
