I'm working on getting my bike idle/air fuel mixture perfect.
Realized it dies when leaning towards left side. Accelerates when leaned towards right side. I am not turning handlebar. I thought it might be my new eBay carb, but I changed out the top half of the carburetor to my old carb (the part with the petcock), and have the same problems with my old carb float,etc. I have plenty of gas as well.The tilt angles are very small, Probably 15 degrees of lean and the bike will speed up quickly or slowly die.
That sounds like what my 81 does when I need gas. That is my gas gage. Baby Huey`s 2 cents. I checked and have nearly a full tank and as I tilt it, both open and reserve are submerged. I ran it on reserve and open as well to check. Try taking the petcock off the side of the carb & check that you get a good stream of gas on both the main & reserve. It sounds just like my tank when there is not enough gas in the tank to create a good flow. Fuel outlets are right of center in the tank on my 81 so leaning right should make gas higher over an inlet & left, like on the side stand can make less gas flow when the tank is low on mine. The float is hinged front to back so it shouldn`t change with lean angle.
I guess I should have mentioned its a 1970 c70m. It has a different style float.
