its a quick bike,  maybe 80 hp.  i have many many hours in the head and valvetrain.  i still have a few carb issues.  # 2 just dumps gas out of the intake.  the carbs have been off,  inspected for crack's,  cleaned,  rebuilt w/ new needels & gaskets,  and floats set and bench tested 3 times. i cant fig. it out.
