You can sync all you want, (its a good thing to do) but not to cure the symptoms you describe. Those are Constant Velocity carbs and thus the slides are not mechanicaly linked but pulled by vacuum on one side and pushed by air flow the other one. Thing is, those slides have 2 guiding ears which...

My vote is for T.O.R.S. Do a search here for details, then bypass it temporarely so that you know where to focus if the case.

<<Battery has plenty of power and is new>> Well, did you measured it ? My old 2005 would voluntary not latching the power relay if voltage under 11.9 volts after engine start. All this bragging about relays is caused (with reasons) by Apex stories i guess :-)

Since you speak of the 2005 .. Out of the box..... -no rattle for 3 to 4000 miles, right ! -play on the weight pin is there, right ! Only move to the 2005 we found to quiet it out was to repack the sliders with shims (beer cans, whatever) has hard as your fingers allows it. Then good to go...

You opened & clean... fine. Did you verify the slack in the bushings too ? Too much slack will tend to bind the moveable and you get stuck in low gear. Did you noticed a notch on your ramp ? How deep are they ? This MY will groove your ramps and rail your primary in the middle by resonance. I...

How fresh the springs ? ..hopefuly not 2005 !

Sorry... i was on my phone and did not see the image correct. You were reading 0.13 ma not 130 ma. So that is nothing there.

130 ma. ... that cannot be. Too high. Look for 13ma. I would read the manual for that mm meter first. You at 20ma scale, so what you see is not ampere #, its miliamp. At 130ma, don't blink an eye during summer then battery is empty. That's 6 days for a 20 ah unit.

Pilot jet clogged... As soon as you raise the jet needle, the cylinder kicks in. 2 different jet. Needle jet never plug, Pilot jet very picky. Overnight it in carb cleaner.

Must not be the quiet clutch job i know.... since primary need to be removed & separated. That is, a tied packing of the slider buttons.

Mine has clicked 34000 km with this tensionner with no issue. Sleep well. You kind of need a mirror to see the tensionner body all around.

ok then. There is an air intake pickup to feed the constant velocity circuit at the front intake side. You can see it from airbox when cover removed. A very tiny hole bottom side and really critical. Carb cleaner it using the provided plastic tube. Top off the the bellows cap of each carb and...

Try closing the enrichener faster. You are gas flooding the whole circuit. 3/4 open max when its hot like now, to 1/2 once started, gradually closing to 1/8 during next 20 sec. Do not squeeze trottle. Air is not cold yet. learn what she need on warm up. They all do it. Make sure you have good...

Old thread revived...ehh.. The OP claim a 2.9 ohm from White to ground. This is bad, unless a measurement error. What this test is all about, is to make sure that one of the 3 field is not ground. First thing to be done is to disconnect the plug that goes to the rectifier/regulator module. Other...

There's a better, safer & easier solution for this. Disconnect the tank vent and blow into it while cranking. That will push gas back into the pump. When those pumps run dry during off time, they need priming to go again.
