Keep me posted on your success.

Take a little jumper of wire and run it directly from the neg battery terminal to the Condensor housing. See if that does anything

Good tip. I did replace the condensor last week and made sure all grounds where good and clean. Both condensors whete new but i had to try. There is a ground from the condensor direct to battery neg.

Happy to report the popping is gone. Maybe it felt threatened watching me tear down the old set of carbs. Lol
Or the cleaning last week had a delayed reaction
Could be the short rides every chance I get burning a fresh tank of fuel through.

Whatever the case, I started it to warm the boots before pulling the carburetors back off, and noticed it had not popped even after warmed up. I readjusted the low speed jet, and it actually made a noticeable difference this time. I did the idle drop as WF recommended and went for a 20 mile ride. Never ran better, no pops, much smoother through 4200 RPM and cylinder #1 was up to normal Temps.

Glad you got it solved. Now go for some long rides and enjoy it.

Glad you got her out to the Holland Pier. That is what it takes to prove the problem is solved. Enjoy your ride.

Fingers crossed
