[QUOTE="steampick, post: 120995, member: 424"] Well, I moved the timing sprocket one tooth and the bike wouldn't start at all so I changed it back. Next I cleaned the points which made no difference. Finally, I cleaned the jets of the carb and the thing started and ran (which it did before the head swap) but only with the choke on. The carb on this 1984 has no adjustable needle but a friend gave me a tip: take the little metal washer from an old set of points and slip that over the needle jet to raise it. I did that and the bike works better but still a bit lean. At the end of the day that's going to be good enough. It runs and idles fine now, just need the choke on to do it. [/QUOTE]
