I just rebuilt my cv carb with the cvp performance kit. It was running fine prior...and runs even better now! Although I seem to have a 'wavering' idle between 50-75 RPM. This just occurs at idle...no changes at steady cruising at all. I have my idle set at 950 and it jumps up too 990 or down to 920...it wavers.

1979 Triumph Bonneville 750cc

This bike was appraised at $7000 by Century Motorcycles in San Pedro.
Fresh rebuild on both the engine and transmission. New clutch and wiring. Lots of new powder coat!
Very rare gas tank.

This is a show stopper at a vintage bike event!

Clean title in my hand!

I'll post some pix here in a few minutes. I swore I would never sell this bike, but have been out of work for too long now and need the cash to pay bills. Just the way it goes sometimes.
