Stuck ring?

[paul1478]

so.. was it too lean, heated up and stuck the ring? what was the cause?

Hi Mark,
that is my assumption. I had 2 ripped intake manifolds I did not notice. It had to have been running very lean.
The bottom two rings were stuck so tight I never was able to get the loose. I tried with some picks Chuck had. I have been trying to be nice to it while it breaks in but it is much better that it was. New porting seems to make a difference also.

makes sense. UPP ones? i know chuck killed one a year + ago. this is also why i support the backs of my carbs w those.

Glad you got it sorted.

It was the original ones Chuck but on when he built it.
I changed them again when we went through it last week. I will change them every 2 years now and inspect them when cleaning the bike.
I always try and learn from my mistakes.
