I know exactly what happens when you are floating your valves. The cam is returning to the springs before they close up the valves. But how would you know you are floating your valves. Like today i was messing with jetting. I cleaned the carb and everything else. Well the thing was backfiring alot when i let off the gas so i wanted top go bigger on the jets, it had a 155 in it, and the only bigger jet i had was a 162.5. so for the hell of it i put it in. The thing ran so much better and was accelerating even harder than before. After riding for a while i decided to tach it out well it tached alright, and a little higher than before and then it sounded like it was hitting a rev limiter. But when i had it out i maxed i out on the road and it didnt do this, it was running awesome with no backfiring or signs of rich or lean mixtures. Do you guys think i was just floating the valves? I know its not good so i am not going to try it again untill i check the plug tommorow lol. Need input before i mess something up. Also doesnt it seem like my main jet is a little big. I mean i have the hotcam, piston, freeflowing echaust and filter, and a high output coil. Keep in mind this all started when i put the hotshots coil in, before it wouldnt handle the added fuel so the coil did do a little soemthing for it.
