I recently installed a Mikuni HSR 42 Carb because I was having some difficulties with CV carb. This carb works really well and driveability was greatly improved. So, I then installed a Andrews EV27 camshaft with Screamin eagle Adjustable Pushrods. I started the bike and the engine came to life instantly but there is a noise. A very annoying, distinct kind of ticking noise that can be heard over exhaust at idle. I thought it was the valve train and was thinking that maybe I did something wrong when I installed lifters and new pushrods. ( I did follow directions precisely) SO, I took out my mechanics stethoscope and listened to each pushrod tube, lifter block etc. No Noise? I then put stethoscope up to carb and the noise is very definitive. It seems as though the slide in the carb is pulsing with the intake and exhaust of the engine. It only does this from idle to 2000 rpm. ** But it is driving me crazy... Has anybody else experienced this condition and can maybe give me some insight as to what I can do to remedy this problem short of putting CV carb back on. Thanks for any help...
