How are plugs looking with new gaskets in place?
Pipes need tightening again?

Last week I posted an audio recording from my CB450 to demonstrate the performance of some replacement springs in the spark advancer. I realized it is possible to extract the engine speed from the audio (at least if it is clean) and have been goofing around with a computer program to automate this process. There are several things I have to tweak to get it to work well, but it does seem to work. I took the CB360G out this morning on a route where I could capture some decent data and I'll share the audio track here along with the RPM and [calculated] speed data below. I ran out of physical space in fourth gear due to an upcoming stop sign.
One possible suspect is that the idle adjuster screw on the right-hand Keihin 723A carburetor has a weak spring. I sometimes tighten it by hand if I notice the idle is low, so I wonder if it could be backing out and that might be related to the popping. I happened to turn that adjuster in a bit before starting my ride today.
I rode the bike this morning to capture the audio track discussed above. No popping today and I didn't change a thing. Still need to check the plugs.
