Title: Blah, I seafoamed my carbs, and it still has some weird popping sound.
Post by: Archer on June 01, 2008, 08:10:17 PM
So I seafoamed the carbs, and even put a little into the gas tank for good measure.  I've put about... 250 miles on the bike this weekend, and im still getting some popping sounds from the bike.  It doesnt pop much at idle, but if i rev it up to about 2-3k it popps alot.  Its not predictable pattern eather.  Maybe theres something wrong in the muffler, like a little piece of the baffle broken off?
Or maybe its just time to rebuild my carbs and hope for the best.  As long as its not the engine going bad i'll be okay.   /wrists  :icon_rolleyes:

Clean carbs, rejet carbs, do not rebuild carbs unless they are leaking from every joint (which I know they're not ... how, I've rarely seen the GS type mikuni's leak especially from the T fittings ... BTW you got blocked Pilot jets I'll bet. Just freaking toss them and get 40's. 125 mains and #4 wahsers and set air screws to 3, AKA, the 40/125/1/3 setup - if its stock filter and pipe or stock pipe.
Cool.
