Quote from: RashadOK!!!! UPDATE!!:

I got srinath's carbs, tach and coils...

I started with the tach. Guess what?...

FIRST THING:

My bike hasnt been going to 5-6k. My tach was dead wrong, its been going to like 8k or so.. like it used to. However, it still ran like shaZam! the whole way up. So i havent been breaking the bike in right, since i THOUGHT i was at 5k... but oh well, too late now.

SECOND THING:

Cleaned up srinaths carbs, kept his jets etc... bike immediately ran 100 times better... lean, but still better. I noticed a crazy backfire though, and i figured out the problem:

On the diaphragm covers... the little caps on top were broken off and causing a vaccuum leak. So i used my caps... PROBLEM SOLVED!! Bike runs like it used to!!!



So, srinath.... how much do you want for the tach and carbs? And if you want mine ill send them as well. I just have to get it jetted right now.

And man, i dont get it.... apparently it was the carb BODIES?!  hehe, whatever... i dont need the coils btw.. but thanks!!!

Told you carburetor ... Also told you The vacuum spigot on mine was broken...I took apart 3 sets os carbs to put that together...neither one had a good top piece...OK I actually will take $8 for the shipping + all your parts...carbs, my coils and well you need the tach...OK your tach...Yea fine the parts are fine...Oh sorry you cant use that tach...it has a broken bolt stem...Well keep it if you need it till you get a good tach. So send back the parts (your carbs and my coils) and send the tach (or I'll try yours...Need somehitng I can open wihtout guilt) later and send me $8 for shipping. That should be fine.
OK so your carbs, my coils and your tach and $8 or my coils, your carbs and my tach later and $8.
How's that...
Cool.

Also thanks to Jared (not Jared Subway ad guy...Jared GS guy) for helping out Rashad...Last year I bought 3 sets of broken carbs well actually 4 sets cos the junkyard guys had no idea how to put these together and they knew they were broken...and made a good set and sent it to Jared. The rejects from that pile were used to make yours Rashad. So in effect 2 sets of carbs cost $25. Now finally I get my hands on a set of defective carbs. My friend had one but I never got to work on it. His bike will bog if you gave it full throttle...but if you opened it slow it ran fine. He did block 1 of the 2 slide holes so it wasn't slide lifting too quick.
Cool.

OK... 8$, plus your coils, MY carbs, and My tach. My tach has  a broken bolt too.. just the other side.. hehe. Previous owner was a clutz and clearly dropped it. So ill have to send money order though.. my paypal is being sooo annoying  :guns:

Ill send that asap srinath.. thank you!

Also... i havent closed the slide holes yet.. and i think i need to.. what should i use? Oh yeah, and when i jet will i gain a noticeable amount of power? remember i have the V&H full system. Thanks!

Well 40 pilots, will help the low end, and what filter you have?? Anyway 125 mains or 150 mains (K&N pods and no airbox) and 1-2 washers under needle will be close. 3 turns out on mix screw. If the bike is fine dont close 1 of the holes. If it runs fine on slow opening of throttle and falls on its face if you open fast then one hole needs to be closed. Send a personal check. The money order crap isn't worth it for $8
Cool.
Srinath.

I have stock filter.. i also have 125.7mains that i need to put in, and im waiting on the pilots and washers from a good buddy from this site.

Ok, a personal check would be easier  Im still confused on the slide thing.. i DO know that when i open the throttle, its either a LOT or a nt enough til i give it more, then its a LOT... if thats what you mean.. so low end driveability is suffering. Ill see how it is after the jets and washers.

OK Throttle opening...You are riding along at 1/8-1/2 throttle in 5th or 6th and you do a quick open of the throttle to say 3/4...does it accelerate or fall on its face. That would be the clue. Then open it slowly to 3/4. If it behaves then it dont need a hole shut off.
Cool.
Srinath.

wow this thread is old.

Anyone have any advice or rules of thumb for jetting for a cooler climate? summers still get blazing hot but short lived. I'm in Toronto btw

I perfected the jetting in toronto in winter ... nothing like the damn 404 for O2 sensor runs.
125 with Uni or stock filter in air box, 127.5 for K&N in air box, and 150 for open K&N's.
I have had one person run 1 step higher mains and he was in canada. I'd stay with this, I never had an issue there with these.
Cool.
Srinath.

Thanks for the heads-up! Gotta check out Motolink...didn't even know it was there. Looks like a good shop!
