BS CV carb tutorial

Found this on the interwebs.
Very useful info and pics.
Yes it was written by someone about Suzuki carbs, but if you will look a lot of your questions will be answered and explained.
Where is the pilot screw, float needle jet, how to set floats by a ruler or a sight gauge,
etc. and so forth.
Anyway hope you find it useful.

Very nice and I see it confirms some of the things we use for our 650 BS34s, notably plastic float height (@ about 22mm) and the ability to swap alloy tops onto them. I also like some of the techniques like supporting the float post with a small socket before tapping the pivot pin out. I've saved a copy on my computer for future reference.

A very good write up on the CV carb. Even though its not specific to XS650 carbs, the general principles are the same.

Yes I thought the tips, tricks and pics were great.
Shows alot of the things you have repeated and repeated 5twins.
All the way from tools needed (you've been dropping the JIS tip for how many years?)
to putting them back on.
And for those that are new it shows Dremel tools don't hurt in the right applications.
Another site I've been looking at for all round general knowledge and specifically "how big a hole to poke in a jet".

The faq/tuning page was interesting but more interesing is the parts listings.
Slides and diaphrams for $70. ????
I've sent an e-mail to see if they have some stuff in stock or they are a re-order place
