Gary they are for early model front caliber. Does $30 shipped sound good?

Gary I pulled them off a titled 71 but I can't guarantee they are original. They don't appear to be new condition like I would expect a mikes XS one to be but I can't say for sure. Is there any way if telling by looking at them. I can send you more pics if needed.

Hey all I have a ton of extra XS parts that I want to unload. PlEase see below pix

Hey All, I just recently picked up new carb manifolds off of Mikes XS for my 72 BS38's. The new manifolds have the barbs in them. I was curious on how to go about syncing them. If I do the yard stick and and attached and end of the hose to each barb would I then adjust the air fuel...

I got one shoot me a PM

Thanks guys for the response. I just wanted to make sure i was doing it right since it was my first time doing it. I will redo it since i messed around with teh mixture a little and see what happens.

Hey All, I can not seem to wrap my head around syncing my carbs using the dead cylinder method. Ihave a 1971 with pamco, HHB PMA, BS38 carbs off a 72. My intake boots do not have the barbs so I cant do the fluid sync. Also I have no rpm guage. main jet is 135, pilot jet is 45, running...

Hey All, So I discovered it was user error on the compression test. I was not opening the throttle which wasn't allowing any air to get in. When I did the compression test again I had 120psi in the cylinder and I took the pod off the carb on that one. When I went the test the right...

Alright so I got some parts from Plane Ben and replaced the cylinder jugs the whole head and all the valves. I relapped all the valves and they had no light coming through them when I installed everything. I got the biking running and did the cam chain, valves and timing adjustment and also...

Did you check and make sure the clutch push rod wasn't put in backwards. I know I put mine in backwards and for a while it felt fine but then all of a sudden I had issues with the clutch. I noticed I put the clutch push rod in backwards and now it feels good again.

haha Anlaf I feel you man. I had my whole engine put together and then noticed someones thread saying make sure the pistons are facing forward and I remembered not knowing I was supposed to do that so I had to tear the top end down and sure enough they were in backwards. Good thing I never...

So I did a compression test this weekend and sure enough the left cylinder has zero compression. The right cylinder was reading low too. It only read a max of 110 psi. I have enough parts to build up a 447 engine so I think I am going to do that since I don't have any spare 256 parts...
