Hey guys, I tried garys way and it is tough and not working as well as I thought it would. I'm looking to buy new carbs and the only options I've really seen is the TC Bros VM34 or the carbs that are on Mikes XS. Anyone know which are better to buy? Everything on my bike is stock and I will...
Jesus gggGary. That is awesome. So all I need to do is find a sharp hard metal to create my own flathead screw slot? After I do it, do I turn the screwdriver clockwise or counterclockwise to take it out? How many turns should I do? Is it possible to turn the mixture screw while the carbs are...
Also something to note. The mixture screw on my left carb is going into the throttle body where the butterfly valve is. So it seems to be in there tight. I think the mixture screws are brass so they are pretty soft but could they possibly increase the diameter of the hole because I screwed it in...
I drilled through the flat head screw at the top. I didn't actually drill until the threads are gone. Is there a good way to take the stripped head screw out? That way I think I can just replace the mixture screw without having to spend a couple hundred for a new set of carbs.
Thanks, Bstryker
Hey all!
So... My bike was running decently and I wanted to mess around with it and get my idle smoother with no deceleration popping. Did a bit of research and found that it was most likely a lean mixture, though it could be a number of reasons. So I took the initiative to take off the carbs...
Here you all are! Finally got her working. One of the PO's did custom military color paint on the tank and the logo has fallen off on the left side but the rest is great! Let me know what you think!
Hey guys! I didn't realize that the bike can shift without the clutch in general but once I turned the motor on and started actually driving it everything worked fine! Sorry I haven't posted but I've been squeezing the last couple days out of the season hopefully! Gonna take some pics of the...
So I have tried it both ways. With resistance and without resistance. If I tighten the adjustment screw on the worm mechanism I "can" get resistance if I want. Either way it shifts as if there is no clutch lever. That's why I'm thinking it might be something internal that's loose?
Thanks, I will look into the less invasive procedures first cause I don't have the tools to open it up currently. But if it still doesn't work then I'll try it
As of right now I have tried to do the adjuster with the 1/8 turn back on a fully loosened clutch lever. I was trying that when I was...
