    100 psi and cloud of white smoke! Not good.

    It turned out to be the rings. I had a big bore kit installed while I was at it.

    coil or ignition unit?

    I found my problem. It's my own stupidity. I misunderstood the TC Bros. directions and I had the 6 wire connectors switched. Once I followed the wiring diagram, I saw they were connected wrong. All is good now.

    coil or ignition unit?

    RG, I have the same problem with an 81. I am using the TC Bros. simple wiring and have 12 volts to the coil but no spark. The TC Bros. 6 pin connector only has 5 wires. It has a blank where it leads to the black wire with white stripe on the CDI box. Is that the kickstand wire you are referring...

    100 psi and cloud of white smoke! Not good.

    Compression test revealed 100 psi on both cylinders. Motor ran but fogged the whole neighborhood with a cloud of white smoke for 5 minutes straight. Oil dripping out the 2 into 1 exhaust. Bad rings or valves or both? Either way, it looks like the top end has to come off which means I might as...

    What length to cut 2 into 1 throttle cable for VM34s

    I'm putting a pair of VM34 round slides on my bike. Does anyone know how I should go about measuring the correct length to cut before I solder the ends up on a 2 into 1 throttle cable? Speaking of where the cable goes into each carb. I'm just not sure how much travel I should leave.

    Giveaway: Exhaust from Pandemonium Custom Choppers! (ends 11pm CST January 1, 2012)

    I should win because you can already see how badass they're going to look on my current project (with the help of my mad photoshop skills). Plus they'll be a perfect match with the leaf spring seat idea that I already stole from you. And you know you'll get more mileage from your advertising...

    Let's See The XS's

    Here's my latest project (before and after). Still working out some of the bugs, but it's nice to have one with stock suspension and a quiet ride compared to my chopped 83.

    BS 38 labeled photos needed to identify jets

    Does anyone have any photos that identify the type of jets in a BS38 carb? I believe the pilot jet is the long one inside the bowl and the main jet is the small round type accessed through the screw on the bottom outside of the bowl. Someone told me there was a "starter" jet in the bowl which I...

    Carb leaks out pods - could it be O ring problem?

    Oops, sorry about that. Guess I should have read through this again before I posted.

    Fuel "T" bar seal replacement

    So do you still need the o rings with this fix or does the tubing act as the seal in this case?

    Carb leaks out pods - could it be O ring problem?

    You wouldn't happen to know the size of the o ring would you? I have a set of metric o rings from Harbor Freight but none of them seem to fit correctly.

    Carb leaks out pods - could it be O ring problem?

    Hey everyone, sorry I'm such an idiot. I mistakenly referred to the o-ring as coming from the main jet. It's actually the float valve piece I should have been talking about. Here's a photo with an arrow pointing to the o-ring in question. If this o ring doesn't seal properly, will it cause the...
