Thank you sir! I just put everything back in the right place. I overlooked that anything went under the rubber plugs. This is what threw me off, but I guess I confused the "pilot jet" with the "pilot air jet"?

Thanks. It was actually the carb guide that led me to to install the pilot jet there (even though it didn't seem right). I've read through it a few times, but were there no cameras when it was written? There are far too few pictures for someone with my IQ to grasp. Again, thanks for such a...

Alright, I'm no carb expert and I should have documented better. I took these bs34's apart from a 1982 to clean and too much time passed before reassembly. The pilot & main seem to be stock, and I believe I have installed them back in the right place, but I can't figure out what jet this middle...

HEY HEY, whadya know, it was the carb. Did a deeper cleaning now it's runnin on both sides. Don't ever listen to me. Even when all the searches brought up "clean the carbs" that weak spark was tricking me. Spark is still weak on that side, but it runs. Next problem: it's not charging. No...

Yeah, the left looks normal, the right (side that's not firing) looks as new as when I put it in.

Thanks 5twins. Like I said, the only reason I didn't clean them again is b/c the spark thing didn't make sense to me. Screw it though, I'm gonna clean the carbs! :thumbsup:

did yours have a weak spark too? that's what stumps me, how can a carb problem affect the spark? Oh well, I'll give it a shot as i'm running out of options

I don't know too much history of this bike, but it's an '82 that seems to have been converted to points. I put new plugs & wires on, adjusted the points & timing, and did a quick cleaning of the carbs. Runs good on the left cylinder, nice blue spark at the left cyl. points, but it's not...

Ahh Dunlap, don't they have a ban on any pre-2005 motorcycles? Oh wait, that's Morton. I'm only running on the left cylinder. Gonna troubleshoot a bit more tonight, then I'll start a new thread with some educated symptoms, if need be.

Someday I wanna run with the bulls. Never wanted to do it neked, but now, maybe I do.

I'm in peoria, what about you furious? sorry weekend rider, I should have given more info about my problem when I go like this it does it, so I tried taking off that piece that has 2 bolts holding it. everything looks good, but the black thing with the little clamp or spring whatever (it's...

Hey guys, just wanted to say a quick what's up. Bought my first XS 4 years ago (a '72), and since then acquired a '78 and just a couple weeks ago an '82. The '82 is giving me fits, so I'm gonna search around a bit & see if I can't figure out my problem. Most likely I'll be eati.. I mean...
