Roger. Sorry, I'm not the most knowledgeable with these carbs or bikes. The conversations always start with checking the carb manuals in the tech sections though and weeding out the most likely culprit first. I increased my pilot jet 1 size because I was really flat off of idle and the 1 size...

When you say the needles are on the second slot from the top, do you mean the blunt side or the pointy side? If the clip is closer to the blunt side that is probably too lean and why you are cutting out. Closer to the blunt side leans the circuit, closer to the pointy side richens the circuit.

Do you still have this for sale? I can't see the images. I'm getting a photo bucket image

Roger that. This bike has the inverted v shape. I'm assuming standard fuel line can be used as long as it's the correct size? That's the thinnest tubing I can think of. Yep, those are junk air filters that came with the bike. The carbs still need a little work and unipods are included in that...

Hi all, I am trying to free up some room around the carbs. Do I need the crankcase breather? If so, can I rerout it somewhere or block off one side? Also does the hose need the filter attached? It's a 79 special if that matters. Attached is a pic in case I'm calling it The wrong thing

I'm not worried about originality. After I found out you only need 1 petcock I immediately wanted to remove and seal the hole. Specifically my left side because that's the one that is leaking and it would save me the trouble of rebuilding something. I'm just not sure if I'm going to keep my...

I didn't know you could use soapy water. I had planned on killing one of the cylinders to try and help track it down. Would that be the same as covering the Venturi? I didn't pull and clean the choke plunger or the mix screws, so I'm not sure if that could be it. And I'm still a little lean. I...

Your pictures and posts are absolutely helping me out. Did the new carb holders and gaskets take care of the vacuum leak and stop popping at idle? I was thinking about ordering a new set. They are not terribly expensive, but I want to make sure that is what my problem is.

31. Riding since I was 20. This xs is my second bike. Now all I want to do is look for barn finds on craigslist and restore them. It's a fun hobby.

I work in Viral Safety/Viral Clearance. I graduated East Stroudsburg University in '10 and moved to Lancaster, PA where I started working on a vaccine potency project. I worked for a large pharma company that made the chicken pox and shingles vaccine. I made sure the potencies were as listed on...

I used the grey stuff. Took the manifold off, dressed it with the gunk, let it sit for an hour, put it on. Next day went and fired up the bike. It is still popping, however not as bad. Check for air leaks with starter fluid, everywhere I spray speeds up the damn bike now. I'll track it down. I'm...

Got it running pretty good!

I'm pretty sure that is exactly what happened lol. None of the numbers on the needles and Jets match a stock set up. For example the needles are all adjustable, and on a 34 I think they are supposed to be fixed. We got it running! Pretty sure we are rich on the pilot circuit though. We have a...
