That's kind of what I was thinking.

This is my bobber project. I just don't have time for it. Stuff is starting to pile around it. I would rather have it go to someone else. I have fabricated some parts for it. Such as a seat, rear fender, jockey shift, foot clutch, foot pegs and a small sissy. The front tubes are stretched and it...

No they aren't but I bought the 500 from a bike dealer here in town and he said he could get me a title. I haven't been to concerned about it ut has just been in my storage. Now I figured I need to get rid of some stuff.

Complete xs650 for sale I'm in the sd area. Would be a great bike to build I have to many I need to get rid of some bikes. I am asking 500 for the bike. I also have a complete bike that is taken apart. If someone wanted to put it back together they could. I want 300 for it. Can call or text me...

I have one I'm in the sd area though let me know if you interested

Does your carbs have a stamped steel top or aluminum. R your jets located in the bowl or the body of your carbs. Just tryin to figure out for sure what carbs you have. The jets you pulled sound like pilot. If you have bs38 them are huge pilot jets. In the mean time I would go to the tech section...

Why did you take the carbs off? Or I should ask why you went up a jet size? Did you mess with the mix screw at all. Are black plugs seated right. It sound like one of the pilot curcuits is plugged .

I turned the rpms down till it just about won't run. The change is suddle I guess I was expecting a sudden change like the rpms going up cause then there is talk about adjusting it back down with the idle screw.

I am working on adjusting the air mixture screws. Doing the dead cylinder method, Anyway I turn the mix screw makes no difference in idle. I am assuming something is clogged in the pilot curcuit? Or what else could it be?

Thanks! Great info to have! Posted via Mobile

Just curious how do you know what model xs you have? The specs are different for each. Say u get a bike and the motor is a different year then the frame? Posted via Mobile

Thanks for the tips! I did bench sync the carbs as best I could before I put them on. I used the hole where the mix screw comes out for reference. The fluid at first tried to take off but a few adjustments and it stayed in the tubes. I can get it pretty close but not right on they stay pretty...

I just got done rebuilding some different carbs for my bike. I can tell that the carbs are out of sync. I have made a manometer. Do you adjust the mix screws before you sync or after.

I just have to ask cause a lot of the time the simplest things are over looked. When u did the leak down, did you make sure you where at tdc on the compression stroke on that cylinder. Posted via Mobile
