Ok guys, rode a good amount past few times. 50 miles? plugs look perfect. just where they should be. so if ANYONE does the same setup of exhaust i would recommend the settings on this thread

will do, they looked pretty good. also i just went down a couple of blocks before almost running out of gas and she ran like a champ!

Success so far, next test is drive down the block. So sitting still i have a SMOOTH full throttle. Changes made if anyone wants Floats btw are not twisted and height is perfect. could have been when i covered the intake w/ my hand? 150 Main, 45 Pilot, 127.5 Air jet, and 2nd clip from bottom...

Ah gotcha, ok ill report back in a bit. So lets say they arent twisted, what should brass FB height be? Im pretty sure i have the plastic aftermarket ones from mikes. i replaced all the parts and seals, choke etc on that carb.

Not sure what you guys mean by twisted? For the brass floats, whats the height? I am pretty sure (short term memory loss?) i have the black plastic ones

So abit if success today, i installed a140/45 setup and127.5 air jet. It idles really good, and revs slowlly very well atabout 3/4 turn then bogs a lil bit. It was late and i was tired so i called it a night. BUT before i did lol i took it for a spin. From 1st gear i can only give it about 1/4...

Correct, Valves checked, timing is good, timing chain tension is good as well. compression on each cyl is around 111-115 psi. great spark (though i will get new plugs) trust me i have def banged my head against the engine for awhile. i have worked on ALL my friends stock xs' and they all work...

:whistle: thanks!

Tried 3 turns out even 4. no improvement. What i do see on current setup is soot ? (spelling) on the pilot holes , or might be the mixture holes near the intake?

I have read the guides, i have searched the interwebs... but I would like some guidance / thoughts. 81 XS-650, BS34's stock main 132.5, stock pilot 42.5, but Needle Jet - 336 YO, and Jet Needle - 5IX11. also stock air jet of 135 and 2 1/2 turns out mix screw. float bowl height 21mm +-. AND i...

Itsbrand new but Yes! Its like lightning!!! Ill try it and report bAck. I recheckedcompression btw, i have 100 on left and 95-100 on right. Is that ok?

Its capped off, but what ill do is spray starter fluid in that area and see what happens

Hey guys, im a bit a wits end.. Hours and days just trying to get the right side to fire. 79 xs, 120 psi both cyl Valves checked Chain tension checked Points gapped Carbs rebuilt and tested 3 sets which work on other bikes just fine I have the pma on it, so i cant tell when its...

Hi Guys, i have SEARCHED and searched all over the interweb. I cannot find a new set of Throttle Plates for my BS34's. I had to force them out of the shaft and on doing so nicked it a bit. nothing major but i would rather get new ones. Anyone have a spot i can find them or have some laying around?

he passed away? =\ hate hearing things like that.RIP yeah i saw some posts about it.. yes restoring but using pods most likely and pipes are going to be custom.
