    Wanted - BS34 throttle shafts and plates (butterflies)

    Looking for throttle shafts for XS650 BS34 carbs. I need the plate and shaft for the right carb for sure but will likely need both. My carbs are 1980 and I am assuming that all bs34's for xs650s were the same except for the floats.

    BS34 throttle plate and shaft - advice and or parts needed

    Working on my 1980 XS and found I had leaking carb shaft seals. Ground down the staked ends of the throttle plate screws but could not get the screws out. I tried drilling out the screws on the right carb and fear I didn't get the drill centered in the screw and will never get the threads clean...

    dang it! filings in side filter

    I have heard of baking soda used as an abrasive to help seat rings when you can't use a hone to rough up the cylinder walls. I don't believe it will free up the rings if they are stuck in the ring grooves in the piston. might as well get a base gasket and pull the jugs if you are already taking...

    Cam Tensioner Issue

    Here is a bit of history before I get into the actual question. I purchased a 1980 XS that had been stored in a shed since aprox 1990. The story goes that the original engine blew up and the guy bought an engine that had less than 1k miles on it and put it in but never could get any spark. I...

    Issue with advance rod

    Seems strange that if there is a known quality issue that those parts would continue to be sent. Looking through the forums i see references a couple years old. Kind of disappointing. Angus67, Not sure what you mean. the parts were defective, MikesXS sent them, and it seems it is a known issue.

    Issue with advance rod

    I installed a Pamco and new advance that i just bought from Mikes XS and had a couple issues. I thought i would ask this group before i call mikes and complain. First issue was the threads in the advance retaining nut (# 1 in the photo) as they didn't appear to be cut deep enough. It turned...
