Anything guys?? I sprayed starting fluid around no change really. But when starting today the carbs blew off lol are they too loose is that the leak?

So im sure you've all heard this a million times. But i couldn't find anything on here that answers my questions specifically. So i have a 1978 xs650 special BS38 carbs. Idles great at first until warmed up then the idle spikes to 3k. when it does this i can unscrew thr idle screw and bring it...

Oh okay good to know. How do you know they are synced

Ok so as for my idle i have bs38 carbs. The idle adjuster is on the left side what is the other adjustment screw in between the 2 carbs

Yes i know lol. And thank you if it has nothing to do with my idle ill leave them alone.

Intresting so if my bike is running good with 40 i can go down to 32 without issues? And could what im doing now cause high idle

So i have a 1978 xs650 special. Ive got ngk plugs with 40mm gap. Is that to much? I don't think it misfires. A little bit hard to start cold 4 kicks or so. It also idles high sometimes. Could that be due to the plugs?

Awesome thanks ill look into that lots of reaserch im not doing it until winter lol

They do come to a point thats just the way these are no rubber on them. I think i have crud keeping them open but i just cleaned it all so idk how

No but i added a inline fuel shutoff valve. These needles are metal tipped not rubber like i see on alot of them. The little pin moves up and down proper so maybe its just the float height?

1978 XS650 special. So i got it going again but now its leaking fuel out of the airfilter again a week ago i had cleaned the carbs. Cleaned float needle and under the seat and that stopped the problem. Until now.

So the bike was running great other then the clutch kept comming loose it was the clutch hub nut i torqued it to spec and got that good to go next day. I try to start the bike. Nothing. I though it was flooded considering i need to clamp off the fuel line on the right side after every ride. And...
