Just got some drag bars in to replace the silly stock HB's. Will upload a pic later today of what she looks like.

Yep, two petcocks on a replaced tank of course. Would like to know why the tank was replaced but the PO didn't know that info as well as a bunch of other things. Apparently the majority of the things that I'm finding or knew and asked about either happened before he bought it or he's lying...

Jet, aldo and nj, thanks for the tips on the filters. I'm looking for a good filter that will fit in-between my cabs that is local first before I order something. I wish there was a way to do away with one of the petcocks though. Just no way to get the fuel from the other side of the tank...

Thank you, Sir!

The rough running engine has been taken care of. Apparently there was some residue left in the tank from cleaning it out with the naval jelly and it was clogging the filters on the main jets. I also replaced the pilot jets with the next size up because they didn't have the size I needed. It's...

What Pete said! ^^^

Thanks Blue for the info! You guys have been a great help and I sincerely appreciate it. I went down for the third time to the local Yamaha dealership and got some OEM pilots, finally. They've been out of parts for my carbs for weeks now and had some for every other size. Gonna get it up and...

I had a serious case of rust in my tank when I bought my bike and used Napa's Naval Jelly rust removal. Worked great and it seriously didn't take much effort. Just poured the whole thing in and sloshed it around everywhere and checked it every 5 minutes. It says to empty it out after 5-10...

Thanks 5twins, JR Roxx. I will do just that. Thanks for the tips. Didn't realize that they were that popular in many carbs. Again, thanks!

Couldn't find any BS34 parts on the Sudco website. 650 Central has some but I'm wondering if they are knockoffs or OEM. Hmmmm...... Thanks for the heads up, grepper. I will be calling Mike tomorrow hopefully if he is available to answer questions.

Found one place online called motorcyclecarbs.com that has what I need. Anyone heard of them? Or do you have any other suggestions on places you've bought carb parts from? Thanks for the help so far, everyone. Greatly appreciated!

Mike's is out of the #42.5 Pilot Jet BS30/96 type which is the stock for my BS34's. What would you guys recommend in place of them and/or would you also replace other things as well if an alternate is used? Thanks.

Uhm....what's wrong with it? If you don't like the looks of it, I'll take it off your hands! Just the look I'm looking for!

Oh Lord. This is a rough crowd! Seriously though, thanks for the info though. Didn't know. Was going off the info I got from the tech area under one of the manuals that was posted.

I've got a manual coming but can anyone tell me the gap settings for this bike? Is it "0.7~0.8mm" for the plugs and "0.3~0.4mm" for the points?

Beautiful! But where's the bike? Seriously, she can ride my bike anytime!

Here's a few pics of the swingarm bolt area cropped from the other pics I posted. Hopefully you can see it better. I'll see if I can get better pics later today.

I went for a ride today and on my way home the bike started to lose power as I was on a straightaway. I couldn't get over 3k rpm's. Top speed was around 55mph and it felt kinda like it was sorta chugging along. I limped home and parked it and will have to investigate probably later this week...

Yeah, the chain guard is missing alright. I have one on my '81 Kawasaki Ltd but didn't pay any attention to it when I bought this bike. I'll have to see what I can find on CL or eBay to replace it. I was looking at beauty covers and said to heck with it. They are too pricey to replace and I...

I'm not exactly sure what the deal is with the swing arm bolt. It looks as if it was welded at some point in time. Both sides. I'm not an expert when it comes to bikes by any means so I have no idea why they would be welded. I'll take closer pics tomorrow and post them here. And trust...
