So I have been chasing my issue for a while and cannot seem to get my left cylinder into a normal state. My setup is a 72 with vm34s with plastic floats. Pamco harley dual fire coil, new 5k caps and wires. I have ruled out many things. Valves were set good when I got the bike and have hot...

Looking for a Pamco rotor for the standard ignition. Maybe someone has one that went with the Auto Advance unit.

I have a '72 with '81 updated BS34 with plastic floats. XS performance filters, and just headers. I have been through the carbs a number of times and in need of some help. My left plug is black with dry soot on it and fouling it. I'm wondering what my issue is here. Right side looks good...

I have been chasing some strange things on my '72. I have been through the carbs several times and think I am burning up spark plugs on my left cylinder. plugs are black sooty and failing/fouling. I believe that I have weak spark with the original 72 coils. So I have a great neighbor that...

So my setup is a 72 XS2 with bS34's from a 1980. I have no mufflers and XS Performance pods. 1500 elevation I increased mains two sizes from 132.5 to 137.5 - stock 42.5 pilots - 3 turns out mixture. My question is do I have to increase the air jets on the back of the carb? My experience...

Wanted to share a sturgis pic of a 650. Here is my current status of my 72 that I picked up from a scrap pile. Only difference is the seat I am working on is now a spring solo. I was going to do a tcbros hardtail but like the 650 I saw in Sturgis. My question of the day: I have a set of stock...

If you have seen my other thread about addiction.... So I have a '72 XS2 and I recently got it running. The story is just parked the bike in '86 (outside). So BS34's from a newer model. All cleaned up and mounted. Got it running with my old Harley battery. New Condenser was the original...

So a few months ago I picked up an XS2 and got down to needing new carbs and condenser. Still in the same spot but picked up a set of carbs off a newer model XS so time to order the condenser and clean up the carbs. Anyone know a good place for intake boots? Also today the place I found the...

So I have another thread finding spark and i finally have spark on one side and working on the other, but today I took the carbs off and wanted to get started on them to rebuild or check their condition. On the second one here is what I found in the bowl. Looks like the arms on the...

Thanks in advance! So my project is an XS2 pulled from the weeds so to speak. Been working at getting spark, once I get some spark I will work on fuel and carbs. Here is where I'm at, I have my harley battery with jumper cables to the XS. I have power to the brown on both coils and with my...

my XS2 project pulled from the weeds is progressing! I got my rear drum apart this morning and found some corrosion. Recently I picked up a sandblast gun, do you think that would be ok to use on the inside parts of the drum to clean it up without damaging it? I don't have walnut shells but...

This is a great site. I wanted to take a minute to make an intro. I picked up a '72 XS and have it part way apart in the garage today after a couple weeks i have learned a lot about the 650. Though my motor was stuck but turns out it was just my rear brakes and rusted chain. If anyone has a...
