    '81 tubed-tubeless??

    It's time to out new shoes on my 81 cafe. I was looking at the tire sizes and saw that the rear tire said tubeless while the front said tubed. I'm assuming front and rear will take both? They're spoked wheels btw

    Choke/fouled plug q

    Solder. No there won't be any thread with broken mix screws. I did buy extras to throw in after they're dialed in. First time using these carbs since I bought the bike years ago so that's the only time I'll touch the screws.

    Choke/fouled plug q

    Have an 81, bs34. Left plug has been sooty while the right side is brown. Looking around and found the left choke nut backed out. I know the spring is giving tension to the plunger but is it enough to cause a rich mixture?

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    Figured out I'm concentrating too up on the turns since it's such a pain to get my screw driver into the hole. So I soldered an old mixture screw on top of the other so it's easier. Well it worked I was able to concentrate more on the rpm change and got it right. It's very subtle but ended up 3...

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    Ok so checked cam chain which was good, left valves dead on, right side needed adjustment and timing was good. Removed the #45 pilot and went back to the 42, checked the slide assy like 5twins suggested and they were put together correctly but needed cleaning because old gas was built up. Went...

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    Thanks guys for the replies. This is the first time in 3yrs since she's started and possibly 5yrs since I've done a valve adjustment. Probably doesn't need it but who knows I may have done it incorrectly. For piece of mind I'm going to check the chain tension, valve lash, timing then the carbs...

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    Just an update--- while I waited for my mains, pilot jets and idle mixture screw kit to come in I redid my exhaust, cleaned, bench sync and adjusted the floats to 22mm per one of the vids posted. Once I received my parts I threw on the 137.5 main and 45 pilot jet. Threw on the new mixture screw...

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    I wouldn't doubt operator error at this point lol. I am using the stock head pipe, wrapped in header tape. Pipes are extended to mid part of the wheel by using car exhaust. No mufflers are used at this point although I'm going to order HHB baffles. I do remember the holes near the head. I may...

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    Are there better gaskets or head clamps out there? I replaced the gaskets 3 years ago n probably only put less than 200mi. But then again could have deteriorated over time?

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    I was just going to order the o-rings but saw that hey had a kit that has a new pilot, washer and spring. I also picked up some mains and pilot jets along with exhaust gaskets since I felt gasses coming out of the head ports. I'll pull the carbs n clean them today. I did take it around the block...

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    I'm referring to the rubber cap in the float bowl covering the pilot jet. I'm assuming it has to be snug. I can't tell how well they're sealing but yes they're pretty bad

    Pilot plug causing issues???

    Hey all been doing research on my right exhaust popping on my 81. So far I've removed the brass plug and adjusted the mixtures out but hadn't fired it up since it was 2am. Anyway I ran across a post stating that the pilot plug was one of the issues. Is this possible? I was just wondering cuz...

    Wiring up blinkers, maybe I'm retarded?

    I apologize to hijack your thread. I didn't want to start a new one since I have the same issue except mine are standard bulbs and have a new 2 prong flasher from mikes. It's wired the same as yours. The bulbs light but no flash. I have a kicker only and right now I cant start the bike because...
