It's funny you mention valves...I checked my valve clearance about a month ago the right side was out but the left side was fine...I'll have a check on the weekend Thank you!

Now to further the issue I went for a rip today and at one point the bike went to one cylinder then went back to two. Also while at idle, the RPM will drop under 1000RPM then come back up and then drop again. As for when the surging issue happens it doesn't matter which gear it's as I either am...

Maybe my posts are going up but I thought I had a list of stuff that was going on ad a list of stuff done to the bike? By the way i never saw anything from you Peanut, before you deleted it and after. OK the issue is this one side runs rich, one side is running lean. That's been the main issue...

So after two days of riding...still no change. Actually with the pod filters off the bike is running slightly worse than with them on. I'm at a loss as too what it could be...

So after running the bike for a few days, I've noticed a few things....at idle the bike sounds great but after a bit the RPM will drop then rise again and once again drop but come back up to a normal rhythm. That is at idle, at speed the bike still gets a little...shall we say surge? I still...

I'll give that a try, thank you

So I switched the spark plug wires to the opposite side and now the big doesn't have the hiccup...but if I take it up too about 5000RPM it starts to bog out. Bike is still running rich though...don't understand that

Last time I checked the rubber plug it was fine. As for pods this is what they look like(I have a photo of some very similar looking pod filters)

Replaced the o-rings and the seats

When we last had the carbs off we checked to see if the choke was sticking and it isn't. Diaphragms are sealed good...yes I believe they are the 34s, the carbs are stock for the bike(other than the jetting), carbs have been checked for sync and are bang on... The other thing is that all over...

Hi guys. I got a 1981 650, relatively stock, I have a issue with my carbs and it's kinda a weird one.... My bike idles perfectly at about 1100-1300rpm but what I've been having issues with is that my right side carb is running rich and my left is running almost right (I checked the plugs and the...

So I'm still having issues with my carbs. Idle is all over the place, never stays settled, balance is good, now I'm not sure what I have for a pilot jet, but for a main I have 137.5, and I think fuel is getting through those main jets and then boom I have my too rich issue. Anybody else ever...

OK , repulled my carbs off, checked them over and adjusted the floats and the needles. The gentleman who worked on my bike previously said I needed 137.5 main jets. They are in. My friends dad took it for a test ride, still acting up. Took the old coil off, and put a new one on there still...

A lot 25% choke makes it idle just above 1500RPM last time I checked, full choke it sits at about 2200RPM. I know for a fact that before the bike would idle at about 1200RPM which is what I prefer.

I should add this in there, if I throttle up, and let go of the the throttle, the RPM seems to hold at whatever it's at and then slowly start to come down. Also had a real hard time coming home from work today, bike actually stalled out and wouldn't start, and when I finally got it started I...

Thanks Leo! When my friends dad and I are taking the carbs apart we will review that!

I have plastic floats. We had to reset them because they were set even higher than they should have been. I'm going to be rechecking it on Sunday so it gives me time to get some sort of an idea on what it could be. Kenny; the carbs have been rebuilt, new o-ring for the seat and new gaskets

I'm using stock ignition. I do have an aftermarket coil sitting at a friends place waiting to be put on the bike. The floats were set too 27mm we went back down to stock height of 22mm...Bike didn't like either of those so we might try something in the middle. They were in sync last time I...

Hey guys, I'm having a issue with my bike. So firstly, I decided over the winter to send my bike to a guy I've been dealing with for awhile now to fix my bike, new seals, rejet the carbs, new cam chain etc... Anyways I've been having a carb issue, the right carb is running a higher mixture...
