It runs perfect now. Had a hanging idle at 1-1/2 turns out so i made the mixture adjustment 2 turns out on each and it solved it. No more hesitation or stumble. Idles very smooth and accelerates perfect. Carbs definitely in sync. Almost every part of this bike is from different bikes but it all...

Yep it has brand new uni pod filters and the stock pipes are cut so basically a straight pipe. This has to solve the problem! Gonna get the rest of it together now and try to start it.

I see a #2 on that needle jet so i think its right. Found a big problem too, the small washer that was supposed to be under the e clip, was ontop of it. This made the needle sloppy and loose and not even have any spring action to it. Just reinstalled em right and about to put em on. It has 140...

Great info. Super useful. Just took the slides out and I do have the 502 needles in there. The 76 needles were shorter and silver in color. I still have em in a parts bag. These 502 needles poke out just past the needle jet, the others would have been way too short so That mistake is ruled out...

Nice thats the exact pic ive been looking for. That 78-79 slide is what i have in the 76 carbs. i have that exact spring loaded setup with the thick plastic spacer ring and thin metal washer below the e clip with that needle retainer plate and all that. So will this slide setup work with the...

Great thats good to hear. I did make sure the needle is the correct # and got that z8 needle jet too. The needle is the type that has that little donut shaped plastic holder btw. Cant find much info on that little donut spacer thing but im sure you know about it. What years used that little...

Ok then im not gonna worry about that pilot screw. I have 2 xs650s and the one in my profile pic has bs34s and that bike runs perfect. This other one i have has a set of bs38s i put together with misc parts but now that im thinking of it, i may have not put the vm22 pilots in. Just noticed the *...

From what i heard, the 1976-77 bs38's dont have an o-ring and little washer against that sping on the pilot? Im having a problem where the bike hesitates and breaks up down low when its accelerating. I noticed the pilots looks like they had a tiny bit of gas around them as i was trying to adjust...

How did you fix the problem? Im dealing with the exact same thing right now. Going to look at the advance rod assembly again and make sure the pins line up and all as 5 twins said

Ok cool so its a special and if specials all use the same caps thats good. So if i shouldnt get one from mikes xs, does anyone have one for sale laying around? Or am i gonna have to ebay it lol I also lost the tiny hinge pin clip like an idiot so i guess i need to buy one for 10$ on ebay

Anyone know? Trying to get the correct gas cap. Thanks!

Ill figure out a way without welding and cutting but anyone got any ideas?

Anyone know what can be causing it to run on 1 cylinder when i start it up cold choked? Starts first kick i leave it choked for a few seconds then right when i turn off the choke the 2nd cylinder fires then it runs great

I dont remember what they went to. I Looked through the schematics and cant find them. someone have an idea? Thanks!

Anyone know how many washers go behind the weights of the stock mechanism? I know i can get the clips and spring but where can i get a little washer if im missing one?

Thanks! i need a double coil then and can i use the solid state regulator and rectifier or do i need them seperate?

I have a 79 engine im building and a 1981 frame in my shed. The ignition box i pulled off of my 81 frame, since that piece is garbage what other major components do i need besides fuses and relays to have a full pre 80 system? Also do you know how many little washers go behind the weights on the...

Can someone tell me exactly what else i need to have a full stock charging system? This is what i pieced together so far. I know i need a flywheel, a reg/rec, a battery, i have a stock coil already mounted on the old frame in my shed. What else do i need? Also where is the pickup coil? It doesnt...

The head of this screw is perfectly machined down for some reason. can i leave it how it is? I wouldnt want to blow up the engine so just want to ask someone that would know because i think this piece that the gears go on is fixed into the case but im not sure. thanks!
