    Carb parts reassembly

    @5twins I will be taking them apart again. Might as well do it right. I've got a decent pair of snap ring pliers that made the job only somewhat of a PITA

    Carb parts reassembly

    Hey XS650 crew, I am reassembling my carburetors and have two questions about certain parts and how they are arranged/ where they go. These are the 78-79 BS38 carbs 1: I can't remember how the parts of this slide needle assembly goes. I already put it back together the way the picture shows...

    XS650 vs. Honda Shadow 750

    Hey, so my friend and I started out riding at the same time almost a year ago. I've got the XS and he's got the Shadow 750. Now I know the XS would smoke the Shadow, but is the Shadow as slow as he makes it seem? I always ride behind. When we take off from a light, he is sooo slow to get up to...

    5twins- thanks for pointing that out! I'll get that fixed. I have one more question regarding these carbs. I think this is the idle adjustment screw (the one in the middle and slightly right): Anyways, that screw is missing from the other side: It doesn't seem necessary, but is there...

    Also, they have brass floats. And where are the main and pilot jets? I can easily find them on the BS34's but I'm kinda confused here.
