Need the stock jets for a BS38 (77 xs650). I believe that they are 122.5 mains, and 25 pilot.

Yep, valves are dialed in, i have checked and rechecked them (3 times cold). I might see if i can borrow a timing light and check that next. The PO installed a pamco, so it should have been timed correctly then(?). last time i had the carbs completely apart (2 weeks ago) I did a thorough...

Well, just an update. Got new needles, needle jets, and intakes (with barbs) from Mikes this week. put them all on, and no change. getting pretty frustrated with this bike. If mikes had the 34mm kits in stock, i would have ordered one already, but alas they have been out for a while now. i...

Yes, the jets and needles are the correct part number. i didnt inspect the needle jet on the inside, perhaps i will just order new ones (with o-rings) and see what happens. Was thinking that the intake boots may be a problem as well. Not sure why when i switched the needles and needle jets...

Well, pulled the carbs yesterday, and cleaned the hell out of them (carb cleaner and compressed air). Checked the jets for correct size, and condition, as well as the diaphragm. Everything looked OK. Put it back together, and no difference. Floats are correct (24mm), and all the passages...

New Guy here with a 77 too. still need to pull the carbs (this weekend) and readjust the valves (a little noisy at .004 & .006). here it is so far.

Thanks 5twins! looks like the carbs are coming off!

just an update, back from the garage. adjusting the idle mixture all the way in on the left side (good side) kills the engine. adjusting the idle mixture all the way in right-side (bad side), seems to make it run better. hope that this narrows it down. should i just buy a couple of rebuild...

Hi All, Getting my 77 XS back together and have run into a few problems. First, the right-side is running a bit rough (the exhaust on that side is sporadic-strong puff/weak puff), and when revved puts out alot of white smoke. I have already adjusted the valves (.004, .006 warm), and checked...

UPS Ground.

ordered parts on Monday, received shipping info today. not too bad imho.

All of the parts are there and look intact. I did lube the axle before reinstalling it, but i just wasn't prepared for how much torque it would take to tighten it.

Thanks Guys. I ended up pulling everything apart, and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Put it back together, and it would still move. I finally got out my breaking bar, and cranked on the nut until i thought it would break, and that seems to have eliminated the movement.

Hello Everyone! Just picked up a 77 XS650, and going over everything in preparation for the riding season. I cannot begin to thank everyone for the tremendous amount of information here! I have just about completed everything, but one final problem remains. When adjusting the rear axle (to...
