Well, don't anybody run off to the corner. Both of you have been very helpful so far.

OK, so most likely those o-rings are good, because we were able to get the carbs to stop flooding by lowering the float. Now I guess it's just a game of finding the perfect level for those floats.

If the carbs are upright, I actually lowered the floats, which would cause the valve to close with less fuel in the bowl. However, if the o-ring were an issue, wouldn't the carb still flood? I'm not sure what you are speaking of when describe this clear line thing.

Correct. The only thing that doesn't make sense here is that the flooding stopped when we adjusted the floats high. Seems if the o-ring was the issue, it would still flood.

Measured the floats with digital calipers. They were dead on. I'm not sure if we replaced the float valve o-ring. I'll have to check that.

Judging from the pics, I would say the middle set looks the closest. (The top set of BS38s) We has the floats set at 24mm, but the carbs would flood and overflow. We ended up raising them a bit to stop the overflow. Something is obviously not right. Just not sure what. My son spent 2 weeks...

75 stock motor. Points. Not sure the carb model. They have the L bracket connecting them underneath, and a bracket connecting the caps up top. They also have the linked throttle.

OK, we tested spark. Getting spark. Hooked it all up feeding fuel through a hanging funnel. Carbs started leaking. Uhhhgg. Checked floats, and they were higher than they were supposed to be. (24mm) Seems they would close the needle early and stop it from flooding, right? Adjusted floats lower...

????????

We have our motor on a stand right now. We have adjusted the cam, adjusted the valves, checked for compression, rebuilt the carbs, installed new condensers, installed new plug wires, installed new plugs, changed the oil, and I think we are finally ready to test fire the engine. Nothing is hooked...

I have a 75 points motor. Is there an auto parts store alternative coil I can use?

Sorry to be off topic, but can you give me some info on your oil filter setup?

Woohoo!!!! Congrats Kups650 and YamSandwich. Rock those pipes guys.

Congrats Kups650. What an awesome tribute. And YamSandwich, dude, you had me rolling. Great show. To Pandamonium, guys, we appreciate what you did here. Class act in every sense of the term. Thanks for the fun and generosity. Truely awesome.

I got an e-mail from them last night, so I figured maybe they have chosen a winner. Who's the lucky dawg?

Also, a local machine shop can mill the center out of that tap. Might cost ya about $30. If ya find a guy who works the night shift, he might do it for a cold six pack.

Now ya peaked my interest. Swap meet. My son's build is going slow. Swap meet sounds like a great way to find some parts. I might ride the VTX out to scoot with y'all if you'll allow a Honda in the pack.

:thumbsup:

Thanks folks. I'm hopeing from a money standpoint, that we don't have to rebuild the engine. From an experience standpoint, I think it would be a blast.

What is the significance of holding the throttle open? What if there are no carbs on the bike?
