Thanks everyone I will check my floats to see if they are twisted. When I measured the floats it was from the inside of the gasket surface to the top of the float. And made sure that the pin wasn't compressed when I measured I richened the needle. I raised the Needle up one, or in other...

Thanks 5twins. Yes i forgot to mention i already set my plastic floats to 22mm, and rechecked them just to make sure. I shouldn't have any air leaks but ill check again.

Never noticed any number but I just took it apart again and seen 5IX11 on the needle and 336 Y-0 on the needle jet. F@ck me I shoulda looked I'm the first place! So now I know I have the Canadian needle jet and jet needle, with the needle one notch up, why is it still lean? The Canadian...

I wasn't going to start a new thread but after reading and reading I'm still kinda stumped. I guess I should start off with the details: 81 xs650 with BS34's pods and exhaust 140 mains 45 pilots mixture screw 2.5 turns out Needles: Adjustable needles i think from an xs400. Moved...

Its a joke Leo :laugh:

Thanks XSLeo, So hold it in your hand and next to your face and use a car battery charger? :D I used a 12v 2a trickle charger and charged in for about 20-30min checking periodically and was good to go

I would have ran Pamco but waited and waited and Mikes never had any for the longest time so i went with Boyer. Paid more for the Boyer too. And then I read about a bunch of negative feedback about the Boyer on this site so its got me a lil suspicious. But so far so good. Currently Im running...

No I already removed my starter. I could run a capacitor but was advised that I needed to run a battery with the boyer to run the blue micro power ignition box. IowaBoy: Are you running a boyer ignition?

Thanks! Ill have to buy a new trickle charger, mines fucked! If this minimalist battery keeps giving me trouble ill look into a Ballistic. As long as i keep my switches off i should be ok

Hey I recently got my bike running but ended up leaving my switches on and now my 12v minimalist battery that I bought from 650central is almost drained. I'm running a boyer ignition, Hugh's PMA with regulator rectifier and kick start only. I was able to start and run the bike but had to...

Hey I'm running this battery but hardly used it yet. I have a boyer ignition and hugh's PMA with kick start only. I accidentally left the switch on and ran the battery almost dead, but i still could start the bike and run it only if i left my headlight and tail light switch off. Does anyone...

Never mind, I'm dumb. It was in 5th gear. Got a dowel pin ordered from a local Yamaha dealer

I installed mikes 5th gear overdrive and it just slid right on same as the stock gear

Oh ya I have a Clymers manual and adjusted the change lever according to what it said on page 80

That's weird?? Because I'm pretty sure i have it in 2nd gear! Did i assemble it wrong?? When I rebuilt the engine I split the case, and put a 5th gear overdrive in. So where can I get one of these dowel pins? Thanks!

Ha thanks! Not sure where it went. ill check my sump in case it fell in there. Might have even lost it during my rebuild. But is that one dowel pin supposed to be recessed like that? The bike is in 2nd gear in the pic and the pin that is recessed needs to catch on the upper change lever to...

So i just finished my bike and a full engine rebuild and took er out for the first time today! Ran good but couldn't shift from 2nd gear to 3rd. Only had 1st and 2nd gear. I assumed it might have been my clutch so i removed the clutch and disassembled and it looked fine. Started playing around...
