Yep, I re-aligned the marks and everything seems ok now. I haven't ridden this bike much but so far so good, thanks!

Yeah Ive been slacking the cable before doing the adjustment and also riding the bike 15m + so everything is warmed up.

Its out of adjustment enough that its a bit difficult to downshift. I wonder if I just need a custom cable, Im running flanders flat track bars and bought the longest cable I could find, its barely long enough

Sure didn't line that up, thanks! Only reason I replaced it was the clutch seems to go out of adjustment every 200 miles or so and was hoping it was just a worn push rod. Guess we'll see

I installed the mikes xs single piece push rod but now the bike is difficult to get into gear and seems to creep forward while stopped in gear with the clutch pulled in. When I installed, I reassembled the clutch and am thinking maybe I overtightened or under-tightened the clutch springs/bolts...

Interesting. for me I've never needed the choke on the previous bs34s or the mikes pwk carbs unless its <50 degrees. We'll see how the cold start is on these tomorrow, today I used it but it also fired right up at 3-4k.

Thanks this made me think about how old the gas was, I have an aux tank so tested with that

Today I tried 1. replacing the gas (it was about a month old) 2. replacing the float bowl bolts with longer bolts 3. double checked the float height 4. replaced one of the intake manifold gaskets The bike starts and is running about 90% still a little bit of a hanging idle but Im able to...

I should also mention I was able to ride it up and down the street and it seemed almost normal last weekend but I was tuning and test riding in the rain. Maybe the rain was blocking a vacuum leak elsewhere? The day before I put these carbs on my neighbor backed into my bike and knocked it into...

Got back out there today now that the rain has stopped. I replaced the choke dust seals and all 4 throttle butterfly seals and ran the carbs through my ultrasonic cleaner. The bike still only starts with the choke on even with #45 pilots and the mixture screw 3 turns out. It was 20 degrees...

haha eventually I would have replaced everything and it should just work right?

Interesting so looks like these '80 carbs are '81+ since the drain plug is off the side, explains why they also had the plastic floats. I ordered some new intake manifold gaskets, choke seal and throttle seals hopefully that does the trick.

Interesting, so these carbs I believe are off a 1980 special but they had plastic floats. The only reason I changed them was bc they were a bit corroded and the pins were sticking. Here's one of the new carbs:

Is there a way to test for vacuum leaks in the carbs themselves maybe around the choke?

Ok will try thanks. I checked both diaphragms and they look new, also removed and reinstalled when cleaning.

Ok so I decided to get another set of carbs. The ones I had were off a '82(?) black bs34's. I got a set of bs34's off an '80. I swapped over the jets and floats from my other set of carbs, I'm running a #45 pilot and cleaned these new carbs 2x and synced them. They are in great shape but the...

Thanks for all the feedback, I will give everything a try here and turn the idle up a bit

It's a bit higher now which occasionally seems to help avoid the stalling issue, around 1800rpms

Still no luck, rides fine but when returning to idle just randomly cuts out. Rode the bike for about 80 miles the other day, no issues aside from the stalling once I return to idle. I installed a new rotor, plugs, and coil, the charging system and battery are new and working properly. I went...
