Sorry guys. Been busy! I changed the gaskets and the needle and seat. I also replaced the brass floats with the Mikesxs floats. I set these at 22mm instead of the 27.3 the brass ones were at. Compression is at 145 per cylinder, brand new exhaust gaskets. I am just baffled and wondering if it is...

Thanks for the responses guys. I will look into these things you mentioned and report back. I have synced the carbs and made sure the intakes boots are good by swapping them around. Problem stays on #2. I am really hoping it is the exhaust gasket, but not sure if that would make it want to run...

1980 XS650 Special with BS34's and the last era of the brass floats. Right side is backfiring upon revving and not getting very hot. It idles like it's firing on 1 cylinder and than when you rev it up it fires on it, but also backfires. I have pulled the carbs and cleaned them 3 times, installed...

Yes, a momentary switch would work fine as long as it is normally closed and opens when you push it, killing power to the coil. Just remember you would need to hold it until it completely dies or it could take back off again. The switch you have a link to looks like a normally open/momentarily...

This bike was a barn find that started on the second kick with fresh fuel believe it or not. I could tell right then it wanted a second chance at life. Modified TC Bros hard-tail to streamline the seat, new rubber, lots of electrical work to make it clean, Gordon Scott exhaust, etc, etc.. It is...

Nobody knows? I am getting a bike from powder-coat this week and these would look sick on it. Help me out here guys.......... I guess I will just have to send the picture to Gordon to build? Aaron

I just had him make me a different set for a bike. I know he could do it, but he is always a couple weeks out. Just thought maybe someone was selling them that had them on the shelf. Aaron

Just curious if you guys know who makes these? Thanks! Aaron

I am relatively new to the forum here, but love building the 650's. What do you guys want to see in a hardtail? I already have an established business and have been thinking about getting into some good quality XS650 parts for guys and keep the affordable prices. I would use 1.125 DOM with a...

Nice......Thank you! Aaron

I have read on here for months and really appreciate all the active members that take the time to respond to everyone's questions. Thanks for that! My question is, I am building my first harness and and am wondering if you should run the main ground cable off of the battery to the frame or...

I agree 100%. In fact, I have been really disappointed with almost everything I have bought from them. Battery box was not square at all, rear fender might have fit a 20" rear wheel. The problem with the frame is where it joins the backbone. The frame sticks way out past the edge of a bobber...
