N8 (168) The needle itself is SF-21 Mike knew right away that set up was wrong. I have no clue, never had to change needle and needle jet.

The needle jet, also referred to as the secondary main jet slides right out after you remove the main. That's the problem with my application, its to small. So is the needle. I've never had to ever change these but I' fitting them to a custom application. I needed Mike Morse's help to match up...

So everyone is on the right track and I want to thank everyone trying to help. I got a hold of Mike Morse today @ 650 Central. He seemed to know right away the throttle valve, also referred to sometime as the secondary (main jet) is way to small. The throttle valve was a 2.5 and the needle...

Appreciate the advice. Yes the floats are independent. They do work with the tang/arms. Last I remembered the tag was flat, I never measured anything. When I first put the carbs on, stock jetting that came with it the bike shut off mid range then again WOT. The bike would barley move. Larger...

I removed the air jet. Its a little better. but WOT its being fuel restricted still. I have to figure out why at wide open throttle only the bike bucks and surges. All the way up the throttle opening its runs strong and pulls hard. It doesn't matter the rpm I open the throttle fully, it acts...

Sorry, the Carbs were bought on Amazon about 3-4 years ago when we started restoring them.

We built two of these CL's and my friend got those carbs on eBay cheap. It is a mechanical circuit issue, I did not see those jets on the mouth of the carb, that is the problem. I will mess with it tomorrow. The ignition is electronic, I set the timing on the mark. The coils are new updated...

Dude, your the man.....never thought about that!!!!!!! Thanks man!!!

I don't know what you mean exactly about smooth advance. Advance to me is a term for engine timing. If you mean smooth throttle transition from idle, 1/4 throttle, half throttle to 3/4 throttle yes, very smooth and revs high and pulls hard. Because this carb does not belong on this bike and I...

I'm not sure your still on this board. I need help with jetting. I'm stuck on a jetting problem. Have VM-28 mikuni carbs on a 1968 Honda CL 305cc The carbs are fine until wide open throttle. It dies, it either bucks and surges or bogs. Up to 3/4 throttle the bike rips. I went 15 sizes main jet...

I haven't been on this site in a while. It's a shame ADMIN will not post this as a sticky after I've asked them to. Now this thread has helpful post has tuned into a hub thread. This site now just emailed me there was a new post, that's good its done now. Thanks 5 Twins for all your help with...

While its important to have that perfect, if it where me personally and it was only one spring I would let it go and use it the way it is.

I guess photo bucket wants to charge me now to host free pictures to help people. It's pretty simple, if you push your starter button and it just spins, doesn't engage the starter gear its easy to take the starter gear off. The spring will be attached. With the spring attached on the gear...

My own experience with Mikes over 10-15 years..... right before they sold I get screwed on a $300 order..never got it. Send emails nothing...I wrote it off. I posted on the other board and was ripped a new butt hole for defaming Mikes, this was about 4-5 years ago. A few weeks later I was...

A new motorcycle movie out called "Why We Ride".....I saw it last night, it's well made and up to date. A little to touchy felly for me but good. http://whyweridefilm.com/

Good thing I get an email when someone posts... Only do it with the spring on the gear already and in place.. than tighten in a vice.

Simply AWESOME post. AWESOME documentation. AWESOME Talent. If you build another project bike consider using an older Triumph 1099cc Speed Triple engine. Most powerful compact engine you will come across.

No you can't make it too tight no matter how hard you squeeze in the vise, the spring will disform first and loosen actually. The more tension the better it engages. Just don't over think it. Just squeeze it in the vise and snug up the spring weather new spring kit from Mikes or OEM or the...

Yes..Yes!!! thats what I meant..Thanks 5Twins :doh:
