Hey all!
So... My bike was running decently and I wanted to mess around with it and get my idle smoother with no deceleration popping. Did a bit of research and found that it was most likely a lean mixture, though it could be a number of reasons. So I took the initiative to take off the carbs...

CruzinImage offers BS38 float pairs for 1970-1979 carbs.
Even though there's different listings for various year groups, they're all the same float set...
Started getting off-idle stumbling, hesitation, on left XS1B BS38 carb. Pulled carbs, left carb failed the diaphragm drop test. Plugged starter circuit, still fails. Found the JBM diaphragm was no longer a snug fit on the slide. Easily rotated, easily removed.
It appears that the...
Hey everyone!
I am new here and also a proud new owner of a 1981 XS650. Love it. I needed to clean out the carb and replace some stuff, got a new cable (yes I lubed it up) and a new throttle sleeve and grips. My only thing is, it is not snapping back like it used to, and I am stuck, I have...
I have some BS38 carbs on my 1979 650. I’m looking to ship them out to someone who is experienced in carb work. I just need a cleaning/rebuild if needed while inespecitng. Just a little far over my head in terms of what i’m Looking for. Contact me here or at Tjpirates2014@yahoo.com
Working on my 77 standard. Noticed fuel in the drain hoses. Looked at the heights and they checked out to 24mm. Thought about raising them. With the bowls off, I inverted the carbs. At this point I noticed that one float lowered so much that the float needle almosts comes out. Flipping...
i always wondered this... and I don't think I have a problem....
Why does bike idle high when cold with choke?
I know other bikes do this, I was just trying to wrap my head around why adding more fuel causes this.
74 w/ VM-34's for the record
*I just want to state i have searched the forums,google and youtube and have not been able to find my awnser.
So i have a 1981 Xs650sh stock carb.

Hi All,
So I've been reading this site, the carb guide and watching as many videos as I can about carbs and the time has come to take my XS2's BS38's apart. I should point out that I have never taken apart a carb before...
When I bought the bike it ran but when the petcocks were turned on it...
1978 XS650 with pod filters, straight pipes and bs38 Mikuni's. Just replaced pilot jets from stock 27.5 to 30, main jets from 135 to 140, upped the clip on the jet needle to the 2nd slot from the top, have the mixture screw out 2.25-2.5 turns and had the entire carb sonic bath cleaned.
Still...
Hi guys,
I have an XS650 from '83 with electric ignition. A few months I did an annual check and corrected valves and timing. Recently I start noticing that my left cylinder is backfiring a bit (especially when running idle or when decelerating). Also when holding my hand behind the exhaust I...
hi all, got a needle jet from mikesxs but it has no markings on it, so do I have to trust that I received the correct one or is there a way I can make sure it's what I need, can I measure it somehow? I don't get how there is no size stamped on it.
Hey everyone hope you guys had a nice Memorial Day weekend!
Bike: I have an 79 xs650 bored out to the 707cc with a Boyer ignition system installed to give me the bare minimal wiring for a chopper style bike with a kick only setup.
Issue:
I do have spark. The only way I can get the bike to...
Pilot screw badly stuck in my LH carb ended up with the threads destroyed and pilot still in there. Need a replacement LH carb body, or would consider full carb or set of carbs. BS34 style, my bike is a 1980 but I believe its the same carbs '80-'84. Let me know what you've got. Thanks!
Needing just 1 of the plastic slide needle spacers for the mikuni BS34 carbs. Part is circled in red. Anyone have one they would like to sell or can let me know where to source them? Thanks
