Been going full throttle on trying to finish up my build, and 6yrs back I had someone go over my carbs and get them all cleaned and tuned up and got them on and they ran right away. But since then I let the bike sit, and now I am finally trying to get it back going and finally ride it. Wondering if anyone may be local to me (Clayton, NC) and has some experience with rebuilding these carbs. The motor is a 78 650, but I've got two sets of bs38s, and two sets of bs34s. I am more than willing to trade or pay for the help. Just about at my wits end.
One set of the 38s, which ran half a dozen years ago, one of the carbs just lets fuel flow right through, likely the float is set all jacked up, or the needle and seat are giving issues. I connected a hose and gravity fed the carb, and it does one of two things depending on the float adjustment. Either the bowl will not get any fuel into it, or it will overflow and run right out the back of the carb.
So I tried a set of the 34s, and it keeps seeming to be leaking fuel from the fuel T between the carbs, but it may be somewhere else. I can't tell.
Currently the bike is set up with a TV bros hardtail. Pma. Pamco. Kick only. No battery, using a Sparx capacitor. Not sure what other info to put to help. Please I welcome questions and advice. Been a while since I've been on here, but you guys are the experts, and have already helped me a ton.
