So i just got done doing my top end motor rebuild and carb cleaning and am having some issues. First off the bike would only start when i had the throttle at WOT. After it started it was backfiring left and right (im thinking the ignition timing isnt 100%) spot on. Will look into it after i get the carbs sorted out, i pulled them off to clean them and now the bike starts when i hold the throttle open but it doesnt rev and stumbles as i let off the throttle to eventually stall. Going through the carbs i've noticed their not the stock jets.
Cliffs:
- Was running really rich
- Fixed small oil leak behind ATU, reinstalled
- Was backfiring through carbs (sparks, pops)
- Runs very rough now, stalls when let off throttle
- Still suspected to run rich
- Pulled carbs apart, check jets compatibility
1979 XS650 Special
- BS38 carbs
- K&N Pod Filters
- Wrapped stock exhaust
- I can't get the pilot jet out to see what size it is, here are some pics.
What do you guys recommend i do next?
