Front Toward Enemy
On staking the screws in, seems like a single shot at the thread line with an automatic center punch should be sufficient. That's how I have done them in the past, on Yammie triples, anyway.
If you're going to use those Mikes seals..............if they go bad.
Haven't replaced mine yet. Have a set of BS38's from a 77XS650D. Doing a jet change to compensate for open intake and exhaust. Sounds like a bit of a hassle. Most of the hassle seems to be alignment of throttle plate to carb body. Where are the OEM parts for this 36 year old machine to be had. Thanks Dirty
Thanks guys for helping out! I got Yamaha seals from boats.net. Got my idle down to ~1000 rpm.
Just to confirm, by "flange part" you're referring to the slightly wider edge when viewing from the side, and it goes away from the carb body?They worked great. Just remember to install them correctly. You want the "flange" part facing out. The idea being that the vacuum created by the carbs intake will suck them against the carb housing, thus sealing the shaft.
