Hi guys,
So I have a 74tx650a , that is running (never tested out how well) and hasnt been registered for a while (I know it was registered by the 3rd owner before me). So I thought I would give the carbys a birthday (float gaskets were leaking).
So far they havent been too bad but as its got after market exhaust and pods, I thought I would get a keyster kit for it (ordered a 76-77 one as it was all that was available - didnt realise the jetting was so different at the time or I didnt have original carbs))
1) I have a 78-79 BS38 bodies based on US specs (im in Australia)
2)needle is a 4N8 clip 3 being a 74-75
3) needle jet is Z8 being 76-77
4) Main 135 and pilot 27.5 are 78-79
So what should I do? Can I rejet it with the kit I have effectively? Should I rejet it as original (78-79) ? Is there certain models that perform better then others?
Cheers
Shane
