I recently started an xs650 chopper project. The parts bike that I am using is a 78 or 79 I believe (the serial number is 2F0-207XXX).
The problem that I am having is that when I allow gas to go to the carburetor it appears that gas is flowing out of the main and pilot jet holes. When I look into the holes it does not appear that there is anything down there. Should I be able to see a flat head slot?
Also I took apart the carburetor and one of the diaphragms seems to have a hole in it. I can only assume this a pretty big problem.
Does anyone else know of any other common problems with these carburetors that warrants checking?
Thanks
