Hey everyone I was looking into the builders exhaust from tc bros but I only have a cheap mig welder from princess auto (Canada) would I be able to weld up the exhaust with any kind of quality or am I just out to lunch? It will be going on this xs here

I had them turned out 2.5 all the way to 3.25 turns and it didn't seem to matter. Now the bike has died again and won't start. I'm going to probably just have to take it to someone as I really don't know what I'm missing

I did exactly that and she is now idling good. Still sputters a bit when I pull the throttle. Might try to go up one size on the pilot jet to see if that makes a difference

Okay so I let the plugs dry out put the petcock in reserve and fired it up. It fired up on choke but had the same issue dies when choke switched off even with a bit of throttle and seems to be starting to foul the plugs again. Only thing I can think I might of done is when I moved the needle...

I'll try that today also. The tank sounds like it has quite a but of gas but ill switch it to reserve and see what happenes

It seems like that was the case I have them drying right now. What is confusing to me is it has all the right stuff now but is basically not able to run without the choke on. I'm going to put the plugs back in after work and try one more time

I just put brand new ones in before firing it up

I have the mix screws set at 2.25 turns and the idle screw I was setting when it died. I've tried to start it now a couple hours later (kick start only)and no luck won't fire up at all. I have a number 30 pilot jet and a 140 main.

Okay I've moved the needle into the number 2 spot (it was at the number 4 spot) on both carbs fitted the new plugs and correct caps and the bike barely even wants to start. I got it to fire up but it won't idle without the choke on anymore and dies. I kicked it over a few more times and have...

Awesome I've ordered those with the right plugs and the 32.5 pilot jets and will adjust the needle to the number 2 spot and fingers crossed

Okay so I'm trying to find the correct plugs and non resistor caps I have found some plugs available from xs650 direct I'll attach the image but for the non resistor caps I'm having a hard time finding any that don't require the threaded stud type of plugs. Does anyone know if they can be used...

Right now I believe they are 30's I'm going to see if I can find the 32.5s

It smells very gassy I'm going to get new plugs (the proper kind this time) and change out the pilot jet to 1 size up (hoping that helps with the slight sputter/ back firing at 2-3k rpm

Well the Neverending issues seem to be continuing. Bike was running better or so I thought... that us until it wouldn't kick over at all this past weekend. I pulled the plugs and they were not looking good. I am thinking I might be running a little too lean on the pilot jet but running too rich...

Okay another update for everyone. I completely disassembled the carbs gave them the best cleaning of their lives removed every single thing I could blasted with carb cleaner and compressed air. (I've taken photos this time lol) got them back on the bike she starts up and runs pretty good. Mix...
