Haven't looked yet, but the former owner sold it because he couldn't kickstart it. So what you are saying could be true.

Last year i bought a xs engine with a baseplate under the cylinders. All the previous owner knew, that it was 840 cc. Anyone seen this before, or know what i've got?

Yes

Anybody did this? What is your jet/needle setup?

Completed my front end. R6 forks, YZF750 calipers, FZR600 rotors, 3.5 inch KTM rim on XS hub and a Heidenau K73 tyre 120/70/17.

I'm from Burgm Frl. My next project will be a R6 fork. Will alse have to make som disk spacers. Were yours 14.5mm also?

Hi, i'm from NL too. My XS starts 1st time on choke witch CVK's. What needles and jets do you use?

Removed the carb after idling. There was condensed fuel in the inlet. Since the left runner is the lower 1, i guess that one aucks up all the condensed fuel. So grizld1, i think you were right! For now, back to the BS38's!

It's stock.

I've read it all, but doesn't cover my problem.

Did some testing today. Took the bike for a drive. From 2500 rpm, the bike runs real smooth and pulls great. After a 10 minute drive i measured the temperature of the exhaust. Left is about 15 C colder than right. Took the aparkplugs out, both are dry. Left a little darker than right...

Thanks for your answer. Mu other disign was with a short left runner, like most use. Compression was meassured cold. Will do with a hot engine tomorrow.

In my other design they were level.

Comp left 110 right 120. So a little low. Black smoke from left exhaust. Sparkplug is wet on the left.
