This motor sold?

1977 xs650. Bought this bike completely original with 7800 original miles. Fully built bike, only stock parts are motor, headlight, and wheels. Bike was completely rewired from scratch, has electric start and kickstart, new coil, New lithium battery, plugs, wires, custom chrome bicycle style...

Yes we made the box from sheetmetal. To slightly resemble the old harley oil boxes. All the wires are routed through the bottom of the box.

Sorry spud, you owe me a bike? I'm telling my float valves are good. I've done everything you guys have said to do. My bad if it pisses yall off that nobody including myself can find the answer, but this is a f****** forum, could have sworn thats what these are for. Troubleshooting and sharing...

10-4. Peace

The valves and seats are new... From 650 central. And I cant get it to leak on the bench. But if I go for a ride then park the bike, boom. And it's not fast at all.

Yea diaphragms are good, one problem i do still have is the carbs still slowly flooding when the bikes off, I've got the new o-rings on the needle jets and they have been on for over 2 weeks. I went in a 50 mile cruise, and they still slide right out(needle jet). Are they sopposed to do this? Or...

Hey bud sorry my response took so long, yes I actually rigged it up with some 5/16 hose, sounds crappy i know but its inside the housing of the throttle and you cant see it.

Okay guys, my carbs aren't leaking anywhere NEAR like 6x5s0 are. Mines just a very slow gradual leak... I guess the new orings didnt fix the problem.... Looks like in back to square one. And I'm almost positive my carbs only have that one link tube at the bottom, and not that other one over the...

Lol! Their bs38s

10-4 Bunny, thanks man!

Haha thanks bud. And I'll make sure to not make multiple threads from now on.

No prob, I can take pics in the morning... Sorry guys bare with me. Im used to slamming truck, my first bike...

Well I assumed they were actually supposed to seat in there, that the oring was supposed to be INSIDE the bore that the jet goes into. And they easily pulled out. And 650skull, yes I understand, but it seems that people dont reply until I create a new thread. And I cant see what else soda...

This thread is for a totally different problem. But anyway. They both wont stay in, only one of them were broken. So thats not that case.

Well I put the bowls on over night, and they were on there more than snug, and the needle jets are still loose......... And yes they were greased also
