Hi, I'm from Eu and new there. Sorry for my English. I modified a Yamaha xs650 1981 3L1. Stock jets, mixture screw 3 turns out. Compression is good. Run open exhaust with silencers inside and pod filters on carbs. After changing to new boots there appears a new problem. Left exhaust produce...
Pilot screw badly stuck in my LH carb ended up with the threads destroyed and pilot still in there. Need a replacement LH carb body, or would consider full carb or set of carbs. BS34 style, my bike is a 1980 but I believe its the same carbs '80-'84. Let me know what you've got. Thanks!
I'm a newb and I've learned a lot already on this forum and am really grateful. My 1973 TX650 is nearly finished as I just completed a pamco ignition upgrade along with new Mikuni VM roundslide 34mm performance carb kit by TC Bros. I have the bike running and have driven it a few times. I've set...
I have a Japense import 1978. XS650 SE with the Vin 447901xxx. I bought him from Old Gold in Londonderry, in Australia. It was running alright when I bought it but I drove it up the road and back so nothing definitive. I have striped it down to frame to repaint and turn it into a brat/cafe...
Currently I have my bike jetted for the 90 degree weather but lately its reaching highs of 50's and maybe 60's. Well my bike has developed idle issues as well as 1/8-1/4 throttle flat spot.
Here's a rundown of what I've got
74 TX 650 motor
Pamco Ignition (original)
Dynatek Coil
NGK plugs...
I've been having a great time over the last two weeks as I become further acquainted with my 77D, mostly stock, Stella. After the first basic safety checks and oil change, etc. I put her quickly into her role as my daily ride.
Most days are 5-10mi, but the last week has given me a few longer...
Looking for throttle shafts for XS650 BS34 carbs. I need the plate and shaft for the right carb for sure but will likely need both. My carbs are 1980 and I am assuming that all bs34's for xs650s were the same except for the floats.
Working on my 1980 XS and found I had leaking carb shaft seals. Ground down the staked ends of the throttle plate screws but could not get the screws out. I tried drilling out the screws on the right carb and fear I didn't get the drill centered in the screw and will never get the threads clean...
I have a set of BS34's from what I was told was an '81, so they have the pull knob choke. They were completely redone by Rick West of OldSkoolCarbs back in 2012, but they have sat in the box ever since they were delivered. I never even got to ride them before I was forced off bikes due to my...

I have been thinking about updating my carbs for a few reasons. Let me know if these are a good direction to stock carbs. As stated in the title I just bought a 1975 xs 650 that is bored out to a 750. I am having some issues with the engine and I am thinking carbs may be part of the problem...
I know there are hundreds of threads about this and I have read quite a few and I have also gone though a lot of the steps in them. But to no avail....
Let me set the scene: '78 XS650E, modified to have pod filters and straight through pipes. I am using the stock carbs (BS38...however going...
Just got done with an engine rebuild on my 81 xs650 special. Started it up after getting the motor back in and its running on pretty much one cylinder. It's getting spark, I checked it on the side of the motor. It's theoretically getting fuel, we sprayed ether into the carb on the weak side...
I' keep getting a mile or two up the road and my plugs fowl out.after playing with carbs for days im starting to think it's more of a timing issue or possible vavle adjustments.any insight helps.
Also might be an intermittent issue with the coil?
Some info:
I'm running 750 big bore/xs...
i initially thought it was something to do with carbs... So had a thorough clean, changed gaskets, checked the main jet size (140... I use pods and short megaton exhausts and the bike used to run well with this jet before)... Noticed the diaphragms were old and had small holes so ordered a brand...
