Blinker fluid low
hey guys! Long time no see.
Wrapping up my winter build on my 1977 XS650 and have come across an issue i can’t correct for the life of me.
I’m running 78-79 bs38s btw (yes, correct internals have all been identified and replaced upon purchase of bike)
Started lean on my jetting after installing open side pipes and uni pods and couldn’t dial in anything. Contacted local gurus who have experience in similar setups who helped with recommended jetting but still couldn’t get her running right. Still too rich. The right cylinder (longest exhaust pipe) is dead and won’t even fire but still maintains strong exhaust pressure.
Compression test yielded 143 and 140 btw
I pulled off the pods to look inside to see why I was still running rich after setting my floats to 25 and was surprised to find this.
I had replaced the o rings on the nozzle and greased them as directed.
After discovery I tried the recommended yellow Teflon trick which helped seat properly. Took my time to get proper thickness around the o ring and removed excess to further ensure tight fit. I thought problem was gonna be solved.
Any other thoughts before I order a new set of nozzles?
Thanks guys
