Hello All
With a couple of stumbling blocks behind me (most recent being some air box questions) I am so very close to having this ol' girl road worthy after 20+ yrs. of sitting.
Currently, I'm challenged with two issues.... which I'm hoping #1 solves #2.
We'll see, so I won't get into that yet.
Present issue I'm tackling is that the right side carb isn't functiong below 1800 +/- rpm.
So, pilot jets, right?
Last night I have removed the right side carb to revisit all that I had done in my rebuild and clean, clean and clean some more. I found no visable signs of anything previously having been assembled incorrectly. All parts used were Mikuni and all were to stock specs (pilot & main). I studied my float heights from numerous angles to be sure I measured accurately. All jets have been probed with fine wire to see if there was any remaining debris. All were clear and I can blow air through. But, there is one small one on the bottom of the main body that is the end of a tube that runs vertically through the throat of the carburetor to the inside of the carb top. I can run a probe up in it the full length but Im not sure if I'm blowing air through it or not. I don't know where that exits (enters) to atmosphere so I can check it. I may be fine, but I'd like to know more about it before I button back up.
Also, in the pics youll see that the nipple for one of the "crossover" tubes pulls out of the carb body. It's snug, but I don't know if just snug is good enough.
Should AI be looking to get this adhered in place?
If yes, any preferred method?
All advice welcome.
