OK ... let's just hop down to the Bottom Line.

Here's your own personal, handy and disposable YICS TOOL.

I don't care what Material or Lubricating Agent or what variation you might add to make this different in any way ... the concept is mine. Therefore, I am naming The Concept.

"RickCoMatic's YICS Stuff" (and a better name to be added later)!

Sharp hook the end of a length of wire coat hanger.
Snag the well-trimmed end of a length of COTTON Clothes Line to the wire.
Wrap the splice with a bit of DUCT TAPE to prevent the Clothes Line from coming off the wire.
Undo BOTH Caps on the openings to the YICS PASSAGE.
Pass the wire through the passage and prepare to draw the Clothes Line through the YICS Passage.

After the splice and taped end are started-in ... begin saturating the Cotton Clothes Line with MARVEL MYSTERY OIL. (MMO)
As a cleaner, a fire-proof agent, top cylinder lube and most importantly ...
A VAPOR BARRIER!

Pull the MMO saturated clothes line through the opposite side.
Leave several inches exposed.
Cut.
Stuff the MMO saturated clothes line back in the YICS PORT and replace end PLUG.
Stuff the open side with MMO saturated clothes line.
Replace plug.

Balance Carbs.
Set Mixtures.

Remove "The RickCoMatic Stuff"

I'll come-up with a better name for it later.
Cheap.
Clean.
Safe.
And good for your engine!

Revised:
Just use a real long NARROW strip of T-Shirt tightly knotted together.
No muss.
No fuss.

 

Nice work Rick.... I think I might just give that a go

Outstanding idea. I was thinking of cramming a strip off an old bed sheet (cotton, not silk) next time.

Last time I used a 3/8" wooden dowel rod with a strip of electrical tape down it. Messy, very messy.

 

how thick is cotton clothes line?

 

Approx: 1/4" (.0245 in) -- .0599 cm For you ... we say .06

 

Re: FREE YICS Tool's for EVERYBODY ~~> FREE!!! By: Rick Ma

Not to be a wise@ss, but wouldn't that be (.2450) not (.0245)? Sorry it's the engineer in me! Sounds like a good system thought!!

 

Re: FREE YICS Tool's for EVERYBODY ~~> FREE!!! By: Rick Ma

also .245 inches is .6223 cm but thanks anyway :wink:

 

Quarter inch. Quarter. 1/4" One quarter. .25

The ropes ability to sponge-up the fluid and then be compressed inside the small cylindrical chamber makes it work.

Also, a small amount of Marvel might be introduced to the Intake mixture. Since Marvel Mystery Oil is good for the system, that can't hurt.

When the Cotton Rope is pulled, pushed or dragged-out ... the chamber will be cleaned-out in the process ... and, a sheen of Marvel Mystery Oil left to protect the aluminum and O-rings.

 

Right on Rick.

 

I yank off the carbs and eyeball synch them. Its far more accurate than vacuum and you dont need no steenking tool ...
So I am naming this concept. "Srinaths super duper cheapskate method of doing carb synch"
I routinely do it to 2 cyl bikes and people always comment how I seem to have eliminated the lumpy bumpy feel. 4 cyls are always more forgiving anyway.
The post is in jest, dont mean to be too serious. But the method is for real. I do use it on everything.
Cool.
Srinath.

 

WOW thats a really good idea im assuming you have tried it and works?

srinath does that really work that well and how do you sync without checkin vaccume? do you use feeler gauges and whats the process?? wish i had more expertise on these carbs im awesome at cars but new to motorcycles..haha

 

Rick your idea is AWESOME does that work also? except it would be less work i would think to just take the carbs out and do it srinaths way? What you think of his way rick?

 

SYNC the carbs off the bike using a feeler.
Put the carbs on the bike.
STUFF the YICS Passage and do the Pilot Mixtures.

Remember:
RICH is Good.
LEAN will kill the engine ... over time.
Severely LEAN will kill the engine fast.

Don't bottom-out the screws and start there.
Start TWEAKING with them 2-3/4 - to - 3 Turns Out.

With the YICS Passage STUFFED ... the Carbs will be tuned independently of the others.
TWEAK OUT until you get it too RICH and it starts acting-up and backfiring, coughing, popping or she starts missing and wants to stall.

TWEAK back IN until its smooth.
Adjust Idle speed by using the Idle ROD ... shoot for 950 - 1050
This method will likely be a shade RICH.

You might feel it when you put power-on and it's still too RICH.
TWEAK-off the excess Richness a tiny bit at a time until you get her runnin' like a raped-freakin'-ape!

Be a Pro ... don't try and rush this.
It takes a few times to get it right.

DON'T forget to UN-Stuff the YICS Passage.

We didn't have clothes line at the Worcester Carb Clinic.
We used a Cotton T-shirt that we cut into 3/4" strips and knotted together/

We didn't have Marvel Mystery Oil ... either.
So, we used Olive Oil.
Olive Oil won't explode or flame-up.
Worked GREAT!

 

Bet it smelled great too, kinda pizza like.

 

Robert:

Your signature "Inventory" is starting to look like the inventory of a Used Bike Warehouse!

 

God willing and the creek don't rise I'm hoping to have a garage sale here soon and whittle the pack down to a more reasonable size. Space is just running out. I would have nailed that sweet 82 750 Max for sale last week on Flea-Bay if I'd had a place to put it.

 

Is there any certain feeler gauges you guys use at all for sizes and style?

 

No.
I use the same tool I use for cleaning-out the tiny metering holes. The idea is to "Mechanically" synchronize the four butterflies.

Precision is the key.
Getting the amount that each butterfly is opened precisely aligned to how much the Number-3 Butterfly opens with the Idle Rod is the mission.

Obviously, the smaller feeler-object you use, will let you open 3 just off being closed. Then, get 1, 2 and 4 to match.

 

Fixt for you! :lol: :lol:

What are you eyeballing Jim?
