Please Help!!!!

I was building my carbs and have lost my xj cd and dont have a picture to look at. :x

I need to know which order the idle screw components go in as my carbs had them all in different orders when I got the carbs

This is an XJ700N and I need to knpw if the screw, spring, washer o-ring
or
The screw, washer, spring then the oring
are the right order


Yeah Yeah I know about lending things out. :evil:
I sure could use some help ASAP :?:
Thanks in advance

 

Hi,

Putting back in order should be :
o-ring
washer
spring
screw

 

thanks Abames, thats what I thought but didn't want to take a chance.

 

no prob,
I just took mine out last night and remember using my spring hook to grab washer 1st then o-ring (after screw and spring of coarse), otherwise i'd probably be unsure too.

 

We all know you know what you mean, but it should read reverse.
1.screw
2.spring
3.washer
4.o-ring.

 

was that a southern hemisphere joke ?

 

Hi Wizard,
sorry but thats why i said
"put back in order"...
you have to 1st put in the o-ring, then washer, then spring and finish with screw.
you've stated the order they sit inplace in or are removed in, i am sorry for the way i worded i just though if he was reassembling i would start the re-insert order. As either would cause some confusion so i added the put back in statement.

 

It wasn't meant to be, but I see what u mean.
But think about it, the first thing you would have in your hand would be the screw & you add the other bits to it.

 

Hi Wizard,
Ok I see what you mean, you put it all together then insert as a unit. I insert a piece at a time, just different ways.

 

I wouldn't be happy about about dropping the o-ring & washer down the hole & hoping it would not get bent or twisted, just me.

 

Hi Wizard,
Again just different ways, I prefer to set the o-ring in and visually confirm it's seated properly then same with washer before inserting spring and screw rather than taking chance could be hung up and i can't see it.

 

Just wanted to let you all know that my carb overhaul went exceptionally well, the ol gal has it again!

I did learn some things..... never, never loan things that are truly important to you (like an XJ cd)
I was also reminded how important a site like this is! I was able to get needed info to finish up my carb job in minutes.
Thanks again for this site and perhaps I will get the chance to pay it back.

I do have one little glitch if any of you folks have a suggestion...
She idles smoth as silk, has lots of power down low up to 6500 rpm but when 7000 rpm comes up it's like I am running out of fuel!?
I rarely ever run er up over 7500 rpm but....it's nice to know you can.

I can only think of one thing, I changed out my petcock for a manual one.
Makes me wonder if it is restricting fuel flow? Other than that everything is stock. Carbs synced and colortuned to perfection. (3X)

 

Hi,
Glad to hear all went well.
and i know what you mean about lending things out, seams all i've been doing this last 6 months is replacing things others borrowed and broke or never returned (family is the worst).

High-speed is regulated by:

The size of the Main FUEL Jet
The cleanliness of the Emulsion Tube's Air Metering Ports
The Main AIR Jet's passage to the Emulsion Tube being totally cleaned
The Diaphragm Pistons rising without impediment to extract the Needle opening more Emulsion Tube Passages.

If you need the Bike to Pull some more after 7,000 Rpm's ...
Bump the Main FUEL Jet up one size.

Being of that sort of gentleman who shops for clothing at Casual Male Big and Tall ...
And only being 5'8" tall ...

I need the Main Jet Bump-up or the Bike acts like that's all she's got!

 

Hi Rick, that emulsion tube is spotless and that carb has been cleaned and blown out floats were set with tygon tubing on the float bowl drains, they are set just a tad low right now....
there is another possibility, the area I live in is 6000 ft to 7000 ft elevation..... that could have something to do with it.

This bike used to usually only get about 40 mpg I will be anxious to see if that improves

Thing is this bike revved above 7k before I started having trouble..... I hadnt reved up like that in the last year or so.
Thanks
