I need new plugs before I do that. I'll just use the colortune. For now
Is worked!! I went up a jet size and she started right up, without choke. I have her purring like a kitten. FINALLY. I suppose it was the exhaust...
My confusion is derived from the picture of the upper jets, That someone had labeled as the pilot. Thank you for clearing that up.
Which pilot jet am I supposed to increase? I'm overthinking, and need clarification. Is it on the top end under the diaphragm?
I have a jet drill set, I'll try going up a size on the old jets and see where that takes me. Worse case scenario I'm back to square one with my...
My new rebuild kit came in today. I'm going to tinker with that tonight. My colortune also came, so it's going to be an interesting 24hrs.
Ok.....im getting really good at pulling and replacing these carbs. A skill I hope to carry on to my other bikes. I was doing some reading and I...
What size are they?
I work in a diesel shop so I have plenty of crush washers, I'm going to try changing them. But the boots aren't leaking.

Does anyone have the exact measurements of the yics blicking tool? I would like to see if I can make them. Also, are the passages the same on...
Bout had a heart attack, it was a plugged nipple.

Bummer, I hate cliff hangers.
I saw the dates, I just wanted to know if he got it figured out.
How did this pan out? Did you get it running?

Tomorrow I'm going to be looking at affordable vacuume gauges. I'm not too fond of the two bottle thing. I'm also curious about that clear spark...
Ok, progress has been made. after taking It to church, It will now run without choke. But it revs up to 6k at startup and wont idle down passed...
What are the butterfly shaft seals made of? I have the tools to make my own, I just need a material list.
I can't find definitive sources. What are these? Mikuni, or hitachi?
Well, now it isn't starting at all...... I can get it to run on starting fluid, but it won't even put with the enrichment.
My jet sizes were; 40 110

So I just found the set screw by the enrichment plungers. None of them were even close to the same setting. I've put them at 2 1/2 turn, I will...
Probably 3 min. At one point i drove it on the enrichment to see if it wasn't getting warm enough. No dice.
The p.o. rebuilt the motor/carbs and added a 4-1 exhaust. The boots and seals all look new It was stored in a dry barn over the winter. I suspect...
I should still be able to get SOME idle. But I still got nothing. I'll be taking pictures tonight
