I changed the pilot back also, think I will have a break, from the carbs at least anyway

I think I might just take it to someone I couldn’t get it idling well enough to even try and test for vacuum leaks, I checked the boots, they all looked good, I even got the carbs onto the boots super snug Feeling pretty defeated today haha

I hadn’t run into this issue until now I’m going to check the boots now, I put 8mm clamps on which are the same width as the factory ones

Yeah in a bad way hahaha

Okay I went down the the bike shop to look for a part and had a chat with the mechanic, he said if the butterflies are closed and it’s reving up there’s a leak at the manifold boots

Okay I’ve changed the jets back to factory. I’ve now got a new problem Even with the slightest throttle the bike revs way up

I don’t think I can adjust my floats?

The floats are fine and the over flows definitely work

If they’re dim they need a resistor Can easily enough get resistors and diodes at an electronics store, soldering iron, and bobs your uncle

Throttle definitely works It’s getting too much fuel so it’s completely bogged

Plugs are new Only got them when I started trying to get it going a few months back Should I get new ones again?

Nah it’s fully open, it’s got 100ml capacity I’m not pushing any fuel into the carbs, it’s gravity fed You can even see it in the video

It’s being gravity fed I’m just using the syringe as a vessel Tank needs a good clean

I cleaned the slides again, but it only cranked when the fuel ran out, could the floats be too high? I don’t think you can adjust these ones Either that or it was less fuel I’m an idiot and put bigger jets in but I’m gonna swap them back to the factory size

Alright, the issue is definitely too much fuel Once the fuel ran out, the air rushed in and she went all the way up baby See video.

Vacuum petcock is plugged I don’t have a tank on atm so I’ve got a fuel syringe feeding straight into the carbs, nothing stopping it flowing into the carbs except the floats

Cylinders 1 and 3 spark plugs are black 2 and 4 are only slightly dirty

Thank you gents I will keep you posted

If the floats aren’t seating it comes out of the overflow?

Would there be any other things work looking at here, or would you say all fuel related? Could the spark be too weak or the timing off?

Didn’t mean any disrespect, I used the guide already, it was great

The floats are definitely working and fuel is getting to the bowls. I’m gonna hit the slides again and make sure they’re not getting caught on anything

Engine side

I already full disassembled the carbs and ran through the ultrasonic, all new jets and seals. Read the rest of the thread

I’m back! Found some clamps that are pretty close to the oem band clamps, couldn’t find the oem band clamps for less than $200 posted which is outrageous. The airbox was a fucking punish to get in and connected, I had a to rearrange all my wiring to fit it in 🫠 The bike starts and runs, but...

If I was still taking shortcuts would I have spent 20hrs rebuilding the carbs? The goal was to see if the bike would start, which it did. The clamps and new throttle cables etc are on the list of things to get

Hey Brett, I did check and they don’t block the air circuit However I got the bike running a few times but even with the throttle fully open and the choke closed it was completely bogged? All the pipes were hot which is a good sign Also there’s a decently loud knocking Not sure if you can hear...

Alright I’m back! Just so happened the 900s carbs had usable slow speed jet plugs, so that’s a bonus. I got the 750s carbs fully assembled today, they’re looking damn good too if you ask me. I stole the rail off the 900 set too and cleaned it up. Now, I know everyone is going to have the...

I gave them a light hit with some scotch bright to make sure they were moving freely I’ll probably double back on them again though

I could be wrong, but I don’t think they’re adjustable on this model of carbs 🤔
