Pardon the expression but it goes like a red raped ape!!
Holy gizmolley....stuck the new carb on, turned the fuel on, dropped the clutch and whammo. It sounds WAY better on idle. I mean it sounds great.
It revs free and easy and much better sounding. I used nothing to seal the carb to the intake manifold. Just slapped the carb on. There are some subtle visual differences in the carb. but I didn't open it up......why?
Anyway it pulls strong - has way much torque. 35°F and snowing and raining so I didn't ride far, but after all this time my bike really goes!!!!!!!!  |

So what was it about the old carb? Did it have a crack in it? It was sucking air from somewhere.

I think the old carb had a missing or blown gasket somewhere... I can't wait to find out so I'll know when it happens to me.
Gee whiz pablo when mine finally fired up, and I rode it around the block, I like to have broke my arm patting myself on the back. Of course I also said thank you to norman about a hundred times.
If anyone has to put in rings, Norman told me the secret and guys listen to it. I broke two because I couldn't get an answer from a bunch of guys who knew. If you need to do that kind of thing ASK here. People here will help you. They won't send you off to read a hundred thousand words they will just help you. And send you right to the information. If its already here.
This place is friendly, helpful and organized so for gods sake ask don't guess.

I see no cracks in it. As I stated - I'm going to check the main jet size with an optical comparator. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
