I'm gonna move the clip on my carb down to the bottom now. It sounds like your bike was Doing the same thing mine is.
Moving the e-clip to the bottom will have the effect of richening up the MID throttle range, will not effect WOT, so keep that in mind....I'm gonna move the clip on my carb down to the bottom now. It sounds like your bike was Doing the same thing mine is.
Thanks for your compliments Bill. I had written this post a while ago and had expected more response since there were so many posts about problems with the CNS carbs. It's surprising the thread has been so slow, I hope at least some people were able to get some helpful info from it.
I am no mechanic, or expert on these motors (yet), I am still learning about them as I experience this and that. I do, however, have the drive and curiosity to work and figure this stuff out, and a background in engineering doesn't hurt either! Although my major was electrical engineering, mechanical engineering was also a big part of the curriculum. I have always had a great curiosity to know how things work, be it mechanical or electrical, and now with computers. These little motors have given me something to dissect, something mechanical to experiment with that is cheap and FUN.
Did I mention FUN? Riding these bikes is just a gas! Almost every face I see has a smile plastered on it (not quite as big as mine!), except sometimes the faces of parents of young boys who know the next words out of his mouth is gonna be "I WANT ONE!" LOL
Thats because this bike is just "BAD AZZ !!! "
Yah, I didn't mention the cap over the mix screw in my write-up because the version of the CNS carb that has the cap didn't exist yet when I wrote it. But that's a good note to add to this thread, thanks...Nightcruiser
1 thing I didn't notice in your article, look right next to idle screw, do you
see that brass cap? take it out and there is an air/fuel adjustment
screw, just read your article quickly so you may have mentioned it
and I would guess that the problems most people have is that they don't
realize the cns carb is like one off a car with both idle and air/fuel adjustment
hope this helps
I'm not quite sure what pic you are referring to, guessing it wasn't posted by me, and I don't really understand what you are saying about the pressure line switch...OK cool.. I found the pic in your bucket that shows a close up & it looks to be the same as pressure switch line on a water pump of compressor I still have to figure out what size will fit the stock carb thread to ¼" Male adaptor
With the air cleaner assembly removed from your carb, the part inside that moves up and down when you twist your throttle is the slide, or barrel as some may call it, because it is a cylinder shape, in this form of carb.Is the barrel what I should see when I twist my throttle?
I think my throttle is wide open, so it wont idle properly.
And Where it holds the valve pin up should be bent down?
Because when give it gas it floods heavy through the waist line.
'excel' doesn't quite translate, for me...Okay, I adjust the valve pin, where it held at broke, but I found a way to keep it holding on. I gave it gas and it actually worked better.
..Excellent! Now get a filter!
How should I get the slide to excel up and down?
There is a groove along one side of the slide.haha, yeah, I believe so.
But I guess I was trying to say is how do I get the slide from being stuck, it works when I take it out but tight when I put it in the cns carb.
Well sure you do!I don't know. someone else told me what you said. and It still gets stuck..
I can see scuff marks every time I put it in and out..
I've tried what you guys said... still don't understand why its doing that..
