That last picture of norman holding the throttle assembly is the one that should have been in the instructions. If it had I would not have wasted a month on the darn thing.

This thread has helped me a LOT. The warning on the float lever arm is key. But then again the factory setting may suck............

what is the other small tube on your intake for?

 

[Steve Crutchfield]

I also want to know what the tube on top of the intake is for. looks snazzy.

Boost Bottle connection...

 

[Norman]

it was for a bootle bottle which none of my bikes have anymore I now have one plugged and the other welded shut waste of money for a bottle get a pipe for the exhaust money better spent and you won't have to mess up your intake.
I make an adjustable bottle that would go from 10cc to over 100cc and used differant lengths of tubing along with bottle straight up and horz. with no gains it would idle slower and sort of smoother but then it would idle so slow that it would die and when off the throttle it took a while for it to come back down to idle. Hard to start when it was cold outside so I don't like them but some people do. I might still have a bottle laying around you pay the shipping and you can have it.

Quick question. How mych play should there be in the throttle cable. There doesn't seem to be any slack in the cable at all is that wrong?

 

[misteright1_99]

I keep about 1/8".....

 

[Neko]

So I should get alonger cable? I have loosened at the handle and at the carb. I have given her all I got captin. lol

 

[Bikeguy Joe]

If it idles O.K., you won't nned the longer cable.

Ya know I've never owned anything that had a carb with a "tickler". So, is it just a way to prime the engine by depressing the float to allow more gasoline into the carb ? It seems like it would create a condition like slightly flooding the engine a bit so you have a rich start condition.

When I was a kid there were some older guys with Cushmans and "Mustangs"
that I would see reach down and hit a "prime" two or three times before kicking
the starter. I once watched this guy who had recently purchased one of these old bikes and was kicking himself numb. I'm with my mom and at like five years of age point out to that part of the carb (as I'd seen these other guys press on it a few times) and the guy looks at me dumbfounded. So he does it and kicks the starter and it starts. He pulled out looking at me in shock.

So.....is this tickler a primer or what ?

Re: Carb pictures how to

Hi Norman, Can you tell me the best way to adjust the throttle adjustment area? I put a new carburetor on last night. That made my leak go away but I have lost a lot of power. I tried screwing the throttle cable at the carb in more but it only made it worse. Now I'm thinking of going the opposite way.

Can you give me any helpful hints on this?
I would sure appreciate it!
thanks,
john

to take the skack out of the cable lengthen out those areas. what this does is make the outter housing longer in relation to the inner cable.
