    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

General carb tuning info

I read that link, but couldn't get a handle on making it. Maybe I should look again.

The way I read it it's very simple. Just a board, 4 tubes, 4 smaller tubes & some connectors + some old oil.

Depends how valuable your time is I guess. Is there nobody on here near you that you could tap up to take it over too for a quick test, I don't *think* it takes too long.

The carbs must be synched well to accurately re-jet.
Otherwise, you may find yourself re-jetting for what may be a vacuum related issue.
The slow to return idle (as long as the throttle plates are operating smoothly/correct throttle cable action) is generally a lean condition but a poor synch will aggravate things.
The slight stumble could be caused by a poor synch. Basic tuning, which includes synching, really must be done so you know any problems are jetting related.
Hard to say without being able to ride the bike, but a "stumble" could also be poor throttle response. Very often with the CV carbs, you need to drill out the vacuum orifice to the diaphragm/piston chamber to improve throttle response. Sometimes lighter springs will fix it too.
Stock air jet may be a problem too.
I'd test at 1/3 throttle and read the plugs before changing jet needle position. But like I said, without a balanced synch, you may get uneven plug reads that just add to frustration.
 
Ok, I'll work out something about synching, maybe a small shop locally can give me a hand or something like that. I did drill the slides per Dynojet's instructions, so the vacuum orifice has been enlarged from stock ~

Would that be the DynoJet 138 or Mikuni 138? :shock:

I am under the impression that they are different sizes and not interchangeable. Yes, they are interchangeable in the sense that you can install the DJ jets in a Mikuni carb, but the DJ 138 jets are NOT the next size larger than a Mikuni 135. Not sure how they relate, but they are not the same.


.

Correct :-D one is measured by the actual size of the hole & the other by the flow rate ! ie a 138 DJ jet is NOT the same size as a 138 mikuni jet the seat where the needle sits is also a different shape & the needles themselves have a different taper

mixing the 2 types will have you chasing your tail for ages (from experiance)
