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.

So with the same size motor and same carbs what's the deal with the different jets? Would that mean this jet combo is fine? is there a way to check what needle I have? because it seems like right now I have a carbs off a bike from 80 not 82.

OK so here's where I'm at now. Carbs were dipped, cleaned, new o-rings, then I synced. the Stuttering is gone. I adjusted the mixture screws to highest idle. #2 didn't matter if I had it all the way in or almost all the way out didn't do anything. Checked the bowl and there's gas getting to it. Fired it up again and it sounded fine. Shut it off went to get my helmet cranked it up and it sounded like crap again. Went for a run around the block sounding like crap the whole way no matter what I did. Came back pulled the #2 sparkplug wire while running and the motor did not change. put it back on and pulled #1 and it died. Took out the #2 sparkpulg and there is spark.

:confused:
I think it's all about the carbs. Have you done any reading on what your doing? The info you give us is all over the place. I got no idea what jets, needles, carbs or idle screw setting you started with or where you're at now. You have to study some, read books, narrow down the issues, then just feed us the minimum info, to get just the one answer you can use. Most of the work (99%) is up to you. :-$ Sleep on it, ideas may come in the dark.
 
Not to be rude just gotta be quick I'm at work. the jet info is on page 2 of this post. The mixture screw and idle screw settings are from basscliff site with the using the highest idle. To get cauht up I've done everything the guys on this thread have told me to do. I didn't know I need to repeat all that everytime I post. I read and search everything I can before posting anything cause I like answers now and you all have jobs and can't be waiting for me to post. Hope I didn't come off sharp just gotta run thanx for all the help
 
I guess the #2 carb is having vac. problems. I've confirmed it's getting gas and the sparkplug is firing. If I crack the float bowl a bit and let some gas out it the bike starts running better untill I shut it off. I don't know what letting gas out of the float bowl would do. But I checked to make sure I didn't put a hole in the diafram make sure the spring is in there make sure it moves up and down. Unless I cause a blockage while cleaning I don't know what all to check on the carbs to make sure I did things right. Aside from the diafram and the mixture screw if you put everything back I don't see much to mess up. Everything only fits one way. And I have no extra parts laying around. And I did everything the same so I don't know why one carb is not working correctly.

Did you set the float height correctly?
 
Well I adjusted it but I don't know if I did it right. I measured the step like your supposed to and adjusted the tab. I measured the other side to double check. Only one was right on on both sides. But I wasn't sure what to do really because reading on basscliff's site it says not to mess with the individual floats just the tab. I should have marked which ones.

Also something I should have marked is that the corner of one floats crumbled little. Not much but a corner is not smooth like that rest of the float. I was reading that some floats are hollow or whatever so that the fuel gets inside or effects it somehow if punchered. Thought I'd mention that incease that makes the difference.
