bobber project! stopped in my tracks

[cowboyup3371]

Hey, by the way...CLEAN THE CARBS BY DIPPING THEM not just assuming you can look at the bowls and one or two of the jets and say they are clean. Really get them soaking and then spray additional cleaner through there. Trust the guys above who are telling you this and the jetting points since they've been through this a thousand times.

Welcome to the forum. If you are really serious about getting them right then do it.

ahaha awesome!!.
im sure alot of people could say the same on this forum!
i guess ill go ahead and order some but i just cant seem to figure out how to add on the drain screw o-rings
weirdddddddddddd..

also, again about the dynojet

good/bad..

wondering what stage I should go for.


because i feel like im in the mood to get them riiiiiiiiiiiggggggghtttt......NOW

DJ are the BEST pre-fabbed kits on the market.

My feeling is that you are looking for the Stage 2 kits.

The Stage 3 kits would be for the bike that hasd pods AND an after market 4-1 pipe.

Take a good tour of their site and look fo what is suggested by them for your set up.

You could also ask for a little advice from the four on jet sizes and if lucky, get them from someone here in the parts section OR through a PM.

Really can't get much easier.

Go to the order page, select the kit that you want.
HINT: It's the second item on the list, now that we see you are from BC, it's called CV 'BS' series carb O-ring kit.

The very next line says: Bowl drain O-rings (only with CV Carb kit purchase)
Click the button next to it to add it to the cart.

Proceed to checkout.


Do you need directions to your nearest Auto Zone, Advance Auto, Kragen, Shuck's, Pep Boys, Checker, NAPA store to find the Berryman's?

Oh, yeah, we call it "dipping" the carbs, but it's really "SOAKING" the carbs as you put them in the can and leave them there for 24 hours.

Hi,

For what it's worth, I have purchased a set of O-rings and fasteners from or friend Robert Barr at cycleorings.com. These are your carb's best friend.

I also apologize for not addressing one of your original concerns. But as others have suggested, if you bike was not runnunig right with stock jetting, stock airbox, stock air filter, etc, then there is a good chance that old gas has evaporated and left varnish clogging the narrow passages of your carbs. A thorough cleaning is in order.

Go through the maintenance lists in your "mega-welcome". You'll find links to guides with the proper procedures. Check my website for other maintenence tasks that I have learned from these experts and documented with lots of pictures. Don't you worry, we'll get your bike sorted. Keep us informed.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I should start putting my pictures up of my bike so you guys can have a look at my progress. i just have to remember to bring my SD card from the shop...

anyways thanks again for the help until next time

I wanna see!

[derekp]

ya there are a couple pictures on my profile

that was the first week I got it. I got all excited right away and cut the back part of the frame.

...then I decided that I would work on the mechanical side of things so i didnt put any money into a lemon.

after the carbs are done im going to install some steel braided brake lines and start looking for some cool aftermarket turn signals.

Ive already grabbed a set of new drag bars from a local dealer. might try and look for a newer throttle and a smaller set of levers.

im thinking of doing the tank matte black with a red pinstripe around where the origonal would be.

let me know what you guys think. ive been taking pictures almost everystep of the way so maybe ill make a project thread soon!

Check the float levels.and make sure diaphragms on the slides return slowly when lifted, and all four act the same. When you are checking the float levels make sure brass tube with the tiny holes (the needles slide inside) is clean, sometimes it is not removed from the carb body and cleaned.
