Keith Krause I have some questions...

[byrdman76]

Thanks for the heads up

byrdman76, I think even the shorty 1-2" float bowl vent lines you're using can allow a vortex effect/fuel starvation problem. I'd remove them. I haven't heard of a problem due to dirt/dust entering the vent ports.
What is this jet kit from SCI you mention? I hope your main jets you ordered are sized like Mikuni jets. Some makers size their jets via different methods. Some by flow rate, some by actual hole size. Maybe you're OK, but I always suggest genuine Mikuni jets. They're made to exact measurements.

They specified them as Mikuni jets but obviously due to the price their not. I'll let you know what I find.

Does Mikuni go by the flow rate or the hole size?

Thanks for the heads up on the tubes i'll remove them when i get the carbs back togther.

Mikuni sizes their jets by how many cc's pass through in one minute.
Dynojet on the other hand, sizes their jets by actual hole size. A 138 DJ jet is 1.38mm.
A DJ 138 jet is approx' the same size as a 130 Mikuni jet.

Your bike looks like it is coming along great. I cant wait to see that brake set up. How did you discover that you could do that or is this the first one.

Here's a picture of mine so far - I have some more body work to clean up on the tank and recover the tailsection but I should have it all back together pretty soon.

Thanks. This will be the first(fingers crossed).

Yours is coming along nicely! Keep posting pics.
