Bike wont run and I blame my carbs.. Need some help with a few simple question

[madmaze]

black or blue smoke?

well its not blue.. not really black its more like white..
which doesnt make much sense to me.. since that is usually, atleast with cars, combusting antifreeze lol..

well i ran it again just now.. and Its behaving wiered.. it stayes around 2k rpm and then every now and then reves up to about 3.5k i didnt have that happen yesterday..

I can run it fine on the left cylinder but the right one wont stay going without the starter..
maybe something is plugged up again on the right one.. i dont know

From your picture it doesn't look like the carb boot O rings have been replaced. If not, it is likely they will need to be done.

Can you get it to run by spraying easystart or carb cleaner into the intakes?

I have a feeling this is your problem.

Yep, you have air getting in somewhere...... Likely the O rings.

The white smoke - I wouldn't worry too much about for now. They all seem to do that for a few miles after a rebuild (at least mine did). Maybe burning off remnants of carb cleaner, dust out of the headers etc.

mine makes a little white smoke on cool days as the moisture starts to evaporate but yes it sounds like intake orings bad

[madmaze]

what are the intake - o-rings?
the rubber things connecting the carbs to the block??

[twiggy2cents]

you may not have orings im n ot sure but if you do they are inbetween the rubber things a nd the cylinders. from what ive absorbed off this site some have a differnt style with no orings

number 25 in this diag??

[twiggy2cents]

yes when you take them off they will probably be square. When they are new they are soft rubber and round

[madmaze]

ok.. ive ordered the parts.. and brake pads since i need those too =)
now lets see if in the mean time i can tune the carbs a lil more

[salty_monk]

Any "tuning" you do will be wasted if you do have a leak. All your settings will need to change once you button it up with new O rings.
