Yeah, we're not kidding: these carbs need some vacuum behind them to lift the slides out of the way.

[xxspikexx]

thanks guys now i just have to tune and fully sync, new intake boots. and ya it should be ready in January not to mention insure and reg.

[Steve]

... and every once in a while im still getting a hissy noise and a puff of white smoke out threw the intake but no pop

Are you running the stock air filter assembly?

well at the moment i dont have the airbox on it but yes i will be useing the stock airbox. ... i know it would run badly with the airbox off but this bad?

Yes, that bad! I'm surprised it moves at all.

Please put the airbox on (with fully sealed filter element and side panels) so you can amaze yourself.

Must have some type of restriction on the air box side. ... it need the restriction to create the vacuum to raise the slides which delivers more fuel. No restriction = no extra fuel = lean.

Some day ... they'll figure out that we're not just a bunch of guys (and a few gals) punching buttons on keyboards.

Some of us actually know what we're talking about.

Yeah, Steve, the misleading assumption is that all carbs are alike (like that Bayer commercial long ago, "All aspirin is the same"). Now it's spike's turn to convince people that open CV carbs are not the hot ticket.

Now that you know it, too, you're gonna be one of the preachers, er, ... teachers.

now thats a scary thought wisdom is only gained threw an experience if you learn from it.

[Steve]

wisdom is only gained threw an experience if you learn from it.

Good judgement comes from experience.

Many times, experience comes from bad judgement.

im stealing that one. well now i know what im asking for for x-mas new intake boots

[tejasmud]

And you thought you were,.......... "Done".....................

[xxspikexx]

well originally when i meant done i meant can ride it to and from work.. and i just noticed i was referring to a wrong part b4 i need new air-box boots.. i already had replaced the intake boots. silly me i guess the exhaust fumes got to my head

[xxspikexx]

the airbox boots arent too hard i read somewhere on here about boiling them with simple green and that sounds like it would put life into them again and save me 48$ im going to ask for a valve cover gasket for christmas from my bro..

[xxspikexx]

well i bought the new box boots and ya the bike came with the wrong ones look like there from a kawa. new breather and valve cover gaskets, new breather hose the old one cracked when installing the new gaskets it was old and it was cold out.. starts up quicker than b4 and so far when i took it for a test ride there was no lag when i twisted just power.. still a little tweaking here or there but thanks again guys/gals its finally road worthy
