    81 750 RUNNING!!! But rich.

    When I rebuilt the carbs, I was unable to get the air screws out. I soaked them anyway, and hoped for the best. The bike seems to be running, but after warming up, is a bit rough and smells rich. It will only idle at around 2K rpm, it dies on all other settings. I couldn't find a replacment for the air screws anywhere, and at least 2 are pretty stripped out. (would have to easy out them, and even then....)

    I haven't synced the carbs (waiting for payday to order an hg guage). I have not done any adjustments to the carbs. The "Air Jet" (air box throat) was screwed all the way in, is this correct?

    I have not done a plug read, as I can't seem to find my #&%^$ spark plug wrench, and can't remember the oddball size I got for it. Anyone know offhand what size for a spark plug wrench, and can the be obtained at most auto/hardware stores?


    MORE TO COME (that is a promise)

    I can help with the sparkplug socket size at least. try a 13/16". You should be able to get the outboard plugs with a regular wrench.

      anyone know where I can get some air screws for this? They are still at stock setting, but I am sure the O-Rings are shot. I'll destroy these getting them out. I soaked it in penetrating oil, tried heat, etc.

        You're probably going to have to get kits to get the parts you need, at least I had to.

          My spark plug socket is 18mm.

            Yes, the 'Air Jet' should be seated all the way in.

              anyone know where to find the air mixture screws? I don't see them on the Bike Bandit diagram, or in any of the rebuild kits I have looked at. Any ideas?

                K&L's rebuild kit should have them plus the o-rings the little washer that goes with them and all other parts. My 750 kits came complete with everything I needed.

                  Doesnt an '81 have CV carbs?? If it does, the best price I found was at the dealer for $10 apiece, but at least they came with the spings, washer and o-ring. K&L is the only ones that make them for the CV carbs I think. :twisted:
