Dynojet Kits for 1150's and Buzzing Handle bar

Re: Poor Circulation - or is it Mr. CTS?

The throttle return spring on my 1150 is light enough that closing my hand around the throttle grip is not necessary once at cruise speed. On the highway, I commonly ride with my hands open and fingers draped across the clutch and brake levers.

Well when you grip on bars in this wrist position, the flexor tendons in the hand press on the nerves passing through the wrist's carpal tunnel. Pressing on the nerves puts the hand asleep. Relieving the pressure, and feeling comes back again.

Ok, I've about worn out the screws on the stock carburators taking them apart. Whom ever installed the jetkit (Dynojet Stg III) put the needles in wrong according to the instructions. So I put them back as they should thinking my problem is solved, now the bike runs horrible. I have moved the needles so many times I'm inclined to believe that either the wrong jet kit was installed (not for an 1150) or the wrong needles came in the kit. I measured the length of the Dynojet needle and it comes out to 2.100". My feeeling is the needle should be longer than this. When you restack the needles with the plastic washer on top the bike runs closer to what it should. When you put the washer below the needle clip (Like it should be) the plug foul almost instantly. Can anyone measure the length of one of the needles and tell me is this the problem or is something else going on? The bike runs too good(when you shim the needles wrong) for it to have any major problems MIke J

I'm not sure about your carbs, but my GS1000 with VM carbs has a thick plastic spacer on top of the e-clip and a thinner plastic spacer under the clip. I think your CV carbs don't have the thinner spacer under the clip, but THEY DO have a thick plastic spacer on top.
Placing this spacer under the clip would greatly richen the mixture and the plugs would foul.

Keith, on my CV carbs I "assume" I am putting them together right but I could be wrong. I have the spring in first, followed by the plastic spacer then the needle with the "E" clip , then the top plastic holder. The thing I've noticed the top plastic has a small "tit" molded on it. This so called tit fits in the opening of the "E" clip in the needle. It looks like it has to go this way because nothing else works. If you change the spacer arraingnment the spring can almost slide over the E clip on the needle. Granted, these are the first carbs I've seen where the spring appears to go under the needle. The bike runs closer to what it should with the spacer what appears to be out of place but the parts don't fit correctly this way. I also ordered a Morgan car sync gauge so I hope I can put all my problems behine me this week. Mike

It does sound confusing. I don't have your kind of carbs here so I can't take a look. I do know the DJ kit should retain the original parts and the order they are installed. If you can't find a clear diagram, I would post a new topic here asking for this specific info. Many 1150 owners here (Earl, Dink...), so someone has to know.
