No... to dark and murky...

Update... So I bought a micro snake camera (which I'm not returning as it's not small enough to fit into the spark plug hole like I was hoping.). It was pretty good at looking at the intake valves though. We couldn't see anything in the input valves nor in the spark plug holes. We...

So the piece must not be brass - I double checked that it was magnetic with the same piece from another carb... That vac idea is really good... I'll try that. I'm trying to find someone who has a bore scope, but they run $700... and I can't afford that right now.

hmmm.. so I took off the carbs again, and can't see it or get it with a magnet. So the silver tubes below the carbs are the manifold, correct? I started to remove it (was hoping to remove it all together, but taking off those silver 5mm allen wrench thumb screws, but oil started coming out of...

What do you mean in the V somewhere?

As some of you know, I've been fighting with my jetting for awhile now.... I swapped out the dynojet stage 1 jets, and put in 147.5's... But while doing so, I lost a brass spacer (from the clamp that holds the carbs to the manifold... I thought I just lost it on the ground.. But now my bike...

Brutus! :D

Yeah, I bought the big 16pc set of these things.. awesome!.. they take such little movement to move the head..

I'll look after this weekend... The bike's running well enough for the trip (I just got 93 miles before the warning light), so my mileage is back up to acceptable. Because I really can't have bad mileage while driving through no-where NM... Thanks so much for all your help! I'd be screwed...

I found one co-op that sells non-ethanol gas, and I get a little better mileage out of it. Plus I like supporting the co-op...

I'll be in Sturgis too this year. I think we're staying in Deadwook from Aug 7th - Aug10th

ahhh.. I did sit and stare at that for awhile... because I have truck jacks, motorcycle jacks, etc.. but if I just jacked one side I thought it's shift and scratch.. so I got 5 neighbors to help pick it up, while one slid the motorcycle jack under it..

This is more of a, "What I did this weekend..." Got my new Metzlers on it, changed the oil, checked the spark plugs, swapped out the Stage 1 Springs for the stock springs, took the windshield back off (finally warm enough here in CO) OHHHH.. and I did manage to drop it off it's center stand...

Yeah, we've been going there for years, so we have a condo right on the main street. It's like $50/person once we cram a few people in, but it means we can ride in the morning, and then drink the rest of the day- walk back to our room!

I'm leaving for Red River, NM for the Memorial Day Rally on Friday - anyone else going? http://www.redriverrally.com/

Nice, so I'm back to basically the 150's I put in before hand... hmmmm... So would turning in all the screws help at all?

THANK YOU!!! So I swapped out the springs, and it made a HUUUUUGGGE difference. Much more responsive, but the 2-4.25K range still sucks. (If I give it more than 50% throttle). I was looking at the jet kit instructions that they installed and they used Main Jet DJ160. Is that 160 the same...

Sorry to keep asking, but I'm leaving for Red River, NM for their Rally next week and don't have time to screw this up myself and then fix it.... Can I just get at that spring by taking the covers off without having to take the carbs completely apart? Or am I misreading the diagram?

Ok, so I was planning on working on it this weekend, but I got confused about which set of springs. Did he mean the "Piston Valve Spring" Page 6-8, number 2? Because the only springs they gave me back where these long quarter size 6" ish springs...

Nice, I'll do that this weekend. I'm running the Dyno Jet Stage one springs. Would dropping the needle help at all?
