    hesitation and backfiring

    so after all ive done, rebuilt and checked... i really think that the problem lies in a gap between the engine exhaust outlet and the head/flange of exhaust pipe. it backfires from front of bike as well as one side of tail pipe. trying to get it off and the stud seems bent/crooked, causing a...

    hesitation and backfiring

    thank you! ill try to figure out how to test all that. by HT leads do you mean plugs & caps? it has a steady popping backfire from right exhaust only. does that indicate an air leak? thanks again so much to all

    Carb rebuild kit?

    thanks again. its def confusing for a novice. there are no brackets on my airbox. if thats oem, why would anyone remove them? do the brackets just hold them to the side of the airbox or are they also connected to something functional to bikes performance?

    Carb rebuild kit?

    thanks all. one other question-when i took carbs out for first time i realized the carb vents werent attached to any hoses. is that even important? not sure i even know where those hoses are even supposed to run to? does it even make a difference if theyre connected or hoses are even present?

    Carb rebuild kit?

    Total noob getting back at my ‘98 “rebuild “ after taking some time off due to frustration. Finally took the carbs off. Any advice on where to buy rebuild kit(s)? Top jets and main jets clear, but o-rings kinda beat up and screwdriver slots kinda rounded so I’m assuming I should rebuild? Any...
