			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey all. Helping a friend with a 1981 XS1100LH. He's been messing with the carbs for years, and so did the guy before him.<br />
<br />
Question #1<br />
<br />
PODs and 4-1 exhaust. Where to jet. From what I've read 117.5 / 45. Or should I just up the mains x2 with a 115?<br />
<br />
Question #2<br />
<br />
Somebody replaced the pilot air jet. It's aftermarket 190. OEM should be 185. Parts diagram doesn't show it. And this aftermarket one might not look exactly what the Mikuni jet looked like. Where do I get the correct 185 pilot air?<br />
<br />
Question#3<br />
<br />
Needle jet is correct (X2) but looks a little corroded inside. Not sure if I should replace them. The needles are aftermarket with no markings (does dynojet have markings?). The specs show (see attached) correct needles are 5GL16. Yamaha part discontinued and can't find it anywhere. I guess I need the next best thing.<br />
<br />
I'd really appreciate any input. Thank you.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded>Has anyone used a tank sealant before, the type that you pour in and slosh around the inside. The reason I ask is that I picked a reasonable condition tank, without any dents or filler but a little rusty on the inside. Put the jet washer in and created a few pin holes in it luckily all-in the same place on the underside. I can patch weld it ok, but there could be a few pin holes and thought that fuel tank sealant would be the answer. Any tips, or things to avoid would be greatly appreciated. Cheers </content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Over the winter I installed a new handlebar starter switch from MikesXS.  Worked fine.  Recently I did the carbs and still the switch worked fine.  The battery was old and crappy but it got the bile started with the charger connected.  Now the fun part - I put in a new battery, turned the key, pushed the start button and nuthin'.  Ignition and neutral lights came on, weak horn and signals so I connected the charger and still nothing with the key.  Shorted the solenoid with the key on and it fired up nicely.  Turned the key off and it just continued running.  Had to choke it to stop it.   Any words of wisdom out there?  Thanks in advance.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey, Team! Dragging up an old thread, and hoping to consolidate the info into this one here. My BS34 carbs work great. But, I'm contemplating going the ZRX1200 route, as I plan to keep the bike forever, so why not treat it to some modern carbs? I understand the following:<ul><li>The carbs need to be re-jetted</li>
<li>The carbs are not spaced perfectly, but close enough</li>
<li>The carbs need a choke kit fabbed and installed</li>
<li>The carbs need a vacuum port drilled (TAD's thread)</li>
</ul>My questions:<ol class="decimal"><li>What about the ACV system at the end of the carbs with the electrical connector? What do you do with that? Is there a block-off plate if you remove it?</li>
<li>Would the RS36 carbs from the Oz site be any better or worse than the ZRX carbs, besides cost savings on the ZRX carbs?</li>
<li>Is everyone staying with the modified single throttle cable, or did anyone go with a push/pull cable?</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Good Afternoon from a cold, blustery but sunny England.<br />
<br />
Has anyone had any joy in fitting an oil cooler to an early 1100. I have picked up the oil filter adapter plate, just keeping my eyes out for a cooler. I am also thinking about fitting a cooler from another model. The mounting brackets I can fabricate fairly easily, the hoses I can get made locally. Any suggestions? <br />
<br />
