RECENTLY I PURCHASED/TRADED for a 79 xs1100 standard
dude said carbs were leaking. took apart and cleaned found 2 that had gas in them. one main jet broken. replaced with new 137.5 jets and put back together. after much putting on and taking off. i finally asked on here if anyone worked on carbs. i then got aquainted with the RED BANDIT aka jim aka XStremely XSive.
if anyone needs help email him he is suppurb at helping. he has been a great help to me and i thank you that jim.
anyhow got through cleaning and synching the best i could and still no luck. what is wrong with this thing i asked. i kept at it and finally found the problem. i took the fuel lines off and put my blow gun tip to the gas line i then opened the gas tank LID BE SURE TO DO THIS FIRST then i blew through them i noticed no bubbling from the tank what does that mean you may ask yourself. well simple i had the petcock set at the on position not much gas in the tank so none going through the petcock in the on position. sometime and most of the time it is the simple things that will get you fooled. the fix for me was to put on reserve instead of on position. this thing sound like a great big crotch rocket. but it will probably be a whole lot more comfortable to ride. i will keep youall up to date with what happens from here.
AS FOR ALL OUT THERE THAT ARE CONSIDERING GETTING RID OF THERE BIKE JUST BECAUSE OF THE CARBS DONT DO IT ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE THIS WEBSITE HAS NOTHING BUT PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT KEEPING AN OLD CLASSIC ALIVE AND WELL. THEY DONT MIND TO TAKE TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY TO HELP YOU.
