Back away from the bike.....sloooowwwllyy!!!! Trust me, been there more than once working on these old beast!! not that you are in the mood to pull the bloody carbs one more time, but, have you verified that the pilot jets you have are the correct ones?

Meaning, there are at least three styles of pilot jet that look almost identical and screw right into our carbs. the VM style has eight holes total in the side of each jet, wrong one. The N151 style has no holes in the sides of the jet, wrong one again. Then there is the one we need, for some reason the exact number escapes me at the moment, but its B30/96 or something like that, they have six holes in the sides of the jet.

If you have the wrong jets, it will run like crap most definitely. just last fall there was a fellow in Indianapolis ready to pitch his machine as well, SWMBO was ready to fry him at the stake, we talked and figured he had the wrong jets, stopped by and helped him go over the carbs, he got the right jets in, and runs like a scalded dog.

Ok so tell us a bit more info. What yr bike and earlier or later carbs. Do you know the jet sizes, how many turns out on the mixture screws, pods or airbox, stock pipes etc. Give us something to think about here so we can offer up suggestions.

[trdriver71]
