Stock exhaust & stock air cleaner now. What should all the jetting be and what part number imulsion tubes should I use? Also, should #2 & #3 be jetted one size larger than the outside cylinders? I have a multitude of carb parts and need to sort out the correct set up. thanks

Jetting
Stock 1979 XS1100SF as noted on service data sheet.
Carburetor - Mikuni / BS34-II / 3H3-00
Main Jet / Pilot Jet 137.5 / 42.5
Needle Jet / Jet Needle-Clip position X-2 / 5GZ6-3
Slide Cutaway or Throttle Valve 135
Float Level 25.7 +/- 1mm
Idle RPM 1100 rpm
CO% @ idle (Diagnostic Use Only) 3 +/-2%
Needle Jet, Main Nozzle or imusloin tube is an X-2 but parts list
shows different part # for carbs 1 & 4 (2H7-14941-02-00) and
(3H3-14941-02-00) for carbs 2 & 3. Both part # are X-2, 1 & 4
(2H7 Standard part #), 2 & 3 (3H3 Special part #). I have just
taken my carbs apart for repair and I can't see any differences
between the 1 & 4, 2 & 3 tubes.
All 4 carbs use the same jet sizes.Do'Lee

Would you please count how many small holes (5) or (8) along the side of the tube? I think (along with Pro in Olympo) that the number of small holes impacts whether the two inside cylinders run richer or leaner. We believe this is the difference with part numbers. thanks in advance dewDEW

Blaine's XS 11 Carb FAQ thread page 9 states that emulsion tubes with less holes (small holes on sides) will make it richer (less air) and more holes with make it leaner. Pro from Olympo, what is your thoughts? How about anyone else too as I would like to confirm and save this information as I am getting up in age and don't remember too well anymore!DEW

Hey Dew,
I concur with the more holes=leaner. I rebuilt a bank of 79SF carbs, and found the same difference, and I put the more holes tubes in the #1 and 4 positions, and the less holes in #2,3.
I think this was Yamaha's first attempt at trying to cool the center cylinders with slightly richer mixtures without using different sized main jets. In the later years, they started using the same emulsion tubes, but different mains, ie. 110, 120, 120, 110.

Could mixing up the tubes create mid range problems? I.e., #1 and #2 lean and #3 #4 rich?
Wonder if in rebuilding I've mixed the tubes. I didn't look to see if they had the same number of holes...

I just ran into the same thing while taking apart 2 sets of carbs to make one good set...I put the tube with less holes in all 4 carbs..thinking the po might have put the wrong tubes in...the bike runs good..but do you think i should pull the carbs and put the tubes with more holes back in the #1 #4 carbs...will it damage the engine to run it with the tubes with less holes in all 4 carbs?

"... the hole truth and nuttin' but the truth."
The whole hole thing was to help the inner two cylinders run cooler... not that it was more than a few degrees different in the first and second place. The hole bit was also for emissions, I believe, but only one of those diagnostic gizmos would ever know the difference. Not really too much difference between engines in most models, but they clowned with the emulsion tubes anyway. My 79F has all the same tubes. My79 special has the differing ones. This is a non-issue fer me, but I'm sure that someone will write and slap me around."Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!' ('Bones' McCoy)
