harbinger of death

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help!

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody knows a place to get high temp o-rings (napa, autozone, carquest, or any auto chain) or do I have to order them from toomey?

jets at rocky mountain are 2.25 each

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to first check for burnt or broken wires, then ohm everything cold and see what I get for readings. The manual gives specs at 68 degrees so thats why I'll check it cold first. I'll post up if I get it figured out.

I'm going to go through my manual and check on ohming different parts, but I don't know if it makes a difference if it's cold or not. The guys on here have been through pretty much any scenario possible, so I'll wait for someone to reply. Had to happen to someone else before.

Hey guys, I went (or tried to go) riding last weekend and had a problem with losing spark. It would start fine, idle fine, and for the first 5 to 10 minutes run fine. After that it would start bogging and eventually just die. I pulled the plugs and had no spark. This happened saturday and sunday. It seems like as it got good and warm then I'm guessing either the coil or cdi is failing. Thanks in advance for any advice.

When I got my 03 with toomey t-6's on it the instruction manual for the pipes said some b.s. about an inherent sputter in the midrange due to the harmonics of the incoming charge or something retarded like that. I looked for the manual for exact wording but can't find it. I think it's just because they couldn't get the taper right on the needles that they send with the pipes. I never messed with it too much other than moving the clip position, which didn't really help. If I find my manual I'll get an exact quote for you.

Hey, you got enough cash now so just get a new one. Just kidding, good luck.

According to the yamaha service manual the reeds should sit flush or near flush against neoprene seats so if you have a gap they're probably shot. You should get a yamaha or clymers manual, all the specs are in them.

Do you shut the fuel off when not riding? I've seen raw fuel coming out of the pipes when kicked over because the needles and seats were shot. You may have fuel running into the crankcase causing your rich condition. Also if your reeds are shot it might be part of your backfire problem. And PLEASE clean that thing up! 64 degrees is not cold!

Have you checked your reeds? Looks like there has been alot of trash that went through your carbs and why are the threads on your plugs so oily looking in the pics? what are you mixing at? When I ran with no airbox lid at 70 degrees I ran 240 mains. In your first pic there was no crossover tube between the carbs either.

Hey man, what are you trying to build there with the turbo hangin out front? What kind of motor is that? Keep us posted if you get it going and take plenty of pics.

I agree 100 percent with trying to keep american money in american pockets. I have a GMC and 2 pontiacs, am a union operating engineer, and always try to buy american when I can. But everyone on here has given our money to a japanese company (and probably smiled, too). That company is Yamaha. Just my $.02.

are they 10 inch, not 9, so I would have to get rims too?
