Kwietshee Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 het guys I got a lil dilema, Ive been having problems getting my bike to run good the last two trips to Glamis. its always a bitch to start so I took the carbs apart to clean them and noticed that the carb with the choke on it has a small brass tube that comes down parallel to the main jet tube, but the other carb doesnt- is this normal or am I missing a piece thanx Quote

All it is for is the fuel supply to the choke. Make sure that the choke side has a air jet in the carb bowl. One bowl has a plug, and the other has a threaded in jet at the bottom of the casting that that tube goes into. You can take it out like any air bleed, and clean it really good to make sure it is getting fuel to the choke circuit. Quote
Kwietshee Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Posted January 25, 2009 Holy crap I just checked for the jet in the bowl and my bowls were on the wrong carbs, thank you for that. will bowls switched around cause bike to run bad? Quote

It will render the choke useless, and make starting a real chore. That is probably most of your problem. Quote

It will render the choke useless, and make starting a real chore. That is probably most of your problem. That's provably I was kicking the hell out of it for 20 minutes, thanx again guys Quote
