hercalmighty Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Quick question. The little vent hole on the cylinder side of the carb on top, did you plug it or run a hose between the two carbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hercalmighty Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yeah, it looks like a vent line but its on top in front of the slides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowbanshee Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yeah, it looks like a vent line but its on top in front of the slides. yeah i put mine in but i didnt hose clamp the tube or the carbs and the reeds are tight but i had to cut the half moon lips off of my boot that goes to the reeds from the carb because it wont work with the lips on it. could this be a problem, i have 30mm oko carbs.

hercalmighty Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I would do a leak down test. I had a tiny little scratch on the cylinder intake surface that was leaking. If I wouldnt have done the leak down test I would have never known about the leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hercalmighty Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 If you didnt have a problem before you put the new reeds in but do now, I would check for an air leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripledsracing Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 is there an easier/faster way to check for an air leak other than building the leak tester that i saw a link to on here? yes..take your reeds and intakes bac off and aply 1211 or 1194 or yamabond on the gaskets and reinstall and should seal it up...but if it was running good before you swapped reeds then thats were its leaking at so that should seal it up...
