OpEnUpYourEyE Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Hi every one. I am new here and have a problem. Sorry for the long story Quote
wesw Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 first off there is a electrical plug on the carbs called tors unplug it. it will screw the bike up so its worthless. 2nd make sure the choke tube between the 2 carbs is connected. 3 your carbs are leaking gas cause the floats need to be adjusted. i think you set them at 17mm you flip the carbs over with the bowls off and from the base to the float top measure and adjust. jetting should be a 25 pilot, mid clip and 200 mains on a pure stocker clean your carbs, also hope some of this helps where do you live at???

shee4speed Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Adjust the floats to 21mm.Make sure the needle valves are clean as a whistle.That will cure the fuel leakage. Quote

OpEnUpYourEyE Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Posted September 10, 2007 is the Tors the thing that was making it idle WAY high? Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 I am in utah. how do you tell were the float is to ajust. I am way new to this jetting carb stuff. thanks for the reply The floats are inside the carburetors. Remove the carbs, turn them upside-down, and remove the float bowls (cross-tip screws). Each carb has one float and one float contains two small black plastic drums connected by a small metal arm. The arm contains the adjustment tab. Remove the main jet ring. Hold the carb so that the float arm just contacts the fuel valve needle. Measure the distance from the float bowl mating surface (without the gasket) and the top of the float. The stock specifications are 20-22mm. Use the metal tab to adjust the float level. Increasing the float height, distance between the mating surface and the top of the float, lowers the fuel level (the floats will be lower in the bowl when the float height is raised). Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 is the Tors the thing that was making it idle WAY high? The TORS is the Throttle OverRide System. The TORS consists of a switch in the throttle housing, a switch inside each of the blocks on top of the carbs, and a black box on the frame above the left cylinder. The TORS is supposed to detect a stuck throttle condition and cut power to the engine. I would say that for most people, most of the time, the TORS works fine. However, it is possible for the TORS system to malfunction and cause problems. Quote
