But what size are the pilot jets--that is feeding the transition ports. The dynojet kits i've seen put smaller mains, stepped needles, fatter...
Just like on a boar hog, the tits are worthless and not necessary--that's why the later versions didn't have them. The solid rubber on the piston...
You will want the 38's not the 40's. This is one of the few times that Visegrips is the tool to use once the screw heads have cammed out and...
Is there a rubber oring up in the piston body around the little tit, or if not, is there a rubber oring in the carb body down in the choke bore?...
If the bike has set up for a long time, then the old fuel in it turned to varnish and gummed up the old fuel pump--plus the tube-end screens...
You really need to get a manual--there is no vent in the fuel cap, nor would you want one, especially in the event of an accident and getting fuel...
What size sprockets and tires have been put on that thing--that might explain part of the low fuel mileage. The speedometer is reading off the...
measure ac voltage between two yellow wires, not between yellow and ground. The alternator voltage is/must be isolated from the chassis.
i suggest you start a new thread in either the mechanics garage or the 3-4 gen section. If the bike sat up then the pilot jets are clogged and...
if you turn on the headlights the voltage will likely drop, especially at idle. Run it at idle with the lights on and measure, then rev up to...
i made the mistake of thinking it was a rust preventative, but it is not. It displaces surface moisture then evaportates and leaves a dry bare...
Since you found brown goo in the master i'm going back to my original idea of a clogged return port being the culprit and the clutch is slipping....
torque on the clutch? Take a look at this guy's article on torque and horsepower--see if it makes sense to you (he also compares harley to vfr...
This is not really overheating, right? You're not seeing excessive temperatures are you?--normal operating temps, not overheating? The air...
i agree with skid for the most part, but i would offer that it is very difficult for a permanent magnet alternator such as we have on...
Looks like you're having fun and making some good mods with your toys. i like the flatter torque curve on the 86 all the way up to 9k rpm, it...
Hey Mr. Modjulators or one of the new sheriffs, while you are fixifying stuff, how about change the title of the first sticky post in the...
It's just you! 2:nd gen is a sweet ride. 3:rd gen has the best carburetors. 4:th carbs are easiest to clean (only 3 bowl screws). i hate that...
Thanks for sharing that is an interesting chart, especially the big bucket in the torque curve. What size pilot jets, main jets and...
14.2 volts indicates the stator and RR are working okay. i would guess the alarm is the culprit--may have drained the battery over time, then...
Separate names with a comma.
