    I need to do this manly because I hate fishing that Bannana twikie tube down thru the carbs and hooked up every time I take the airbox off. One of the most PITA task working on these carbs.

    Me too, inquiring minds want to know

    I did most of the things you had done except for the crank case vent filter and am anxious to see what the results are. I did the needle washer thing yesterday and it runs pretty good now. It runs like a raped ape instead of a scalded cat. I'm wonderering what the difference is in MPH and MPG. Check out my carb bling.

    What is this part, where does it go, what does it do and is it important or not. During the most recent carb maintenance this weekend, the magnet picked this up from inside the center of the v In between the cylinder heads. It seems like I have seen it before but for the life of me I can't remember where it goes.

    I musta done something right this time, because when I took them back apart and adjusted the float level adjustment back to parallel to a slight angle down less than 10% and then put it back together.It stop pouring gas out the overflow tubes, seems to run and idle OK. And it now runs like a(To use Fly-N-Low's vernacular) RAPPED APE. Much improvement. I guess the new spark plugs and getting the airbox seated properly on the carb throats probably didn't hurt much either. I don't have enough miles on it yet to comment on gas mileage.

    Thanks for the advice, I did not notice any of this when I had the carbs apart. In this area there is only about one station in ten that has 10% ethanol gas.

    I've got all of the handle bar controls and cables you need. I PM'ed you.

    Where's the pic's? I know the Mechanic probably took a few. Even though I couldn't make it I'd like to see what I missed.

    I went thru the carbs last spring right before Daytona and ever since then I've been getting gas overflowing and running down the carb bodies on on the two rear carb bodies from the air box boots. Gas mileage has been lousey at about 20 mpg. I've also been fouling plugs lately so I'm thinkin it's running rich and float level to high on rear carbs waisting gas. I also was under the impression or misunderstanding that fuel level in bowl was supposed to be up to the mark which they were not. That's why I took the off to adjust float level.

    I'm just P'OED I went through all of this and they were right to begin with. Now I have to take off and apart AGAIN to put them back where the were before I started . Down for three days, missed the N. Ga M&E all for nothing. :bang head::bang head:

    So the level should be 14 to 16mm below the mark. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I was told it should be all the way up to the mark. No wonder I didn't think they were right it sounds like they were right before I started messing with them.

    The gas mileage on my bike sucked at around 20 mpg, I had two carbs that seemed to be leaking and my last ride the other day the bike ran like crap. So I took the carbs off and apart looking for whatever i could find that might be causing problems. Before taking carbs off i did the float/ fuel level check and the level on three carbs where 3/8" below fuel level mark and the fourth (#3) was 5/8" below. Took carbs apart, bent tangs on floats down a littlebit, Reassembled carbs put them back on did fuel level in bowl check again and all carbs showed about 3/4" below mark. That ddn't make sense. Took carbs back off and apart, bent tangs up, put back carbs together, reinstalled did check again and gas wouldn't show in tube for any of the carbs. :doh: So, I took them apart again bent tangs back down. reassembled, reinstalled did check and bowl fuel level showed 3/8" below mark on all carbs. I figured at this point they were better than they were so I'd try to run her to see if there was any improvement. Put the air box back on and cranked her. Now she's surging and dumping gas on the ground through the four overflow tubes that run down frame to the ground.:bang head: Did I mention that I really hate these carbs. Can anyone offer any help?

    Sorry to hear that. Probably another example of a great idea that didn't catch on. Like I said he gave me my set. He walked up to me where I was camping at an event and started talking about highway pegs than gave me a set and said try these you'll love them. And I do, Ive been talking them up ever since.
  19. Dragonslayer
    I was given a set by the inventor at a bike event a couple years ago in north ga. He called them The Highway Ottoman's and said they could be ordered on the internet. Instead of foot pegs to rest your feet on they have cushioned pads to rest your calves on. I really love them and they are supper comfortable and have 4 way adjustments that allows you to put them where ever you want them.

    I've got a used complete water pump I'll sell. PM if interested.

    Is it just me or is everyone having this problem? All of a sudden I can't get my font enhancement options to work. When I pull the selection list down they go away before you can make a selection and the highlighted text area un highlights. Very frustrating:bang head: Dang it worked that time what's up with dat. I swear it did not work the last fifteen times I tried it on other threads. I swear it didn't

  23. Dragonslayer
