    Just found and fixed another potentially catosphroic roadside problem. Throttle cable to linkage was frayed and about to break, Thank goodness I had a spare in good shape.

    OK I finished checking and cleaning float bowls, ports, valves ect on all 4 carbs and found crud in all of them but 1 & 2 were the worst. reassempled them and hooked them back up to test fuel line put them under pressure and no leaks. I set them on dry news paper and let them sit under pressure and not a drop came out of them. So I feel good to go to remount carb bank. This I'll do before I turn in but it's to late to crank the motor and wake the neighbors so I'll wait intill in the morning. see how it runs and make adjustments if needed.so i'll repost tomorrow. For all that posted comments and help thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate your help and advice. I'll post winner of contest after successful test ride. Hopefully tomorrow.

    Floats seem fine, Metal flake only in first float bowl I opened and just 3 orfour flakes at most I blew through all carb ports and cleaned before reassembly,I feel positive i've cleared them out but time will tell all truth when I get them remounted. I think I've done all I can do. As much as I'm sorry I'm not already there, I'd rather be here than on the side of the road. I believe confidence is where experience, wisdom, forethought and planning come togeteher. Or as my late father beat into my head all my life, If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Thanks for phone message, try again I had ringer turned off, i'll be up for a while and would love to talk to you.

    thanks good info Not sure about video cam, it seemed like a good idea at the time but it hasn't proved to be much useother than being able to see what I look like on cam. Big deal. did everything in paragraph 2, i don't think these floats are hollow they appear to be a solid block of super lite styrofoam like material. about pulling a micheal, happens to me all the time. if your in the mood for a funny story go to my post on Poor Man's Tip's and Fixes forum titled Making engine show ready 2/2/08, Read my response to danob11's post concerning using house as shop. That story is a great example of pulling a Micheal or Bob as it was. paragraph's 4 and 5 duly noted. thanks bob

    I've moved lap top, video cam and carbs to bench, web cam link back on so you can watch me work on carbs on bench. if your commenting please use chat text on webcamnow window. that will save me a lot of time punching keys on the keyboard, you should be able to hearr my audiable responses.

    Sounds like I need to separate carbs, take float covers off inspect, clean floats and float needles, reassemble test again then remount and test

    Tried that fuel squirted out top overflow tube on carb #and out small jet port at top of carb bowl on carbs 1 & 4 see pic q-tips point location of fuel leaks.

    Web cam doesn't seem to be helping so i'm shutting it off.
  11. Dragonslayer
    I don't have anything like that on hand without trip to the store. it's been 25 years since there were any babies around here.
  12. Dragonslayer
    Good idea i'll do that, need to hunt up some more fuel line.
  13. Dragonslayer
    yOU AND MBROOD ARE BOTH RIGHT I know its back tracking but I'm gonna take carbs back off while gas is wet on carbs and try to inspect with magnifying glass to track where leaks are coming from for better clues I repost with findings stay tuned. Not leaving for Daytona till I'm confident carbs are 100% Plan local test ride period to confirm.
  14. Dragonslayer

    :sign09::sign09:Helpppppp. I'm trying to wrap up bike rebuild project in time to make it to Daytona. My Atl riding buddies pulled out this morning and Venturerider.org buddies are waiting and I'm still dealing with carb set up issues.:icon_smile_question:doh: So I'm asking, pleeding begging for help from you carb gurus in talking me through getting carbs set up. To help speed up the process I'm setting up the laptop in shop with web cam focused on project so those helping can see in real time video feed at the rate of 6 frames per minute. The link for video feed is http://Webcamnow.com/DragonslayerBob I will also be constantly monitoring this thread for feedback. Video cam should be online by 11:30am EST. To make it interesting and fun I'm make a contest out of it. The person most helpful in helping me get issues solved in time to make it to Daytona will win a prize of thier choice between Daytona Bike Week 2008 souvenier or a On Board Liquid beverage dispenser kit (My Invention and product) with on line instructions on installation. To get the ball rolling, this is where I'm at. The new motor is installed cranked and running, The air box is off, the diaphrams are all bouncing at different rates. The carbs have slow gas leak which is pooling around top lip of intake boots then dripping down. Choke is on. When I decrease choke and increase throttle engine bogs down and dies. During rebuild project I separated four carbs and installed new main diaphrams and coast enricher diaphrams, put back together and remounted to intake boots. What Do I Do Now?
