    Ok sorry wasn't clear on that screws i'm refering to are sync screws. haven't messed with the fuel enrichment screws. should i screwing with those screws?
  2. tiny84
    Ok so synced the carbs again adjusting the pull cable so as not to hold the throttle open. adjusted idle speed acordingly took it for a spin. shut it down started it up took a ride. got home parked it ran inside to change for work. went back out bike had COOLED by now jumped on... wont start cranks over but no combustion. what should i be looking at? It runs when the bike is hot but if its cold I cant get her going again when the carbs are synced... if i turn all the screws CC then it will fire up but then are out of sync from the #2 carb.

    Well odds are last year in trying to get the bike running we screwed with the mixture screws so i'll turn them all the way in then back them out 2.25 back out and see if that doesn't net me some reasonable MPG. I'll be all over that like a fat kid on a cupcake after work tomorrow.

    lol yeah it was my own way of finding a common ground where the bike would actualy start. I think it means the #2 valve is staying open slightly and when I sync the carbs to it they all stay slightly open this means the bike wont start. but once i set all the other screws closed then the bike can start with just the #2 carb slightly open. this is my thoughts on what must be happening. when i first was looking into doing the sync I did have the bike running with the air box off and noticed the plunger on carb #2 moved more just ideling than any of the others. this also leads me to think it stays slightly open. and you didn't confuse things all aspects probly need to be coverd on this problem... i'm paying more in gas now then I do for rent...

    So for my running rich issue should I be screwing with the mixture screws?
  6. tiny84
    True if nothing was wrong I wouldn't be doing anything to it. but the bike smells like its running very rich and gets terrible MPG. One post I saw somewhere was someone complaining about backfireing and poor mileage "mobile home mileage" and doing a proper carb sync cleared it up... my bike would backfire occasionaly and gets bad mileage... I'm a religeous member of the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Congregation so if it wasn't broke trust me I wouldn't be trying to fix it.

    It is indeed very possible that I am incorrect but I think I have the right screws. only 3 screws all attached to the throttle pull linkage. If anyone has a pic of the correct screws I'd love to be able to confirm or disprove what i've been looking at. The sync screws are the one located between carb 3 and 4 and one between 1 and 2. I thought fuel enrichment screws were actualy on the carbs.

    Ok bike fired up today. GeorgeS gave me some pointers on the pull cable settings... Still didn't fire up. Then I backed out each of the sync screws all the way then tightend them in 3.5 turns. by this time the battery was very low so I stuck it on the charger over night. Bike fired right up today. but unfortunatly this means the bike is way out of sync again. Anyone looking for another first gen with Upgraded speakers and highend CD/DVD player indash?

    I can say that the bike ran well and pulled ok before the sync. the plugs i pulled out still looked new but replaced all the same. i'm thinking about just dropping in the backup set of carbs I picked up that were said to be 100% working and then sync those and see if maybe there is somthing screwy with the carbs that are on the bike now. I cleaned them last season but didn't seem to make any change.

    ok now most of that was information I didn't know. I did know about the idle speed set at 800-900 rpms. I was at around 1100-1200 when i finished the sync. how should I go about getting back to a base line where the bike actualy runs so I can redo the sync correctly?
  11. tiny84
    Yup recapped all the ports... Sorry neglected to mention I replaced the air filter with a new K&N filter 2 weeks ago. Good question though.... I'm just realy pulling my hair out on this one... this bike has never produced good mileage. if I can't get this running right i'm gonna have to look into tradeing it in.

    Title Says it all Yesterday I got home and replaced the plugs on the bike then synced the carbs. Vacume on each carb is just about the same. the problem came in after i shut the bike down... about 20 min later it was hard to start and this morning it wouldn't stay running. any ideas on what I should be looking at next? it was running realy rich before I did the sync so not sure what I should be doing.

    Update: The reason the gaskets wouldn't fit with the clamps is I was given the wrong gaskets. i'm gonna have to swing by the dealer and pick up a set of the correct gaskets tomorrow.
  14. tiny84
    ok so I got a pair of them from my local dealer. only charged me $11 for the pair. well I got to installing them but once i got the new gaskets on I couldn't get the clamp to go back on. the gasket just makes the gap too wide for the clamps to fit... I have one of my mechanicaly inclined friends coming over this evening to see what we can figure out.
  15. tiny84
    ok glad to hear that. I had priced them out at bikebandit.com but they always seem to rape me on shipping. glad the price is about the same at the dealer I guess i'll have to hit up my dealer tomorrow and see if i cant get some good results out of this bike soon.
