Motorcycle(s): bastardized ninja 250 (think land speed record with a sidecar) soon to swap a 500 engine

Carb update:

I opened them up when I found out they use the same gasket as the 250. Someone they didn’t leak last night, and the gasket actually looks decent. It’s got a 40 pilot, and a 145 main. Looks like some jetting was done for the pod filters and whatever exhaust was on the 454. I’m now confident I won’t melt yet another piston, and I’m going to take it for a 100 mile round trip to San Jose and back.

When I get my O2 sensor gauge I’ll start messing around with jetting, pod filter spacers, etc.


Post trip update. When I put my pod filter that fell out back on, it ran much better hahaha. It’s actually not bad overall. I think I won’t touch anything until I get that gauge. My top end power seems to be a little lacking, but the torque is amazing. I also like that I can cruise at 6000rpm, and the offset engine gives me weight over towards the sidecar a little.
