ducatiman · July 7th, 2020, 05:54 PM

DannoXYZ · July 8th, 2020, 02:55 AM

Amazing work!!!

Dieseldog · July 10th, 2020, 10:59 AM

Nice!!

ducatiman · July 10th, 2020, 11:37 AM

TY both...but really "just another day at the office"

ducatiman · July 17th, 2020, 10:46 AM

restored tuning components, the basis for fine running refurbs, and then installed, completed. Look at that brass. No presence of varnish anywhere, in or out.

ducatiman · July 31st, 2020, 08:11 PM

a nudder 2 fiddy today, looka the curves on that emulsion tube!

ducatiman · August 6th, 2020, 11:10 AM

Reawakening a Baja 90 kids ATV after a long dormant (4 year) outdoor under cover. Looky this interesting carb/petcock combination. Convenient and confirmed functional. Both main and pilot jets were totally clogged. Note operative word *were*, shown clean as new again.

ducatiman · August 10th, 2020, 07:18 PM

We have a runner. Carb, electrical work successful. Bodywork fully removed, running via remote gravity fed fuel source (from above) this evening.

This one a relaxing, fun "wake up from a long sleep" project.

maverick9611 · August 11th, 2020, 02:02 AM

nice

True artist!!

ducatiman · August 14th, 2020, 06:38 PM

Done. Intended to be a learner for a very lucky 9 year old fella, relative of owner.

Impeccable carburetion, touch button start, quiet, low idle, impressive response to thumb actuated throttle. Adjustable throw...which I've dialed back on owners instruction. Of course can be tweaked as he learns.

ducatiman · August 23rd, 2020, 06:43 PM

ugh, the 2nd of 2 sets done today

Ancient vintage Rochester BC 1bbl now in the house. Offa late 50's Chevy pickup truck. Orig Rochester # 7003536-C-13, carb requiring sectional disassembly in order to reveal the entire part #.
Correct rebuild kit in process of being ordered, though accel pump replacement not matching up in dimension to whats in there A basic kit has been identified.
More research needed to nail the accel pump replacement....an ongoing process.

Looky that old school brass float assembly! And using a float needle..same basic principle as the 250.

ducatiman · August 24th, 2020, 05:21 PM

after some cleaning efforts, a barely legible stamped date code is now evident 357 (look v close)

ducatiman · August 26th, 2020, 12:25 PM

as I await Rochester parts delivery...EX500 refurb completed last night

ducatiman · August 27th, 2020, 10:56 AM

Another set of 250's here for refurb today. Curiously, the master carb throttle shaft badly binding, the slave is not. Corrective action underway.

Update issue resolved. These'll turn out fine.

ducatiman · August 28th, 2020, 09:20 AM

they sure did

ducatiman · August 29th, 2020, 05:47 PM

'57 Rochester carb refurb completed this evening. Ready for install Monday.

Before/after and a gut shot.

BoBO · August 30th, 2020, 12:33 PM

Nice!

DannoXYZ · August 30th, 2020, 07:43 PM

Amazing job!!!

ducatiman · September 2nd, 2020, 05:17 PM

The '58 Chevy pickup running sweet, Steady, low idle reacting to perfectly set mixture and idle speed screws, revs on command, falls back to the same calm idle. Local owner close by, I did removal, rebuild, reinstall and setup. Rare that I get to witness my own work.
I'll get a pic up of the thing in a day or 2.

ducatiman · September 6th, 2020, 11:47 AM

EX500 refurb completed this morning.

ducatiman · September 6th, 2020, 11:55 AM

4 bangers from 1973 HONDA CB350F reported leakers in for corrections and refurb. Wet tested right outta the box...fuel pouring out the vents. Yup, needles and seats to be replaced, along with all rail orings, gaskets, etc etc. All "consumables"

Upon disassembly...found RTV used in lieu of proper orings to hold/seal main jets. Various other evidence of neglect/abuse. Parts ordered, I'll split the rack and treat components during the wait. A lotta precise, detailed work required on these.

Looking at the pic...#2 and 3 seem to be gasping for help

PS these things from another era, weigh a ton

ducatiman · September 8th, 2020, 08:58 PM

Yamaha Banshee Mikuni carbs refurbed. Before/after, sorry no gut shots. Rest assured as clean in as out.

Choke plunger issue, frozen float drain screw..everything corrected.

ducatiman · September 30th, 2020, 02:29 PM

1973 Honda CB350F carbs completed today, corrected long term, profusely leaking issue, split to install new consumables everywhere. Restored previously removed carb bowl "spill pipes".

ducatiman · October 3rd, 2020, 04:48 PM

Ducati 800, nice ride today

ducatiman · October 5th, 2020, 04:08 PM

completed refurb on a set of EX500 carbs, turned the clock back, like new...bolt on and GO. A long service life going forward.

ducatiman · October 11th, 2020, 05:26 PM

250 refurb completed today, these came a long way from badly neglected to now fully serviceable status

ducatiman · October 11th, 2020, 05:27 PM

Honda CX650 up next

DannoXYZ · October 13th, 2020, 12:09 PM

Wow, that’s a historic item!

notunderweight · October 13th, 2020, 02:07 PM

Looks great!!

ducatiman · October 13th, 2020, 02:30 PM

the 650's pictured as received, just beginning basic disassembly and inspection. Amongst other signs of neglect, emulsion tubes found badly varnished, bleed holes plugged solid. Definite attention required.

Another odd ball...found 2 orings installed under each pilot screw! Somebody was in there before, installed new, failed to remove old! And, curiously enough, the same exact spec oring as used on your 250 pilot screw!

Anyways...fun ongoing.

ducatiman · October 16th, 2020, 10:02 AM

37 yo CX650 carbset entering testing phase today, nearing completion

ducatiman · October 16th, 2020, 12:47 PM

finis, as clean in as out...goin' back home as bolt on runners.

ducatiman · October 21st, 2020, 06:31 PM

drastic transition into restored bolt on runners today ( a new lease on life)

ducatiman · October 26th, 2020, 09:15 AM

Doing a set of 250's today....documented dimensional differences in aftermarket vs OEM pilot screw diameters. Perfect example why I hesitate to use aftermarket tuning components.

ducatiman · October 27th, 2020, 06:11 AM

the above culminating in an obvious return to factory pilot screws and successful completion.

ducatiman · November 2nd, 2020, 03:21 PM

busy day...both KLR650 and 250 ninj set completed

DannoXYZ · November 2nd, 2020, 05:38 PM

Incredible work!!!
