my day - Page 8

Wow those are really bad ! I can't wait to see the results !
you might use a heat gun to heat the carb base to get the jets out !
I've snapped off pilot jets before in carbs like that !!!!
good luck !

were in such poor condition, achieving throttle plate/shaft motion took awhile. Both carbs were frozen solid. Note "were". Jets out/back in after my normal treatment. Getting there, need 1 more day to complete them.

followed by ......note pic prior to bench synching and setting float levels via wet testing...both ONGOING

the next victim chosen...................

ducatiman · March 26th, 2023, 03:50 PM

recently did carbs for a certain EX500 owner, he reinstalled them yesterday, became anxious to hear it start/run......however, without the OEM air filter.

He reported the bike started/idled ok, but upon throttle, puked at 1/4 to 1/3 throttle.
Answering his text, I made him aware that the filter supplies somewhat of a restriction, which the carbs require by design. I suggested he give it up till he had the "missing piece" installed. Today he texted, reporting it "passed with flying colors".
So I offer y'all.....keep in mind the difficulties running without airbox or filter, or testing carbs without same.

ducatiman · March 27th, 2023, 04:23 PM

currently doing a set of 250'S..... an in process pic attached, more to come tomorrow.

yah that must be it ! I was thinking man it would be a bummer to loose a BB
from that carb..... but it's not ! just o rings ! whew !
I lost a BB out of a carb on a pinto one time and obviously it didn't work after that I found the right size from a bicycle and got it going again ! and the kid never noticed it ! LOL.... dirt floor shed at the time that sucked !

.....
Well done Gordon ! you do exceptional work !

insides as well, ty BK

Upon opening, found the decel valve diaphragm was firmly attached to body, ZERO movement. And both floats offered vastly differing heights. Both issues corrected, should be fine runners now.
