Ha, I always thought the yics tool was absolutely mandatory. Unless I did any modifications (air pods, aftermarket exhaust) , should I worry...
The carbtune works the same as the other synch tools right? Like the gauges.. tests how much vacuum is going into each cylinder. Don't I need the...
so update. I fixed the idle screw to where it should be at, i read somewhere before that you adjust it that you can just see a sliver under the...
Makes sense. There's 3 idle holes on the carbs though, half cover the middle one. Carb # 3 is the master. So first set that before setting...
Ah, I see what your saying. If one of the intakes produce much less vacuum than the others, theres a leak. Too much free air flow to produce a...
When the bike is cold, turning down the choke starts to stall the engine. After a few times starting it, choke up/choke down, does the same thing....
Hello, I am back.. after a long winter of a garage too cold to work in. I hope you guys are still following this thread ( if not i'll make a new...
No no no no I'm talking about the airbox to carb boots..... I've more than understood now that those throttle shafts need to be changed... and for...
It's not that they have shrunk, they've expanded if anything. Maybe i'll just replace the clamp ring around it.. It doesn't really seal anything...
Your right this is true. Well listen, I'm not experienced in this stuff yet, what I reason logical to myself might not be accurate in practice....
The idle is so high I don't like to run it for too long.... Needle/seat is new, everything new on the carb except for throttle shaft seal (which i...
Hi guys, I pretty sure I have multiple problems here, but trying to narrow them down. Installed the carbs back on the bike, and there's oil...
I like that idea! what exact size would they be. A quick google search of #11 Buna o-rings comes vague. thanks for your help! If I had any...
Hey chacal, how long would shipping usually take for your friends north of the border? I'm contemplating pulling out the penetrating oil and...
Yea on mine they kinda just fell out of the opening, like when i put them back they're not visibly smaller than the opening, but not so snug that...
I'm doing a carb rebuild, so i broke open the rack and checked the seals. they have no real signs of wear... From what I read on these forums,...
ok no worries. I found a yamaha dealer close to where I live, I can order from there. thanks for the math.. you guys are the best on this forum!
Hey hogfiddles, sorry for late reply! So if I tell you what I need, you'll send me shims, then i send you what I replaced? That's actually...
So update, I bought some thinner gauges, still imperial. And I mean imperial as the nice round numbers are imperial, it has metric too, but not at...
Whats the shim pool? I hope there is a shim hot tub as well :)
OP is from Toronto, but we are just as imperial as you guys. I went to this auto/hardware store called Canadian Tire, and literally all they have...
.005 inches / .127mm. My feeler gauge is imperial. That's the smallest one on the tool. I should probably buy a thinner gauge (if they sell them...
I took the measurement with the cam lobes pointing directly away from the shims (i.e. pointy part of the cam lobe opposite to shim) I used a .005...
Hi guys. thanks in advance for any help. My carbs are out on a xj750, waiting for some replacements parts. So I thought while I'm waiting I...
First off, I would like to say this forum is awesome! Especially all the write-ups and how-to's. Never seen so much attention to detail in my...
