So, I pulled the carbs. Turned the idle screw out 3 turns. 1 & 4 sync screw 1 turn out, 2 sync screw, 3 turns out. Trying to give myself some...
Update: found the manifold end of the petcock vacume hose (on #3) was cracked. This solved the hanging idle. Idles at 1100 nice with a little...
Hey guys. So did valves, new throttle shaft seals, did bench synch per this thread....
More new parts then old.
Careful not to break that little bolt off. The one that's been in there 30 + years. Then you'll be pissed.
Right, I've been trying to wrap my head around this. Thanks
Good to hear.
Just checked mine. The neck comes down to the top of the tree. It covers that black piece on top in your photo. The bearing seats at the bottom...
I was testing it with out the cover on. So I could see what it was doing. When it wouldn't latch, it toggled between the two contacts. Sounded...
This is the third time I've cleaned up the contacts in the relay and put it back together. So this time I loaded it with dielectric at the...
Once she fired up and ran I put the cover back on the TCI. We'll save that one for another day. :)
Re: bogs at low rpm revs over 2K. Ignition help please. So I installed a set of Accel coils. 300 miles and all is well. They gave the bike a...
Re: bogs at low rpm revs over 2K. Ignition help please. Right that's were I'm at, ordering coils. I know it's shot for sure. Let you know what...
If there are no leaks and you are sure the mold line is even all the way around, you should be fine. That line is key to making sure it is seated...
Ok, the symptoms. Bike will idle, but when you turn the throttle it sounds like it doesn't want to take the fuel, bogs. With alittle feathering...
Could you elaborate on this method? I place a thicker feeler gauge under the cam and hold it so it comes level with the bucket. Then I try to...
Thanks all. Local shop tossed me a shim for the day. I tell you it pays to stop by your local shop an buy some trivial crap once, twice a month....
cool!
Thanks, yes if I had a spare shim this would be easy. I will check my local shop to see if I could borrow/trade for one. If not I might take you...
Ok this kind of makes snese. I don't think you are saying that the cams will be loose enough that the shim will come out without the valve being...
I've found many posts that say do not rotate the cams without the shims in place. What if I have an ultra tight valve? The consensus is to swap...
Back from six days in Rhoad Island. Almost 600 miles on the XJ and she's running good. No problems. Replace those original fuse boxes guys!
Well, I don't know, it could be coincidence or the heat of the constant draw off the charger. I think it was the, ..........wait for...
Long time no problems guys. :) Here is what happened. I thought the bike was in nuetral, bright sun, could not see the lamp. When I put the...
Sick
First a long time poster here I wanted to thank the whole XJ community for all the knowledge accumulated here. I went to head out the other...
Alot like Times idea, I use a zip tie. Wrapped around the gauge side of the switch housing and throttle. Tight enough to hold but, loose enough...
No, what they are saying in this thread is if it ain't broke don't fix it. If the middle drain plug is in the bike leave it alone.
I rode 2 hours Thursday, 60F, sunny. Made me smile. Topped the tank and added the Stabil. Brought her home washed her good and now She too is...
Re: Deals Gap and the Tail of the Dragon. Has anyone ever be I'm glad others here have had the opportunity to ride this great road. You lived...
Re: Deals Gap and the Tail of the Dragon. Has anyone ever be Check this guy out, can you say amazing! You can here the pegs scrapping on the...
I didn't read the other thread but with pods and a header you have made two mods that will make the bike run leaner. Could be you are just...
Re: Want to make front brake lever closer to my stubby finge :lol: I was going to say heat it up and bend it in :lol: You could look for an...
Well it was 20 years ago. I had the V65, I raced a guy off the light. Little did I know there was a Honda CRX in my lane without tail lights....
Since no one else has chimed in I will tell you what I do. First you are talking F'ing cold,20F. I wear double layer wool/polypro long underwear...
Re: Deals Gap and the Tail of the Dragon. Has anyone ever be One day I will ride the tail but 'till then one of my favorites is the King...
Cops only ride bikes in parades here. The up keep to pull them out twice a year must be disproportionate at best. They got cash to buy Segways...
I like that new CBF very stylish. I had one of the originals in black and orange like this one. [img]
You and me both. :mrgreen:
Re: YICS Elimination Device. Interesting. Looks Uncomplica While the performance may improve, you would lose gas mileage. From these boards I...
It may sound silly but do you have a stock speedo? Mine weren't canceling, then I realized I had taken the speedo cable off to replace.
60F and sunny today. Rolled her out, set the choke, thumbed the starter and she fired right up. Hadn't been run in over a week of <45F. Boy She...
Yikes! It's the time to work on 'em now anyway.
Damn that's pretty.
I always make sure the bottom of my tank bag is free of all hangers on. Make sure the tank is clean too. When I take the bag off I place it...
I'm waiting for that last warm snap too. Low 40's in the sun makes Hound a sad boy.
Thanks
The valves in the wheels. They are made of metal not rubber and have a nut to tighten them down. I was loosing pressure in the front and back...
It appears to be a cork gasket so I didn't want to torque it to much.
