HUMMMMM.....
Okay I now have the CV carby, the manifold adapter, a home made air cleaner and all the nuts and bolts and cables needed to get this thing working.
It has take me over a month to complete this project. Finaly got the bike to start and now it is back firing via the carby and will not idle.
After reading up I see that the carby is too lean and I need to ajust this. However I can not see how to do this. So to the ones that know, help!
hi, with any carb work you allways start at the tank 1st at least take it off & with the fuel cock off flush it out use new clean fuel , clean fuel line & filter then sort out the carb, mixture screw should be at least 3 turns out , the idle jet size should be a 45 /46 to 48 , main jet around 175 -180 for a shovel, i forget what needle to use , you can get 1 out of a differant model bike a needle thats leaner or richer or you can space or shim the 1 you have ,the mixture screw is under the carb towards the engine side of things & the jets are inside the fuel bowl area , set the fuel bowl fuel level at 3/4 to 7/8 full. any vac fittings must be blocked off that 1 on top in towards the engine side the old VOES, dont close off any breathers as on the air cleaner side
here are a couple of sites I have found usefull in the past that you may want to book mark?
