      @forthebold  7 років тому

      +j sturgess I originally thought it was the float height but after setting that and swapping the needle to another carb I'm now certain it's the gloat needle.

      For The Bold - dreegez my bike had been sitting in the garage for 16 yrs, so had to clean carbs found the o rings on float needles had perished so replaced them also the needles needed freeing from crud! Still doesn't run for long and lumpy due in part to 3rd cylinder not firing, I'm going to take carbs off again clean and inspect, thinking also problem might be caused by leaking inlet boots and o rings.

    Nice shirt! We're on fire at the moment, but they are getting things under control. I got a dynatek electronic ignition for my r75/5 about 2 years ago...It's still in the box in my kitchen. This video reminded me that I should probably install it, but I've been pretty busy on my k-bike project. I think I'll give the old /5 some love soon though. I wouldn't worry too much about the comment section, make the videos that you want to make, and the audience will sort itself out. Cheers

    So the idea to get it to run at the correct mixture at idle is to go up in size at your main jets? Why not the pilot/slow jets? Those mostly control the idle circuit air/fuel mixture. Main controls WOT

    • @forthebold
      @forthebold  7 років тому +1

      +FooDude2011 main jets don't control the idle. Slow jets and circuits. The thinking behind increasing the main jet is that it's still bogging when opening quickly and that popping you hear is running lean. I can get it to idle until the float needle is right so that's where I'll start playing with the colortune

I noticed that there is a washer on the plate that the old rotor sat on. Do I have to remove the washer so the rotor sits lower on the shaft?

    Your jets need to be a lot bigger, i ride a 1982 gsx400f and the size of my main jets are 125. Just so you know.

      All depends with altitude and exhaust also. I’m running a 4-2 exhaust at sea level. Check out my newest videos on this. Bikes running perfect with those jets. Any more and it would be too rich I’d say.

    Everyone skips the wiring! The 42year old bike is not a perfect plug and play and no one bothers to explain that part. Ugh

    Why don't you order a small drill bit kit and drill out your jets until you get yourself in the right place? Otherwise you up with a fistful of jets that don't work and constantly have to wait for shipping.

      +Mark Stevens that sounds so dangerous. Personally I wouldn't like to drill jets because the difference in sizes are barely visible to the eye and I can't see any drill bits (I have) being as accurate for the job.

      This works pretty good. Just hold the drill and slowly spin the jet onto the bit.

    I remember having to do something with the ballast resistor when I installed a dyna ignition on an old Goldwing many years ago. Also I have uploaded my very first video today and would love your input as I value your opinion ua-cam.com/video/9lVfxuMd9I8/v-deo.html I really like your production quality
