Just so happen to have a pic from a prior thread. Need to make sure fuel can flow through these two which are connected.

Photo of what I think Swoop was referring to is attached - it's the wider hollow just right of centre, with the smaller hole at the bottom.

Edit - sorry, just saw Darinm has already posted this!

But Al, now he knows what it should look like after he's done cleaning it!

By some miracle a couple years ago, I was able to get a picture of the jet... pressed in, not removable... and very small, easily plugged... be careful not to enlarge.

Thanks guys for the pictures. I'll be checking that out today and will report back.

Tried to attach a few videos for your enjoyment, but but have to figure out why they keep failing to upload.

I removed the carb and blew out the jets that were mentioned, made sure all was clean and reinstalled. Wasn't getting much until I heard a little "blurp!" Next thing I know she was running and idling strong (choke off). *third video will show the excitement... especially when I realized the silencer shot out of the tailpipe!

I will now be in search of replacing the kickstand as the bar bent from kicking it too many times while on the stand Has anyone gone with a replacement that keeps the bike more upright? Also, the trip reset broke off from a PO and I was curious if that is replaceable or if I can MacGyver it some how.

So here I am now, I have a functional running motorcycle (my 1st) and am grinning from ear to ear while I rip down the road at 45mph. Thank you all for taking the time to chime in and help me through the build. I hope this thread will offer some guidance for others that are in my situation. Now to get her fully tuned!

***edit:

Thought this got uploaded, but no such luck as service sucks in wine country. Had her running for about a hour yesterday and a hour today. Got up to 45mph in 5th @~4500+/- before the bike started to pop (backfire?) and die. Back to the shed I pulled the carb and repeated the process. Reinstalled and gave her a kick and I now get nothing but a strong idle with pops before dies off. Guess I’m still at it

Cant see them, make sure its not your youtube edit link.

Yes, you did the right thing by uploading to YouTube but there should be a "share" link you can post here so we can see them... the current video links require signing in as you to view.

Here we go...*Videos!!!







and yes, this is my lady's YouTube account. She has the fear of what will come of it now

I'll post another video with the popping/backfiring from exhaust, but first

Also, for those who haven't read above, please not the *edit from my previous post regarding the backfiring. Cheers!

Some kind of ignition problem perhaps. I did not read back through all the posts so excuse my ignorance if this was mentioned, but does the bike have a condenser. I remember my dad's f-350 had a reving issue and pops and back fires and as it got hotter the worse it ran. Turned out it was a condenser.
