Ok just intoduced myself in the new member section, so here goes have an 81 that the previous owner had the single carb mod with the Holley 1940 carb that ran like crap even after heavy cleaning. So onto Ebay and got the solex 34 pict 3 conversion sold by falconav put in in adjusted it like crazy to get it to run. Did a run today and got about 26 mpg so I'm starting to look over the carb. First off on the idle jet it has 55 stamped on it so I'm assuming the idle jet is WAY too big as members in the intro section were saying about a 35. Also have gas coming out of the butterfly shaft when the bike is on the kickstand so I'm assuming I have a bad shaft seal which would explain why the idle bounces around, as I sprayed the intake down with starter fluid with no change. So any tips and comments would be appreciated. I'll even take a few wise ass comments. :thanks:
