I'm in north san diego county and use no heat on my set up. I can say that 1\4 turn on my idle mixture screw made the difference between off-idle dead spot and no dead spot in throttle response.( just got to find the sweet spot ) can't say what heat would do as I haven't tried it. idle between...

Looks like it' going to work nice. :good:

yes still checking out the go pro. first time I used waterproof back, less wind noise but also less engine sound so this time I did use the vented door. Still not what I was hoping for. I'll keep experimenting. I think I mostly run the bike in between 4,000 and 6,000 r.p.m. I think the early...

thank you for the kind words just wanted to show how the single carb can run smooth and reliable. Nice winter day here in Southern California good weather but not enough water. every place has its issues I guess

here is another video, shorter and better road. Go pro takes good video but by the time I get it edited to you tube quality is not as good. still learning settings to use. too much wind noise at speed but you can hear the engine now and again. A little over 4 min long. dave...

just got my christmas/ birthday present of a go pro vid cam and when I get it all figured I'll post a vid from a prettier area to ride with some easy twistys and such. Big learning curve on editing a bunch of footage down to something someone would want to watch :laptop: dave

here is a video of a ride testing not the bike but the new go pro camera. as the title says boring ride, bad sound good picture, too long so just skip around if you care to watch at all. single carb, weber, grab rail runners,vw plenum, 2 to 1 adapter, no choke, no manifold heating. Typical...

running weber 2 barrel no jetting. smooth strong just over 30 mpg. 76 gl1000 very happy, with conversion. dave

will do on checking crankcase vent for oil residue. I have a filter on end of hose so should be able to see if it's messier than it should be. I'll also run it to open air to see if I can spot blow by. Thanks all for advice, not wanting to bitch too much about this prob it's just everything else...

breather is routed up to air filter like a car from the 70's with its own filter and then back into intake. using more oil than seems logical, right now if I remember,( I have it written down out in the garage ) just under a qt. per 500 miles. I know there should either be a constant cloud of...

just a quick update. about 900 miles running atf in fuel. compression test on cold engine is now 150 on three cylinders and 140 on one of them. Still using oil and am now starting to use some atf in oil as talked about in this thread. only leak found is from left side rocker cover after being...

thanks. all good answers. I'll check fork height as I did put the 78 front end on this 76. new bearings but will check axle clamp bolts. I think slabghost might be on to a legitimate scenario with the tighter right turn thing. I'll keep an eye on it. dave

It seems like the right side of my front tire is wearing ever so slightly more than the left side. If it's not my imagination, what might be the cause of this? :headscratch: thanks as always for any info, dave

Thank you for excellent videos on engine rebuild. It looks so easy when someone else is doing it. :thanks: dave

+ 1 on the better air in LA. now. I remember how bad it used to be in the early seventies. Alot more people and better air. who woulda' thought. sometime regs are useful but still a pain in the...

that is how you tube videos should be made. Wish I had seen this before doing my belts and pulleys. dave

I looked on parts list but it did not say, just said 10x28 bolt part no. 90021-371-000 doesn't say left or right hand. sorry no much help, dave

still a great deal and good price on 2 to 1 adapter. dave

I fill up till pump shuts off and don't keep trying to top off more, so some variation involved in each fill up. I then see how many mile on trip odometer and do the math. Over all I get a pretty accurate average that way however I add atf after fuel as I dont know how much fuel it is going to...
