carb rebuild

[paddy.shadow]

Randaaks master kit installed, all leaks solved, however, performance still isn't quite there and I have a loud backfire from the left bank during long deceleration ( coming down a long hill)
I'm thinking air leak, any thoughts?

 

[mcgovern61]

Intake air leak, or, possible exhaust leak (uneven back pressure).

Intake air leak, or, possible exhaust leak (uneven back pressure).

Ditto

Could also be over rich or lean on that side.

I'm thinking 1 air screw is set to rich, pull the spark plugs and check the color or try useing a little thottle and roll it off real slow and see if this makes the backfire worse, carb sync might be out a bit to.

I bench synced and I don't have an exhaust leak, I'll check the plugs and make sure the boots are all tight. Thanks for the input!

Okay, worked 10 till 6am and the weather is god given today, so I stayed up and decided to address some issues
(1 Bike dirty cuz I got caught in the rain last week.
(2 Poor performance.
(3 New brake pads have been taking up space on my bench.

(A Thoroughly bathed the baby! :good:
(B Installed new Rear pads, after which I was angry and chose to do the fronts tomorrow. :nea:
(C Took a break. :heat:
(D {and you guys are gonna love this} Let's check the plugs, Do you know the little drain hole through the head? Yup #4 clogged and full to the top with water! Fixx-ed that! Put all new plugs gapped at .033.
WOW!
Finally runs like an 1100! :yahoo:
Still got a back fire, however that is livable as it only occurs during sustained decel !

 

[joedrum]

it sure is funny what the causes are for poor performance sometimes glad to hear its screaming along

 

[dan filipi]

It sure is nice when they are running good and satisfying that you got it there, Well done!

How quickly we all forget to pass on little tips like dropping a wire thru the drains b4 you wash
