Won't start, backfires...

Pricey but should help a lot. :salute:

 

[joedrum]

every full rebuild kit ive seen is cheaper than some that are not complete denver......

 

[Down2earthLV]

I was seeing the same thing.... If I'm going to do them, it's better to do all or nothing! Wouldn't want a few tiny parts and a few extra bucks in my pocket to be what leaves me on the side of the road...

My mistake, for some reason thought was using the Randak kits, those are supposed to have everything you will need, or so i thought. :roll:

Only seals in Randakk's kit, no hard parts.

 

[Denver]

Right, there i go thinking again, when he said kits, thought that was separate from the idle jets, that are only factory as far as i know.

 

[dan filipi]

Yeah unfortunately if you need hard parts it'll cost ya bucks for new if available.
Used carb racks can be had fairly cheap for parts as an option.

K&L looks to have pretty much everything in their Pro Series carburetor repair kits, idle jets as well. Kit for 1100's # is 18-2575 look it up on their site.

I think you're asking the wrong group about pictures, but I'll try.
Your photos are turned sideways because: You have an inverted view, your spectrum is tilted, the left side of the picture is heavier than the bottom, (too many electrons), yellow & purple are denser colors than aluminum. :Egyptian:

:music: Sweet! lmao

Carb kits came in!!!
Just finished up #1, and there's left over parts... Not uncommon in the automotive world, but I've never done bike carbs. I don't see anywhere these belong. Have I overlooked something?

 

[dan filipi]

it's been awhile since I've been in the stock carbs but both of those don't look familiar.
maybe someone else has idea.

Long one looks a lot like an idle jet to me opcorn:

 

[auctioneeral]

little brass tube goes in the main jet hole first and sticks up in to the throat of the carb.
the long jet looks like a screw in idle jet.

 

[Down2earthLV]

Not the main jet tube... Although pretty similar. The ones I've got left over are only about 2/3 the diameter of that one.

So she's all back together, and fires right up... But loses a cylinder at idle and wants to die. Guess I'll work on tuning them tomorrow!

 

[Denver]

Idle jets sound plugged, :read: looks like you found where they go. :roll:

 

[Down2earthLV]

Non removable idle jets on these... I think after 83 they were removable...

 

[auctioneeral]

Idle jets are press in, which can be removed with a sheet metal screw.

Go to The Motorcycle Project, & look up Air cut off valves, & or 1100 carburetor's, & READ. oh2: They ARE removable, & can be cleaned, or replaced :whistling: lots of information on all sorts of stuff, invaluable reading. Nixon is this guys name, he knows his stuff from what i read. :read: :salute:
