Come on Spanners this is TD we are talking about.
Overthinking is a way of life for him!!!!!!

 

So are you but for the life of me I can't fathom the reason........

 

I thought that was overcleaning???

 

That too!!!

 

Why, thank you. WHAT? WHY YOU !@&#%$(-(+\+)*(#(%)#:@-&)*(-

 

Done yet??? Update?

 

Did ya get them gaskets changed?

 

Unfortunately, I never got to it over the weekend........Riding took priority.........

I'll update the thread as soon as I geter done!

 

Also Things have to be kept as a set. Newer model carb goes with newer manifold and newer flanges and newer seals...
Interchanging Older with newer model set makes leaks. Don't ask me how I know, it was a mistake learned the hard way.

Also tighten them down evenly with same gapage.. Don't over tighten but a good snug. Don't grease them cause that can make them slip out of place.

 

Well, after rebuilding the carburetor, and re setting the float level, I can't get the bike to miss.


I think I'm going to take the advice of a New Zealander, and quit messing with it for now.


I still wish it had more pulling power at 70 mph in 5th gear. But, she's good for now.


Thanks as always to all who contributed.........
