having some wierd bike issues

Tinki: the brass tubes u mention are part of the enrichener (choke) system, and floats should always be set to factory settings, not adjusted for altitude; that's done only with jetting changes.

 

really i didnt do any thing to it yesterday but will try to make some kind of proggress

 

SHE LIVES!!! took it out only about 2 miles as a test ride seems to be running good needs a crab sync done to it other than that squirrel seems to have done a goo job!ill be riding it alittle more today wont be able to head to the mountains today to really give it the one over, but illl just cruise around town. didnt feel anymore surging seems to be gone..

 

Awesome, I guess next ride we can go further than the neighborhood ha ha ha.. Are those new leathers I spy in the picture?

 

you spyed correctly so joey wanna ride next weekend? bloodmountain mybe?

 

I'm not sure if I can, I'm having my wheels repainted and probably won't be ready by then. If I can do a ride I'll text you! :thumbsup:

 

wheels painted!? well come man dont hold out on us what color?




on another note i would like to give y'all a report on squirrelmans carb rebuild job, his customer service is great very responsive very knowlegdable shipping was freakin super fast, the bike doesnt have any of the issues it had when after the carbs came back from him all i had to do before i rode it was adjust the idle, great job squirrel you brough my baby back to life! price was more than far so anyone else that needs carb rebuild please contact squirrel he's your guy and is more than able to get the job done.

 

You'll see it's a surprise ha ha ha Nah, it's just silver, no big deal. The black paint on the wheels are getting chipped and scratched up plus I got a high school reunion so I wanna arrive in style :biggrin:

 

Good to hear your baby is running better! Now, park your two new little ones on it for a picture!
We'll have to get together soon for a ride. I did a Western North GA ride today up through Elijay and Fort Mountain for some twisties. Wasn't too bad, mid-50's to mid-60s all afternoon.
Talk to you soon Matt!

Joey, powdercoat those wheels! White rules!

 

Congratz Matt!!

Seeing you stand up next to the bike makes it look tiny.

 

Hey Matt, that jacket looks like that one from that Michael Jackson video, doesn't it???

 

a crab sync? now you have seafood in your bike....

good job....

 

No, he has crabs. The 'sync' part is referring to the fact that his wife has them now too.

 

IT'S JUST A THRILLLLLER :crazy:

 

I was thinking....

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

It's MATT!!!!!

 

it makes sense tinkerin, mine is'nt running to great right now all my issues have come back so i'm back to square one again

 

You're going to hate to hear this, but my suggestion would be to put the CA emissions stuff back on. Everyone that has tried this has created a bunch of problems, and it appears like you are no different. The only way folks have been successful is to get a set of a 49 state carbs. There really isn't much to be gained by going through all of this work either. Considering that you've been having issues I'd put it back on and start from there.

 

Hmmmm.

What happened to the carb adjustment springs that Jamie sent you at the last moment? What did you do with the springs? Where did they go? I don't understand how your carbs were rebuilt, set up and sent back to you without the springs being installed? How is it that Jamie sent you the springs after the fact of the carburetors being sent back? I assume that the carbs were sent back to you assembled on the plenum. Or were the carbs sent back to you and you had to assemble them on the plenum?
