The Thumper Years: Modified To Full Customs / Re: FT500 Vintage racer

Unfortunately no garage. A small shed that is too small to really work on the bike in, but at least I will have power and a place of my own. I do have enough space to build a carport or maybe even a garage but I would have to check with the municipality if that is allowed (strict rules on that here). It will be a big step forward from my current situation anyway.

The V-Twin Years: Stock To Lightly Modified / Re: Stock Jet Size
« Last post by Bucko on December 22, 2020, 05:23:26 pm »
I ended doing a complete carb rebuild.  Here's some of the interesting things I found:

    Wrong size main jet in both carbs and in the wrong order - larger one is supposed to be in the rear cylinder
    Wrong size Pilot jet in both carbs - they're supposed to be the same size - they weren't, and the front one was the larger than the rear one
    The slot head on both pilot jets were completely stripped off.  Had to use vice grips to remove them.
    One of the idle mixture screws broken off and not removable (I ended up using a different set of carb bodies)
    Tiny fuel filters on top of the float bowl fuel valves both missing
    Enrichener circuit (choke - sort of) plug slack measurement supposed to be 11mm, measured 23mm.
    There are only 4-O rings in the carb assembly - none were present
    The little spring loaded tit on one of the float needles (that presses against the float tang) was seized.
    One of the carb-to-airbox boots was on upside down
