A little update on my carbs, in case someone has the same problem as I have.
Yesterday while I was trying to sleep an idea came to me on how to get those broken of screw points out. It is worth noting that the method I used will only work on the bs34 carbs found on a 76-77 xs360 and the old...
Seems very tricky drilling those out so I'll be on the lookout for a set of carbs then.
Man I'm glad I found this forum, I would have never been able to figure this out without all the experience you guys have. Allthough my carbs are trash now I'm glad I found the problem after many...
Yeah you're right, I had a feeling those idle screws looked a little short. there is indeed some brass at the bottom of both holes. Must have been the previous owner who tried to take them apart because I learned the hard way not to force anything when loosening or thightening stuff on carbs.
Is...
So I took my carbs apart for a thorough cleaning. I made sure that the carb cleaner sprayed through those tiny holes XSLeo mentioned. I also checked all the other passages for good flow. But the little hole I have encircled in the picture below seems to be clogged in both carbs. I assume this is...
Thanks for all the info. Now that I have a better understanding of how the passages run inside the carb it might be easier to pinpoint the problem.
Ignition timing, valve timing and valvelash are all set to spec so there shouldn't be any issues with that. Cleaning out the carbs was one of the...
Running without the pods seems to make things a little better, but it's hard to gauge since its getting more air now thereby leaning out the engine more.I'll try to find an H pipe somewhere locally and purchase some UNI filters. And maybe I'll let someone with more experience do the carb...
I messed around with my carbs some more and I found that when I mount my filters, the inside of the rubber might be blocking off or restricting the oblong shaped hole and the other small inlets on the intake side of the carb.
Could it be as simple as finding a filter that fits better and...
The bike wasn't complete when I bought it, that's why i'm running these pleated pod filters since they are the cheapest option. But foam filters do seem to make a lot more sense on CV carbs now that I think about it. I've also been thinking about doing a single carb conversion with a mikuni...
A few months ago I purchased a 1977 Yamaha xs360. The bike was in a very rough condition when I bought it so i spent these last months rebuilding nearly everything.
I'm running stock-ish (not open) exhausts and the original carbs with pod filters. I replaced the #130 main jet with a #135 to...
