    where can I find choke lever?

    Does anyone know where I can find the choke lever that goes on the side of the carb for a 77 xs360. Mine fell off and I have not been able to find a replacement without buying the full carb.

    stock mufflers?

    I have an exhaust from a 360 that I am not using. I'm not sure if they are the same as the 400. I am across the river from you. Let me know if you want pictures or need measurements.

    Pod filter carb tuning

    Thought I would share my setup. 1977 XS360. Original pilot was 17.5 and main was 135. I'm running Uni pods and a 2-1 exhaust with a Kerker canister. I now have a 20 pilot and 145 main. The needle was raised one slot and the mixture screws are out about 3 turns. Everything runs great, smooth at...

    I painted the frame, now it won't start.

    It was the coil wires. I switched them and it fired right up. Now my problem is that the engine races when it is running. I shortened the throttle cable and I need to make sure I have it routed correctly. It seems to be hanging up somewhere. Posted via Mobile

    I painted the frame, now it won't start.

    I sanded down to bare metal for the two ground wires. I will check and make sure there aren't any other spots where contact is needed. I will double check the coil wires tomorrow. Thanks for the replies. Posted via Mobile

    I painted the frame, now it won't start.

    So I decided to strip down the frame and paint it. I got it back together and I can't get it to start. The petcock was leaking when I filled the tank and it hadn't before. The kickstart seemed to have more resistance than before. After kicking it over several times I was getting a loud backfire...

    Hello. I am looking to order some jets from mikes xs but I can't figure out which ones I need. I pulled the jets from the carbs and the pilot is 17.5 and the main is 130. The manual calls for 17.5 and 135. The pilot jet does not have any holes on the side of it. I would like to order 135's and...

    Here is a picture of my bike when I first got it and one I took yesterday. I am planning on laying some fiberglass on the seat on Monday. Tomorrow I will fine tune the shape and make sure everything is symmetrical. I have never worked with fiberglass so I am not expecting much. I suspect I will...
