Re: should I invest in one of these carb sync tools?
This is the one I bought, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CARBTUNE-PRO-4-COLUMN-CARBURETOR-SYNCHRONIZER-BALANCER-W-TOOL-POUCH/222463312429?hash=item33cbd8c22d:g:s90AAOSwED5Z0-zY I have never had much luck with the dial gauge type as the needles are far too jittery to be of much use accuracy wise, even th...

Re: should I invest in one of these carb sync tools?
Hi juntoo, what type of sync tool is it? can you provide a link? A bench sync can be good enough to get you in the ball park but you may need a sync tool to get the carbs as close as possible. I bench sync'd my slide carbs on my 650 Custom and the bike ran reasonably well, it wasn't until I used my ...

Re: No spark or power
As Folsoml said, something is obviously not connected up right. If you had connected everything correctly then this wouldn't be happening. The only thing that I have experienced that is even remotely similar to what you describe is when my starter button was stuck with grease and grime and when I tu...

Re: No spark or power
Hi Gaije, using that Tapatalk thingy does kinda sound like you are running out of oxygen and going to die immediately. Slow down dude and please explain what is occurring in real time

You poor buggers, how do you cope? Maybe the U.N. will parachute in some relief supplies of extra cold beer and ice cream

Re: Distorted Carb Inlet and Metal Choke Replacement
Hi Folsoml, yes I have checked the carbs for size, they are identical apart from the air cut offs. I've read about blanking the little buggers off but seeing as I picked this rack up for peanuts I'm going to refurb them and see if there is any difference to the running. It's more sort of an experime...

Re: Distorted Carb Inlet and Metal Choke Replacement
Thanks MEHall, if it isn't that important I was figuring to fill the dented section with epoxy putty and file it to shape for the airbox rubber to seal to.

Re: Where to get raised white letter tires?
Hi papa, you are welcome mate but that is all I could come up with. I presume that you are in the U.S.? I don't think that tyres with RWL are, or ever have been in demand in the UK as I don't ever recall seeing any on sale over here.

Re: Engine advise please
Hi Riche and thanks, I'm happy that I could help :D I haven't fixed (or broken) anything in quite a while as I've been sorting out a shed to work in, I'm getting too old for kneeling on concrete :( I was going over your thread the other day as I've bought a CB650Z engine, carbs, frame and forks that...

Seems like the easy solution to me, these are listed in the UK so they must be available in the US.
