Thanks

Working on the carbs, when I tried to disconnect the fuel line this happened ........ How to make sure the fitting stays put ?

With a book and the help from this site, I can manage to figure it out. I have a mechanical background, so it should be ok. What you say is true, I'd love to tear it down and rebuild the whole thing. When I save up some extra money, I want to buy another one ( a nice one) and ride it while I go...

But when I said it's been a pain in the ass, did you feel the common bond and laugh a little? I sure did. It's all love for these things.

Hmmm, could have the seized piston gotten so hot that it melted some paint from the carbs perhaps ? Or something of that nature? Or now that you mention that, maybe it's my junky air filters, the top pops off sometimes and maybe some junk got down there. Thanks for your help by the way, you are...

It's been a pain in the ass ever since I bought it last year. Piston seized at one point, had a top end rebuild. There was only a small window of time after the rebuild when it ran good. The mechanic specifically chose the jet sizes, and tuned it via the exhaust manufactures recommendations. So...

Maybe time to clean the jets ?

Not so much a bog, not sure what cavitation is, but sounds like it might be that

Thanks a lot

I purchased what you recommended. Now I just have to re read this thread to see what to tune them to.

Maybe I should buy the jets recommended above, where's a place to purchase from ?

Thank you.

Thanks. Counter clockwise is richer,right? I get confused because I'm thinking airplane terms, I fly cessnas and counter clockwise on the mixture knob is leaner.

760 dual 38's. Protec exhaust ( not sure what specific model). My mechanic jetted them at 1.5 N+S, 95 spring,130 mains, 70 pilot. The website for the exhaust said to go 1-1/2 turns on the lows and 2 turns on the highs, so this is what he tuned them to. The thing runs too rich Im thinking, it...

That's what I was wondering, not that it matters but I figured some would laugh and label me a poser. Who cares right? It's my brain, not theirs.

I definately take chances, however I was just curious what you guys had to say

Thanks, thats a good point.

I ride often at a small lake by my house, alone. I am somewhat of an average rider. I don't do any tricks, yet. My question is, do you guys recommend that I wear a helmet ?

It came with a 760 dual carbed engine, dual mukuni 38's. Starts right up, then it bogs at WOT and won't go past 5 mph. If I hold the throttle mid way for 10 min or so, it will go fast. The odd thing is when I hit a small wake, it will usually help it out of its funk. Once I reduce throttle, the...

What's a lord mount ?
