stock carb + exhaust +air filter set up

[Jamoi]

So what was the verdict on your set up in the last post big sheep lovin' fella?

[lloydie]

Mixtures too rich .
I went to 1.5 rear and 1.25 front and it ran well

[Jamoi]

Hmm... How many turns out on the A/F mixture screws F&R would you go for initially on my setup?

I've got the sheared screw out:

Just popped these thumbscrew jobbies in

[lloydie]

Start at 2 f and 2.25 r then go in a 1/4 turn till it's just right .
Well done getting it out !!!

[Jamoi]

Thanks dude I'll try those settings, then have a read on how to get the "blip test" just right.

Just need to sort the valve clearances now :eek

[lloydie]

Never done the blip test myself as I like to ride it and feel the difference .
I set my by going in to 3/4 turns out so it lean surges then turn out 1/4 till it stops ,make a note of there position and keep going out 1/4 turn till it rich surges and take a note .
I then set it half way between the two for a base setting . Then I'll go in or out 1/8 till it's crisp
The thumb screws make this easier and more so with the overflow bottle removed :-)

[Jamoi]

I'll do that ^ cheers mate.

I do like your HRC baby bottle

[lloydie]

It's handy for setting the the carbs as it's out the way and once it's set up I'll refit the standard one .
Dyno next month :-)

I have had 3 sets of carbs but all have been dyno jetted Carl so I don't know standard setting .

8541 hawk has a setup for standard carbs/ needles/ 48 pilots etc/ standard air filter/slip on,s
you need to read it yourself there's loads of info
let us know how you get on

Of course you can always ask about that thread right here......

Also the "base line" pilot adjustment recommendation is a bit on the rich side. I did that as a lot of folks just do the base line and don't adjust from there so I would rather have them a bit rich than too lean.
I guess it's old habits from the 2 stroke days, hey I even still cover the clutch when riding......
