Carb Question

[Bob_Roller]

Ran into another problem due to the carb mismatch .

The jet needle, that's one that is in the slide , the /335 carb has a threaded plug you remove to get the needle out, then you remove and 'e' clip out of the groove on the needle, the /326, has the needle type that you pull on and rotate to get it out of the slide .

Not a great picture of the needles, but it's the best i could get .



Can't 'modify'  the replacement needle to work with what I've got .

I'm going to have lunch and think about this for a bit .

Lunch is over gotta plan now !!!!

Alright, the '84 LS parts bike has come in  handy again, it's got the 64/32/335 and /336 carbs, so I'll remove one of the slides from a carb and use it .

If I had known what issues I was going to have, I would have taken both carbs off of the '84 LS and done a rebuild on them and put them on the '82 LS !!!!!!

Yeah, Bob. That's what I was thinking...  [smiley=whistling.gif]

Lunch must have agreed with you. Ain't parts bikes a godsend?

[Bob_Roller]

A 'spare parts bike' has come in handy more than once in the last 3 years !

But when I finally get around to working on the '84 LS, it's going to get expensive !!!!!!

Couldn't get the idle jet cleared out on the right carb, I had a set of #40 idle jets in the 'spare' parts that came with the '84 LS .

So I replaced the idle jets in both carbs, I went from #45, to #40 .

I assume the smaller the number, the larger the metering orifice .

Other way around Bob.  The 40 pilot is a smaller jet and may require slightly more turns out of the idle mixture screw.

Thanks barry .

Got both carbs reassembled and installed on the bike, filled the  fuel tank to about half, turned the fuel tap on and let it sit for 10 minutes, no overflowage like I had before !!!!
