What year gixxer shock did you put in
To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead.

K7 from memory. Nothing wrong with the standard gear after a service, but the gixxer shock didn't fit in the sidecar.

OK. Pull out your plugs if some are black, that carb has worn emulsion tube. Economy suffers and plug eventually fouls.
I trialed and got 83km on reserve. Which meant I was ttaking several litres on tour and never using them. Take the tank bottom off and cut a good inch off the reserve brass tube. Then.
Away from the tank.
Desolder the fuel sender and resolder it underneath where it used to live on the pole.
This means your light doesn't turn on for another 50 k and you don'thave to fight the dumb fuel tap. Think my range was 320k
Don't you look at my accountant.

Reading alot of nightmares in regards to these carbs will anything else decent direct fit, i've got it running pretty sweet but in the process of doing so found many many people dealing with these carbs having alot of wear issues.

Spend the money once on new emulsion tubes, you'll never need to worry about it again.
Set of flat slife's will go straight in. Got $2500 to buy them and have them set up?

Thought they were flatslides...
Not keen to spend $2500 on carbs for a $800 bike.
I assume you are talking about the Mikuni RS series not the OEM Mikuni BDST36SS?

Until those ones wear out. The problem is the plastic runners the slides bear on get worn so the slides have more movement and wear the tubes faster. There's a rf thread on here where I explained with a crude drawing how to make inserts for the emulsion tubes so you could replace them cheaply.

Yeap, i've seen picture of the ovalling and figured it was due to the crappy plastic slides...
Would that happen to be in the snapping jet needles thread... it popped up alot during rf searches.

Can't find thread ATM, but bad photo above thread shows. I got the old tubes bores out say 8- 10mm and like a 6mm tube insert that could slide in. That was drilled with a point drill (ie 3.6 or whatever) matched to the best original emulsion tube and turned on a small accurate lathe. Find local toolmaker.
Then superglue the tubes in. Make a handful of inserts and swap any out that don't produce clean plugs or wear. A decent dose of flame will break the glue.
I might have found the drill I used in my jet kit last weekend, but thought I'd given it away, give me approximately size drill you can stick down and I'll post it to you if it seems right.

Hmmm i have a friend who does alot of CAD work and runs a business 3d printing so i could possibly get something done.
It's running alright, had a missing o ring for a pilot screw so i ordered that, couldn't find a solid answer on the turns for them, however the ends of the needles have been ball pointed from over tightening, the same person who lost the o-ring i assume. i put them all at 2 1/2 turns out and its purring along quite nicely. Any knowledge on what would be a good base setting for these from a light seat in?
Very sharp throttle response just a fraction of bogging between 1200 to 1400 rpm on initial throttle application. I mean heck its good enough now and a hell of a lot better than it was and it needs an air filter too so no point fiddling much more until that is replaced. was also looking at going for an inline fuel filter than the gorse caps on the needle seats. Shouldn't cause any issue removing them and going for an inline?
Still has a little bit of flame pop if you give it around 8-9k and close off id say its around the 6k mark as the pilots role steps in more.
Plugs gapped at oem spec.

Alrighty will look into it cheers!
Drew reckoned he had a set of carbs kicking around so i was thinking id strip those down and build them to last then swap them in later...
It's really no suprise i'm having issues when she had sat for 3 years and has 68k on the clock... i gotta say it's running pretty sweet overall just i guess i'm a pedantic bastard lol

Inline filters can be a complete swine on tightly packed bikes as the straight bit then kinks the fuel line causingsstarvation. They do make right angled ones though.
I spent ages getting my rf sorted and keeping it that way. Fiddly operation tank off blah blah.

PM me your address then and I'll post them up.
I didn't struggle to put a filter in there, that I can remember at least.

Trying to blot the memories but the tap was remote so maybe there was ok line length. I also made an extension tap lever so a gloved hand could actually turn the tap whilst riding.
Cutting the tube made this a far less often occurance
