To abuse a phrase..."what difference did it make?" :ohmy:

It stopped spitting out of the carbs, the idle was better and the pilot system works better. :woohoo:

If that's pods with stock jetting, I'm surprised you can even ride it. Will run terribly lean.

starts and runs, just feels like that 1 cylinder is down.
was riding it last week for first time with 70 140 and it was great. slowly its been getting worse, now i dont want to ride it, just fix it is all i can think about.

i just went through the manual about the valve adjust service, didnt see anything about removing the buckets to get to the shims. i also saw the special tool for shimming. does it let you remove the bucket an shims without removing the cams?

You need a manual. You do take out the cams to get to the buckets on a 750 four, not on a twin.

What manual said that?? Ed

no manual said that, i was just asking about the tool.

i have the manual in pdf, thats all so far.

The special tool is for 900/1000s you defently need to remove the cams and buckets for shim removal and new carb holders were one of the best investments I made in my opinion..... they may look ok but won't reseal at the head once they are removed and sealer is only temp.

where is the best deal on new carb holder (intake boots) ?

I got a set from Z1 and another for the smooth bores over Ebay...... was 2 years ago already now.
