#145976 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Carb removal 3 Years, 5 Months ago   You got some good advice M7, don't bother unplugging the dash..the wires are long enough to set it on top of the headlight...... Stick to the jetting that is most often used and you will be in good shape...... I think I will be heading that way on WED..I'll give ya a hollar and see how your doing..............   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #145994 GJCARVING (User) Wether you think you can or can't, your right...

I'd do it right now but x-mas and friggin' shopping are in the way.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #146114 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:Carb removal 3 Years, 5 Months ago   OK, before I do a royal f-up, IS there a way to disconnect the wire from the TPS? Or do I just need to try and work on the carb as it hangs on the side of the bike? I was hoping to be able to actually get it off the bike and on my kitchen table to do this, but I don't see a connector for the TPS wire. Anyone?

Follow the TPS wire back, it is near the backbone of the frame. Once the carb is removed, the TPS wire stays attached to it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #146118 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want.

Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:Carb removal 3 Years, 5 Months ago   First, thanks to all the patient folks who are real motorcycle mechanics for their guidance and advice. I'd have put this back together by now without you. That said, since I am getting no real joy out of messing around in my carb, I'd like to make the right selection of main jet before I button this whole thing up. The instructions that came with the jet kit from Baron indicates that a bike with baffles in the pipes should use a main jet of 172.5. Does that sound right?

I have learned this from the clinic: jetting sometimes (read usually) is trial and error. FWIW -- I am running a 170 jet, with aftermarket pipes (with baffles) and BAK. Good Luck Mark!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #146136 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:Carb removal 3 Years, 5 Months ago   170 is a good starting point.....some are leaner (lower #). None of the kits come with the right main , I bought a Mikuni 170 at my local dealer. BB   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
