After a hone and re-ring, carb rebuild, pods, and jemco street chambers I restarted the bike on second kick
During the carb rebuild I had to pick out the small orings which lie beneath the choke plunger. I found some "replacements" but the left cylinder after a bit quit firing and was very rich. Turns out I'm getting a lot of fuel bypass from the plunger, so I picked the orings back out and now the left cyl will go pop pop pop. I rechecked timing and point gaps but they are fine and set like before the teardown. BTW the bike ran great in the garage before the carb overhaul but it was jetted stock. Any-hoo, I if press down real hard on both plungers the bike runs very nicely again in the garage. Is there a solution to this? Is there a really exact o-ring to go back in there as the replacement did not seat around the orifice under the plunger like the ol chewed up oems. Also the plunger base is very hard rubber where as the stock units were softer it seemed and had a small impression in them where the sat on the orifice and perhaps seated better.
Any thoughts? I still have the old ones.
Also here is the jetting I chose. Along with Pods, Chambers, Rings, I did polish the exhaust, polish and gasket match the intake ports and removed the cyl bore steel sleeve lips on both of the ports to make them uniform to the post casting.
Initial Settings - Pilot 35, Main 160, Stock Jet Needle and Needle Jet, with the needle moved up a slot, floats to 24mm.
Thanks, In Advance,
Marion
