I'll be rebuilding the carbs on my SIX next week.
I wonder if I should do internal baffling while they're open. What are the benefits to this mod? Perry, Gint, JP, Brad, Lawrence, Sean, Root? Any other advice ( besides keeping the four ) would be appreciated. KT |

Carbs are back on the SIX.
Started instantly. High Idle. Tuned it down. Good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Problem is this: I think the float level adjustment is wrong on one bank. Fuel is leaking out around the base. I turned the fuel PSI down to 2.5 but it still dribbles. I guess I'll pop the top and bend the tab up a scoaschie. The rebuild kit came with new fuel inlet needle valves. The length of them may be a hair shorter or the washers thicker not allowing the fuel to shut off when the bowl is full. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have to set the a/f after the flood is over. KT |
