Back running again 75 550K
« on: June 29, 2016, 12:34:34 PM »
End of last year my 550 started to run poorly, so off came the carbs for cleaning, but apparently I was not able to clear the emolistion tubes. It would run fine part choke but not other wise. So off came the carbs again, this time I shipped them off to Old School Carbs in San Jose. while they were gone had a buddy paint the tank stripes on, and clear the tank. The Carbs look great, he replates all the small parts and brackets. Mounted with new intake boots, put fuel to it and started right up and ran perfect. I love it when a plan comes together. Getting a new set of Dunlops on this weekend and good to go. Check her out

Your bike looks awesome. What exhaust are you using? It looks nice. Can you describe the sound?
