Should I start with the springs and get the discs if I need them or get the whole ball of wax? I changed out the discs back in 2008 (i think) because the originals disintegrated.
This next one might stir up a hornets nest but...I run Mobil1 in all my machines that dont get AMES. That being said, could that be attributing to some of the slippage? I hear these older bikes prefer conventional.
And new updates...last night I rode it up to the fuel station and put about 3 gallons of gas in it. This morning I was awoken by the smell of gas wafting through my house. The bike is living in an attached garage and when I went out to check on things I was met with the site of probably 2 gallons of that gas on the floor
I swore I set all the floats at 17mm however it would seem I didn't get the #2 float set properly as it's got a slow -> steady dribble out it's overflow. Is it possible to drop the bowl, adjust the float, and reset the bowl with the carbs on the bike or do they have to come off?
I had the petcock in the "off" position and had rebuilt it. Is there anyway I could have put it together backwards or wrong? Is it possible to fit one from a different bike since the F petcocks seem to be made from unobtanium?
I'll poke around the search feature and see what I can dig up but any help would be appreciated. I'm a tad frustrated but eventually the kinks will get worked out.
