he did say the bike ran good BEFORE he removed and rebuilt the carbs, doesn't take a PhD to figure that out, before anybody takes apart and rebuilds a carb they must know how it works, the flow of low pressure air is what moves the gas thru the carb, some of you guys call low pressure air a vacuum, there is not such thing as a vacuum, a vacuum is a higher pressure air rushing into and replace a low pressure, just like the fuel pump on ur car doesn't pump the fuel, the fuel pump creates a lower pressure on one side then the higher pressure of the air thats above the gas inside the gas tank pushes in to replace it, air has weight, the weight of air is what pushes gas thru ur carb, as soon as any of you guys understand that you will be better informed than any motorcycle mechanic.

Dear Mr Mintbread, Like I said before, "There is no such thing as a vacuum" air has weight, at sea level 14.7psi of air is pushing down on you, when you create a lower pressure, just a tiny bit say 14.5 psi the 14.7 air will rush and flow in and equalize the pressure. What causes the wind to blow? Its higher pressure air rushing into a lower pressure. Im explainning it as simple as I can so maybe you can understand. A Vacuum is the flow of high pressure air rushing in to replace and equalize a lower pressure. How does an airplane fly? Is it a vacuum under the wings? I just think in a higher level than what you can understand, thats why I know more than any motorcycle mechanic.

ok all i just tore it all apart again and found my problem!!! when i put the carbs back together i put my jets in the wrong spots i had both secondary jets on one side and both primary on the other.
Put it all back together and now she runs like a dream again. Oh yeah and my VACUUM lines are now in the right spot too.

Moto I have reconciled my hatred and comtempt for you with nothing but pure love. I hope you don't get kicked off this site - your entertainment value is far too high.MotoF150 wrote:as soon as any of you guys understand that you will be better informed than any motorcycle mechanic.


I think its great. Thank-you Moto for once again making me realize that I'm no where near the bottom of the evolutionary chain. The world is a better place with people like you....someone to fetch my coffee and muffin in the morning.
