Mis-drilled carb slide.

[afholderman]

When installing my new Dynojet kit today into the GS's CV carbs I miffed up enlarging one of the slide holes. My first slide I was very careful to enlarge the hole straight and vertical... problem is they're an angled hole. the drill bit into the inside near where the large spring rests. Where can I get a new carb slide?

I don't believe those holes have to be that precise... the larger dia hole allows the slide to drop faster - not really rocket science.

I wouldn't worry about not having a straight, perfect hole - they should work fine.

If not, use some JB weld and re drill it...

The only problem is that the hole penetrates around the plastic top-hat over the needle. If JB weld will work in that area without creating problems then that's what I'll do.

Hi,

If necessary, partsnmore.com has a carbslide/diaphragm for your bike @ $75 each. Z1 doesn't list them on their website but you might give them a call to see if they can get them at any better price.


Thank you for your indulgence,

post a picture.
the 1st few jet kits i did..i used a drill press.
not good but everything worked fine with the one sided oval holes.
i found out the best way is to let the bit follow the hole by hand.

Okay here are the pictures:

With needles and clips in place


With everything removed


The c-clip can be rotated to block the hole, but I don't know if that will do much.

On a side note blowerbike. I am in Trenton, IL which is right near Germantown, IL. Every time i see you post I initially think you live a few miles from me.

Run it
You'll be fine

That hole should work fine - give it a go.

Also, when I re-install the circlip, I rotate the little ears over the plastic, keeping the spaces open & unobstructed. I figure that will help vent the slides a wee bit faster. (OK, so I'm anal...)

As long as the hole is the correct diameter on one side or the other you're good to go.

I might have an extra carb slide if you need one. I'd have to check. PM me if interested.

Thank you for the offer. I'll run it first, and if there is a problem I'll be sure to contact you.
