Hello all,
I am doing a bench sync on my VM26 carbs; while doing so, using the Musser carb rebuild instructions of BassCliffs website, my #2 carb slide does not completely close as the rest of the carbs do when bottoming out the slides. I would say there is .5 mm difference with light shining through ( the others are little or no light coming through). The difference seems to be in the adjustment screw as there is no adjustment left to lower the slide further. So in this case should I sync the rest of the carbs to the #2 carb?
Here is a picture of #2 and #1.
Other strange things going on here; the idle screw adjustment has very little adjustment left when contacting the cable pully, maybe 1 1/4 full turn. This bike, a '78 GS1000C, has had parts from other bikes added to it for replacement, most obvious was a 80-81 tank; a seat that has had the seat hinges modified to fit; and now I am thinking that carb parts and associated linkage may have been swapped in. Definately a mutt.
