man i am about too fall asleep..how did i get all the way to Colortune?? Guess its about shower and pillows time.

 

[rustybronco]

I found one that was bent or something and the 2 sides were way off. I had to tweek the floats so they were each at the same heghts.. Just an FYI .

Chuck, don't you remember anything I taught you? that was one of the things I showed you to double check.

now your beginning to grasp it all! good on ya!

 

[chuck hahn]

Hey i cant remember every detail from 2 summers ago!! But at least i was astute enough to relise i had better check both sides!! Even a blind rat get a piece of cheese now and then..LOL

 

[rustybronco]

Doesn't the side to side difference in a bent float make you wonder how many people check their float height and yet miss that one little detail... sure can make for a bit of variance in the actual fuel height.

Even a blind rat get a piece of cheese now and then..LOL

What about one with pinkeye?

 

[chuck hahn]

Yes. It also poses the possibility of the hingeing of the float on the pin to work stiffer and less responsive than if the leverage was spread evenly across the entire hinge. The amount of gas coming in and the amout going out has to be somehow balanced and if the hinge is weired then so will be the feed..the engine is still demanding the same amout of gas and wont be able to get it and act all funny. Least thats how i see it.

 

[chuck hahn]

yeah..wrenching on them with pinkeye and blurred vision and even i can get it..theres still hope!!!!! And dont forget the 2 year old glasses that the prescription was way out of date on..

I am also in the hunt for my own set of guages. Any suggestions or experiences of what you guys have is appreciated.. And i dont want to BUILD my own.. I was looking at a Colortune.i think that was the name..whatever.

Extremely HIGHLY recommended selection (CARBTUNE) I have had 4 other sets of sync gauges in the past 25+ years and all were in extremely good condition and well maintained.

Since I got my CARBTUNE's I threw them (my 4 other sets) in the bin!!!!

I also got 2x COLORTUNE's (clear glass windowed sparkplugs) and they have proven their worth!

I use them in 1 & 3 then 2 & 4

After doing the float heights, rechecking the valves again, putting some 3 bond around the rubber cam cover ends and letting dry all night, i finally took the 77 750 out and i am happy to report that she has been transformed from the sluggishness of a blood hound to a pure bred greyhound! Lots of quick non hesitant response and she climbs thru the gears like a rocket ship. I then came home and took the 78 750 E for a comparison run..and they are very much similar in performance.. Thanks everyone.

And now you are the local carburetor expert.

 

[chuck hahn]

OHH NO.. Far from that . I probably know about 1/4 of what you guys know, but i am learning. When before it stuggled..and i literally mean struggled to get up to 80 at full wide open throttle i am now slapping around at nearly 100 and it still has little bit left. I probably could have gotten close to 110ish except its pretty windy right now and the crosswinds were getting pretty rough even at about 97 or 98 MPH. I had to back off to be safe.

What you learned is the important part, that you can understand it, do it and get it right.

Now go fix some more carbs.

 

[chuck hahn]

LMAO I got 4 more to do the carbs, valves, timing, and syncing on. I got lots of practice bikes to supply the rest of my summer with tinkering..

 

[Throttle Jockey]

tatu read my siganture!! I got 2 DAMNED 1000s. I understand that the principle is all the same ..BUT the SETTINGS are not ALL THE SAME ..even from year to year models on the 750s they arent all the same... I wasnt insulting yiour 1000 or anyone else..GHEEZ!. I really just want 77 750 B information only plz.

Ok Mr Expert, then buy a factory service manual! Jeeeez!

 

[chuck hahn]

When and where did i ever , in any vain of sincerity, claim to be a carb expert?? Thats just laughable!! By the way, if you read from the start to the end every post you would have seen this is my FIRST crab TUNING experience.. I can tear them down and reassemble jut fine. It was the tuning and trouble shooting that was confuing me. And coupled with that, i didnt know all the terminology so i could logically form a question or explain what i wanted to know. And youll also see that once it got untwisted that i went back and made the appropriate acknowledgemnets and apologys. Welcome to the GSR and i promise not to remind you of your FIRST post when you are sitting there ready to pull the top of your head off so the steam can escape. Have agreat evening and keep a stiff upper lip.
