Is it possible to go back to stock from stage-3 kit?

I ask this because In order to install the stage-3 kit I had to drill the slides with the supplied drill bit.
I'm seriously considering going back to stock with the bike and foregoing all the adjustment crap with this bloody stage-3 Rich-kit.
I don't need a constantly rich running bike...I need a running bike.
After thinking a bit...if i go back to stock with that godawful stock airbox I should be up and running right? Or will I now have to buy a new set of carbs?

What size CV's do you have? I have a rack of 32mm with 4 good slides, I'd be happy to sell to you.
 
Those are the CV carbs that I need. I currently have the same ones used in the carb-cleaning guide. How much do you want for them and do you accept paypal?

Edit: Are you selling the whole rack of carbs or just the slides?
If the price is right I would prefer to buy the whole rack of carbs.

Thank you,
Dm of mD
 
If the only un fixable change is the hole in the slides try it with all the stock carbs and ill bet that the only change from stock performsnce will be a better throttle resaponse.

Someone finally admits the truth about the almighty jet kit. 8O
 
Okay, Then this weekend if leaning out the carbs and changing to more powerful coils doesn't do the trick I'm going back to stock and using the drilled slides as well.

Thank you gang. :)

I'm still buying another carb rack for spare parts.
Might as well get it over with.

When I installed my jet kit I had to install new air jets that are on the edge of each intake bell. Plus they had to be glued in. Did you have to do that too?
 
Increasing the output voltage of the coils will have no effect on the mixture the carbs are putting into the cylinder. The fuel burn will be exactly as before. If the mixture is rich, the plugs will still foul.

I had to do that as well. I made sure that no glue got into the holes. Only around the edge to seal it off.

Ah damn. So much for that theory. :roll: Well, I'll adjust the Jet-needles to one position leaner and turn the mix screws in half a turn and see what happens. Thanks man. :) Eventually I'll get this sorted out. I've purchased the parts to go back to stock but let me ask you this.

The airbox for the GS750L extends allllllll the way into under the seat.
I noticed that on Harrison Clement's bike the airbox stops at the airbox in the engine area and doesn't extend to under the seat/over the battery like on my bike. Could I use the airbox from his type of bike to avoid the hassle that my stock one causes?
Mounting it is no issue. I could mount a llama onto the back of an elephant if you give me enough metal bits and straps :D

Hehe,

But can't a weak coil cause symptoms similar to running rich? even when using stock settings and jets?
 
I was thinking the same thing. When the coil went out on my VN750 I had a bad gassy exhaust just like I'm having with the GS750 playing with this silly jet-kit. :roll:

Dm of mD
 
When I installed the Accel coils, the instructions said to go up a jet size to compensate for a hotter spark. I don't know the reason because they didn't explain. Perhaps the Dyna coils don't have that instruction.

Harrison
 
Would Katana Coils put out as much output as the accel or Dyna coils? Cause I've already done the "Go up in main Jet size" part by-way-of this quirky stage-3 jet kit. :P

Dm of mD
 
I think the trouble is that you went to a stage 3 instead of a stage1. The stage 3 jet kit is for modified intake AND exhaust, whereas you have only a modified intake. It would probably be easier going to a V&H or Mac exhaust at this point. Just remember what I told you about the exhaust bolts breaking. Perhaps some of the experts here will comment. (Yo, Nick, Kieth, Earl, give it up to help a brother)

Harrison
 
Well, do I HAVE to get the 4-1 header? I'm still wondering about just chopping off the cans at the collector and clamping on the HD Dyna Mufflers that I have in my room. The single central baffle on them can be punched out to make it a free-flowing system. That should be just as good asx any v&H megaphone system from what I've seen of my friend marcus' bike. he has a megaphone 4-1 on his kz 1000 and its just the header pipes into another big ass hollow pipe. at least the dyna mufflers would be somewhat quieter.

:?
Dm of mD
 
You can certainly do anything you want, but if I were in your shoes, I'd sell the stock system. It seems to be in good shape and you may be able to get $200 for it. The aftermarket exhaust systems are designed to give a performanc boost, whereas just chopping off the old mufflers and clamping on the Dyna cans may be less of an enhancement. Admittedly it costs less, but a new V&H or Mac system costs about $300 and if you get $200 for the stock system you will only be spending $100 which is pretty cheap. Maybe some other members have an idea. How about y'all saying something about this?

Harrison
 
Well, I'll see about the whole exhaust thing. I'm not looking for a rocket but your system looks great. If I could just find a header without the can/pipe i'd be good to go. That shouldn't cost over 150 used I would think.
