carb slide gap


Recommended Posts

what size should the gap be between the bottom of the slides and the carbs? I'm not to sure if there set to far closed or not.

 

You should be able to hear them clank when they bottom out on the carbs. So in other words as far down as they will go...

The clank sound is when it hits the idle screws, If the slides bottomed out it would not idle at all because no air. I got my shee running pretty good now at a idle on both cylenders. The left carb slide is open just a little more than the right side though. This is the only way i could get her to idle good with out flooding the left side out. Is that ok or should they be dead nutz even with each other. I dont have a flow meter to sync them with. They lift at the same time perfectly when i open the throtal.

They should be dead nuts even. The flow meter is invaluable. When I set mine by eye and checked with the flow meter they were off by about 50% flow!

 

If one is higher at idle then the other then one is drawing more air which carries more fuel then the other.
