So I figured it out. The other night I decided to double check my compression and my gage wouldnt even give me a reading for the left side. I couldnt figure it out why. So with a phone call to my brother, he suggested a leak down. Not having the equipment, I put her together and fired her up and...
Alright. So I checked te timing and points gap. All is well there. Float levels are good. Clean carbs. Put brand new plugs in. The left is black as sin. The right is white. I did get it to idle for about 5 minutes at about 1000 rpm. But that was with idle adjustment screw turned all the way in...
Here's the run down. 1978 Kawasaki kz400b. Had bad piston rings. So I replaced them, everything is good as far as that goes. Heres the thing that's driving me nuts... The guy I bought it off had put pods on it. I can't get it to idle for sh!t. It runs rich. Which confuses me because wouldn't it...
Yeah, I figured they were. Like I said, I'll just have to get a few and try em out.
I might have to get me a set of those shocks. Budgets low at the moment, but I'll get em eventually.
Thanks again for you're time. I really do appreciate it.
Haha... Right on. Well the diagram I had a link to was showing that there was a main jet, secondary main jet, and a pilot jet (slow) that has a little rubber plug that goes in with it. I didn't know if you changed all of them or what.
I use to own a 74 cb750 that had pods and needed re jetted...
I apologize. I'm confused now. Haha... So you changed both the main and the secondary main to the 108? But then changed the pilots to the 82. Did I get that correct? Basically I should get 4 main jets to replace the the 4 90 mains and 2 82 pilots to replace the 2 70? Again, I apologize.
So you replaced the 90 with 108 an the 70 with 82? Did you change out your pilot? I'm sorry for so many questions. We pretty much have the exact same set up and I've been looking everywhere for answers and this is the closest I've come.
Ahhh... I see now. You were saying the stock were 90 and 70 and that you were using 108 and 82. My bad. I didn't understand at first. Thanks you so much. I'm gonna give those numbers a try.
