affirmative on clogged overflow tubes. thanks chicken. i do run an in line fuel filter, im gonna shop around for something with a finer medium. somethings obviously getting past it.

i have no fuel coming out the overflow tubes.

roger that, ill bust out the float level guage today. it gets even more puzzling... this morning i fired her up and cil. 1 is hot and firing, but cil 2 flooded!!! i dont get it. gonna pull the carbs off AGAIN and set all the float heights AGAIN and see what happens. what is recommended for...

There is also a small amount of fuel coming out of air filter number one when cil. 1 is flooded.

Hey gents. I've been battling this for a few weeks and I'm all out of ideas. Cilynder 1 floods at startup. Once the bike warms up banging on 3, I pull and dry the plug, reinstall and she purrs on all 4. I just pulled the carbs. Jets, needles, seats and floats are all clean, synced and dialed...

i was looking around and couldnt find any rock solid jetting specs that work for a 350f with pod filters. so i thought id share what works for me. 72 350f, UNI pod filters, 4 into 1 exhaust with a two chamber baffle. Stock engine. 400 foot elevation. Dyna ignition and coils. #80 main jet #40...

i run uni pod filters on my 350f. with a four into 1 exhaust my jetting is; 80 main jet 40 slow jet needle shim at 3rd notch from the top air screws 1.5 turns out she screams like a banshee. if your looking to hollow out the rear triangle for that real cafe'd look and shave some weight by...

nailed it. where my fuel line plugs into the carb rack the hose clamp had slipped off a little and it was leaking. i never noticed because i always shut the petcock off whenever i stop. thanks gents.

correct, not cv's. i went from 75 to 80 on the mains, 35 to 40 on the secondarys. i have the carbs on the bench right now. o rings are good, floats are good, everything looks spot on. im wondering if my cam chain could be a link off after the rebuild... please no.

hey gents, lets talk fuel mileage. im about to tear into my carbs but i wanted to see if anyone could offer insight on anything else it could be; my 350f purrs like a kitten, but sucks gas like nothing ive ever seen. im talking 50 miles to a tank!!!! top end is freshly rebuilt, timing is dead...

ok gents. i am stoked because i found the ping but i feel like an idiot because it was so stupid... when i had the bike on the stand running through the gears, and when i shook it around, i had a grip on the front brake. i always wondered why i couldnt hear it sitting at a stoplight, only during...

Can chain, good call. I'll check.

thanks guys, its driving me nuts! i always run high octane gas, timing is dead on at full advance. brake caliper is solid, i just rebuilt it last week and adjusted it. i removed the center stand to shave weight and checked for any chain rub. the ping stays the same volume but frequency is always...

hey gents. just wondering if any 350f fans out there have had a similar issue and can offer insight: ive got a ping. ping ping ping ddd-ing ding ding ding going on. during acceleration, and when i grab the clutch for an up shift. it sounds like a loose bolt rattling around, but its not! the bike...

I'm definitely leaning more towards ignition, its not giving me the normal starving for fuel symptoms. Im positive its 2&3. Did the old meat thermometer in the heat wrap and 2&3 are colder than 1 and 4.
