thanks guys, i totally got it ironed out, just waiting on new pilot jet's and i'm good to go. I actually swapped in some new plugs and found the tiniest air leak at the carb gasket. So with that done, the plugs are reading right on, now just need those pilots and i'm good to go for summer.

Will do, thanks guys.

Everything is sync'd, but i've got no stuck idle or racing, it actually idles smoothly at 1100 and excelerates just as smooth. Right now everything is set exactly the same, slides, jets, needles, floats set, everything identical. So it is okay to tune each cylinder independently?

Running a dual set of mikuni vm30's on a cb360 stock headers, free flow silencers. The question is can one cylinder run rich while the other is showing a pretty good plug chop? I've got no air leaks, timing is dead on, spark is strong, the bike starts first kick. With the stock carbs and...

Well the guys at THR we happy to replace the jets once i let them know of the mistake. The jets came in the mail this afternoon and as long as it doesn't snow tomorrow i should be able to give them a test run. Either way i'll be putting in an order for a range of smaller jets.

Todd, thank you for the input. I spoke with THR today, they confirmed that my carbs had the wrong mains in them and are sending out the proper jets on monday. Hopefully i'll be in business with the proper jetting by next weekend.

Yea i've got jets on order. As for the sputtering on the top end it's past the point of the needle effecting it. The needle doesn't effect much of anything after 3/4 throttle. Oh well i'll get it ironed out as soon as the jets come in.

Well i've opted to run the stock carbs for now while i do some more research and order a nice range of jets. Thanks for the input guys, i'll get some pics of the bike before and after on here pretty soon.

Well let me ask you this, aren't the hex jets rated for smaller amounts of fuel flow compared to the round jets? All of the research i've done says that most people are running 130 - 150 round jets, so if the conversion chart i found is right, a 190 hex jet should have roughly the same amount...

Nothing is wrong with the stock ones, they were freshly rebuilt by the PO. The only reason i wanted to do the swap was that i'm more familiar with mikuni/dellorto style carbs, and like the responsiveness of round slide carbs. PJ, No they were not cheap at all and after talking with them i had...

I'm running stock headers, reverse cone mufflers and pod filters on my cb360t. I just picked up a set of vm30's from todd henning that were to replace my stock carbs. The mikuni's are supposedly jetted correctly for a mild cb350 and the guys at THR seem to think they should be fine for my...

Destroyer's are rad, but that one is a older N8P pipe. The motomatic guys let the destroyer loose right after i bought the earlier version.

Well here ya go sir...

Magnums are the goto for most newb mopeders that want to a cafe bike. A maxi will work just fine as long as you're not expecting a "motorcycle cafe look", if that's the case you want to try and find a top tank moped. Also if that Maxi has an e50 motor there are TONS of hi performance parts...

Pedals = moped, moped with pedals removed = no-ped. Mopeds ride like motorcycles, legs around the bike, scooters ride like a lazy boy, legs in front. Most scooter purists don't like mopeds and most moped purists don't like scooters. Minus the all out brawling it's very mods vs rockers.

Close, it's a Motomatic N8P and man what a difference that pipe makes. I was running an estoril for a while and was hitting roughly 47 on my gps, with the N8P it's running 52.

Here's a couple i built over the summer. First on is a 1977 Garelli SuperSport XL and the second is the same make and model just a 1980.

My real job is Tattoo Maker, i work at Salvation Tattoo Gallery in Richmond VA.

Cool, thanks guys.

I guess what i'm asking is, do i have to remove the axle to get the rear wheel off ?
