Coast to Coast
Thanks teazer. The PO did a really good job finding parts that he knew needed to be replaced. Like I said, I got parts galore. With that being said, there was an extra set of carbs in those boxes, and there were 2 carbs on the engine already. I figured he got an extra set of carbs because there was something wrong with those. I rebuilt the extra set, and they have the tall slides. The 2 that were on the bike had the short slides. I don't know if I have tall caps. I'm going to say no.
So... The carbs that I rebuilt (the spare set) will not accept the shorter slides (from the ones on the engine) because that little tit in the carb is too tall. Maybe I can just file that down a little and I can put the shorter slides in there? Makes sense as the carbs look pretty much identical and all the jet sizes matched up to the ones I replaced with the rebuild kits. Plus, the short slides are hooked up to a brand new throttle cable. Hopefully I did a good job explaining.
Note: I said in my previous post that the spare carbs may have been from a 550 because the PO had a bunch of 550 parts, too. He did mention that alot of the parts interchanged.
