    Wel they are brand new! I suppose that the float level isnt 100%

    I left one of the old needles when i couldnt get one of the screws of that holds the slide together. Could it be that? I will check the levels again. How do i get a damaged screw out? My screwdriver fits perfect, but one of the screwheads are badly damaged.

    Just installed a carb rebuild kit and the bike idle and runs real smooth, starts really easy. But it sort of got less power over 3000 now. And not really a peak at any rev. It still leaks a bit from the tubes from the carbs when turning of the engine.

    Oh, the carbs to leak from the overflow of the floats every time i turn it of!

    I turned the point assembly to the right and the bike ran better, not so much backfire. But the timing Gun dont flash that often an low revs, or should i say, constant. At really low rpm the 1cylinder backfire. The timing mark shows a bit to the left both on low rpm and high so i assume that...

    Swapmeet Louie, 1+ on that! Teazer, I could take some pics today. The float levels were 22-23mm, and that should be correct? Any advice on how to losen the screws to the slide making it possible to reach the needle? Sounds like a good idea to get a set of new jets for the carbs! Will check...

    I would say nr 3. All dry black, the second cylinder a bit wet sometimes. Thanks Belle! Where do I order my new jets? Dosn't seem to exist in Sweden.

    The plugs are what is standard in the manual, the heat nr is 7 anyway. The old that said 8 had the exact same problem. The exhaust header goes seperatly into the muffler and have its own little pipe at the end. Cant find no blocking in them anyway. Running without pods didnt make a differance...

    Standard jets and needleposition, but still running rich?

    Standard jet size should be main: 100 pilot: 40 And about 2-3 steps up should be good value with pods? Also one step up on the needle, but what is standard value on the needle?

    Any suggest where i find stock settings for the carbs? I don't think i'll manage to find an airbox just like that thou. It's been sitting for about 11 years and the pod filters don't look that free flowing. Some new filters and set carbs back to stock and go from there perhaps? Standard changes...

    Hi! I bought a CB500 the other day. Already own a CB650 that allways runs like a dream. The 500 dont have any power at low rpm, run unsmooth at 4000, good at 6500+ I've got it new spark plugs, but they got black at an instance. It got pod filters, they were on the bike when i bought it. Any input?
