after letting the jb weld dry i put the intake on the bike and attached the carb. the new carb is gigantic so its kind of a bitch to get installed, but i think this is going to be worth it.

Turn the key… Choke… Kick… Kick… VROOOOOM… started right up. Checked for air leaks: None. Awesome. I can tell i’m lean at idle because it dies if i take it off choke. As far as the main jet… on the 18 i was running a 115 main jet and i think i was just about right. the 24 has a 95 in it stock so i’m probably lean, but man when this thing opens up all 24 millimeters it sounds MEAN. I’m totally stoked.

next steps:
-figure out an air filter situation. space is limited because this carb is so huge. i dont think a regular air filter will fit so I’ll probably just use some pantyhose.
-the carb is leaking gas a bit so i need to figure out where that’s coming from and plug it up.
-i’ve got an oil leak from the transmission but i think i just need to make a new gasket for the transmission cover
-tune this bitch.
-RIDE THIS BITCH.
