Re: Factory Paint Compatability
This is off topic, but Tim, your avatar is distracting. In a good way of course.

Re: 75/6 Carburetor problem (?)
Second to last up date. I got the new jet today and installed it. Seems to be much better. It doesn't seem to choke any more on the side with the new jet when using the "pull on the cable" method of testing. I haven't had a chance to go ride and properly adjust the carbs, so that will hope...

Re: 75/6 Carburetor problem (?)
Since there is nothing like resurrecting an old thread... The bike still never ran quite right. I narrowed the problem down to an idle jet - I would change it between left and right and fiddle with the carburetor in which that particular idle jet was installed. New o-ring, made sure it wasn't clogge...

Re: I just removed my first valve spring!
Hi Rob, Saw you made it, removing the valve spring! :) indeed often the valve will not go out, because of partial wear, as you mentioned, and sometimes because of a little rim on the stem, caused bij the 2 retainers! With a stone I remove that rim. Removing valves always hurts the valve guide thoug...

Re: 75/6 Carburetor problem (?)
So the dealer was able to order a replacement 140 jet. My carburetors are 64/32/09 & /10. Interesting to note the Bing manual says those should be for the 75/5 with a jet of 135 and Clymer says those are for the /6 or /5 buy with a 135 jet. I guess the good news is with the new o-ring for the id...

Re: 75/6 Carburetor problem (?)
Yes, I've closed on a house here, near the airport. Ken Well, at least you'll be close to Big Twin. Pretty sure there are no wood nymphs there and the only Sirens are on the cop bikes. Let me know if you want to help work on my bike - you know, if you get bored. :lol: I've got a laundry list of min...
