Re: What epoxy for carb slide?

So I went with the 'o'ring method. Got a drop of super glue on the needle holder side, and a bit on the curved surface. I just hope it is enough to hold out against the vacuum acting on the area. Have updated my build thread.

Re: VTR Down Under

So a box of factory standard components rocked up yesterday - diaphragm springs, float valve, stock air filter, little foam airbox filters. Now just waiting on the #48 jets and shims that have been sitting in Chicago for 8 days now :evil: I measured the diaphragm springs after reading that DJ use a ...

Re: What epoxy for carb slide?

Thanks Varastorm, I have spotted a few guys that have used the 'o' ring method on SH forum, that may just be the way to go.

Re: What epoxy for carb slide?

Hmmm, interesting concept Varastorm. I would like to see a photo, but this sounds like a good alternative. Thanks.

Re: What epoxy for carb slide?

Not sure we have Plastex here, Araldite we do. But reading all the packaging of the different Araldite products, none said anything about resistant to fuels. Maybe Araldite then.

What epoxy for carb slide?

Can anyone tell me what type of epoxy I need to use to block the hole in the carb slide? I found a couple that do not work with polyethylene or polyproylene, which I think will be fine, but none definitively state they are fuel resistant. Can anyone help me out with suggestions/brands?

Thanks.

Re: VTR Down Under

Still waiting for shipping, but 1 package that did come in was from superbrightleds.com. Along with some other stuff, I got replacement '74' type LED bulbs for the VTR. I like to have a BRIGHT neutral light, to avoid embarassing traffic light over-revs, and BRIGHT indicator lights so I don't ride fo...

Re: VTR Down Under

While I am waiting for international shipping again, I have ripped the carbs off in preparation, and did some electrical checks as per Carl's reg/rec diagnosis thread. Not all checks done but this is what I came up with; Ignition off 12.46v Ignition on 11.83v Ignition on with high beam on 11.78v Reg...

So after all the procrastinating, Partzilla are sending the MY5-890 anyway :?

Re: VTR Down Under

I ended up ordering 16016-MAS-640 as from what I could find 16028-MY5-890 is the 'd' shape (tamperproof) head.

The other one is the float valve. Partzilla and others also had 2 numbers for that. So I have ordered the one I think is correct. At US$15 each could be a costly exercise....

Re: VTR Down Under

Probably should follow up on Carls questions, the vac slides have 3 holes, the springs I am not sure if DJ or stock, and the needles are DJ with the clip in the 4th from the top. I am unsure what main jets are standard. So the vac slide shown here has 1 lift hole; http://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...

Re: VTR Down Under

Thanks for the replies guys. I have been considering putting the setup back to standard and working from there. Carl, as listed on the first page of this thread, the internals have not changed. Standard 45 pilot jet, 180 (assuming DJ) main jet, and what appears to be the DJ needle, with the clip in ...

Re: VTR Down Under

UPDATE 29/6/2015; Set fuel screws back to where they were when I stripped the carbs, 2 1/8 front and 2 1/2 rear. Checked carb balance - all good. Set idle at 1300ish (waves around a bit). TPS checked in at 824 ohms, readjusted back to 497 ohms. Still get the misfire/surge whatever you want to call i...
