Ok, I took my carb slide out to play with the jetting. When I put it back in I did not notice when I took it apart, if the vacuum hole (the one we drill out) was towards the front or back of the carb. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks guys

 

It only goes back together one way...so, whichever way it fits is the right way!

 

AFAIK the slide will only fit into the carb one way.


*edit* arrgh you beat me to it. ^^

 

You should throw it away and purchase a big bore from Bill along with the TM 34, this will solve your problem! LOL

 

Don't feel bad...you probably have an eye patch, a wooden leg, a hook for a hand, and a parrot on your shoulder! Arrgh...get it?

 

hahaha, nice going matey....hit up your fiche or your manual on the slide placement

 

Thanks for the replies,
I was trying to trouble shoot a problem. I increased my pilot jet to a 38 from the stock 35 and tossed in a 140 keihn main jet. I had the needle on the fourth knotch from the top. The bike was running very strongly with a 128 dyno jet main and fourth from the top but on the weekend it was pulling really well and cleanly up to ten thousand rpm and then it cut out as if it was out of fuel, this happened twice in succession and I had to coast for about 30 seconds till it lit up again. I decided to haul the bike apart and stick in the 140 and a larger pilot and my adjustable air screw. So after running the bike for a day or two i found that there was a real bobble between 5 and 6 thousand rpm as I twisted the throttle from 1/4 to WFO. I tried adjusting the needle back to three from the top but that didn't help. I ended up putting the 128 Dynojet main and leaving the needle at four from the top, with the 38 pilot. It runs really well now. I have taking the carb out and back in to about 30 minutes start to finish.
