Finally got the old girl all back together today and after 100 to 150 kicks (or so it felt like!!) the snap crackle of my 650 filled my quiet street once again ( i have several elderly neighbours who were happy to see it in bits lol).
Any way with the taffy sm kit installed it popped and banged a couple of times and there ya go.
The tricky bits have been down to the fact that it is a carb i bought from e bay and it came from the US. There was this guy on there who seemed to have a few of these brand new. Taffy had reckoned it may be an ATV one or such like and being american it had a vacuum spigot out to the side for emission purposes, the pilot screw is sealed off to prevent tampering, also the slow air jet is totally different to the one supplied in his kit, me thinks a call to the taffy will put it straight.............
It seems to be doing the job so far, the old dellorto even jetted properly, at best only lasted a few rides before needing adjusting to suit the weather, forever messing with the pilot air scew and ran really hot all the time.........ggggrrrrrr :roll:
The only trouble now is that yorkshire, is covered in polar bears bedding and my riding skills don't do horizontal!! :angry:
Was just gonna ask if any one else has one of these too??
Taffy had came across them before and i read a few posts on the thumper forum too 8O
I'll let you know how i go on with the 39 as people reckon its better suited to the smaller cc bergs?
Hey to Crispin, long time no speak pal, hows the wheels finish holding up?
