Taffy
I know you must be a bit fed up with all this, but could you please tell me some stuff that i need help with please.
1st i have just got a fcr 39 from a yam the later type with hot start, can you give me a part no for the stub that bolts onto the rear for joining carb to air boot. ALL YOU DO IS CALL ALLINS PERFORMANCE AND ASK FOR THE STUB. ASK FOR IT AT THE SAME DIAMETER AS THE HUSEY ONE AND THEY WILL TURN IT DOWN ON THE LATHE BEFOPRE SENDING IT ON TO YOU. ASK FOR A SMALL LIP AT THE BACK EDGE THAT WILL KEEP THE SOCK ON BETTER.
2nd do you know if the o/e Husaberg cables will fit as my yam ones are frayed and i remember reading that they are a bit long. I'M SURE THE HUSEY CABLES FIT THE CARB BUT YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE THROTTLE STUB AS WELL PROBABLY. I HAD TOO.
3rd can you tell me if i have got this correct
170MJ (NO-I WOULD GO TO A 162MJ AND YOU COULD GO LOWER SO 162 IS DEFINATELY SAFE ENOUGH I'M SURE)
ELQ@C4 (CORRECT. WHY NOT BUY A DMS FOR BETTER BOTTOM END WHILST LOSING LITTLE UP TO 3/4 THROTTLE?)
38PJ (CORRECT)
100PAJ (BUY THE PILOT AIR SCREW AND ADJUST IT OUT TO 3/8 OR 1/2 TURN OUT FROM CLOSED-OR BUY THE 75PAJ)
85 starter (#80 IF YOU CAN FROM A YAMAHA DEALER LIKE BAVINS)
this is something i wrote down a while ago that i think you posted to another forum member, just checking its still good
one other thing is it possible to bore the 39 to 41 and if so is it just a straight bore job or is it a bit technical. (I APPEAR TO BE THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS DONE IT THROUGH MY ENGINEER. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. I NOW HAVE THE HOME MADE TAPER AND SPIGOTS TO DO THE JOB. NO BULL-IT IS DIFFICULT. COST ME £50 LAST TIME BUT I THINK NOW THE TOOLS ARE THERE IT WOULD COST £30. YOUR JETTING WOULD BE NIGH ON IDENTICAL AS WE'RE LEAVING YOUR MJ SLIGHTLY RICH HERE AT PRESENT. YOU DO HOWEVER NEED A 41MM FOR THE 550)
many thanks, i did try the search thingy but just got all messed up in me head, as i am sure i will with the whole carb thing :roll:


My bike is a 6 speed 550
