I was just kidding, but I would like to get a set of those breathers, for the Bob-a-matic. I'll give him a call next month when I stop spending all my bike money on Toolbabes bobber.

looking at this Clymer 1st words it says Chp.6 fuel system is "Several different Carb...",I'm not finding anything but says inside float chamber while talking about #2 carb,but photo of parts uses no such word as accelerator or diaphragm,more info well needed for thee round top carbs.like on a car you hit the gas it should give that quick squirt through a sml hole pointing straight into carb ? separate from the others,mine(K7/8,F2/3) same; work that way,but have new coming,why I've been reaing it all now.,Piute

HAHA  i know Tools    Well i finally have good news to report instead of a barrage of questions    got the carbs spic and span,installed the air cleaners and she runs like a champ Not nearly as cold natured as before      it will idle steady after 30-45 seconds and once warmed up revs clean and crisp!!  the amount of throttle that it used to require to struggle to 4000 rpm is long gone       bring up to about 2000 rpm and one good crank takes it straight to 6000!!!  didnt mean to rev it that high just didnt expect it to jump like that,   but,booooy did it sound mean   kinda strange but after running for about 3 or 4 min one by one the carbs started POURING out of the vent lines but thats ok      not gonna let a little flooding take the wind out of my sails!!!     well...i said no?s but...Tools,you said to adjust floats to level but not to compress inner part of needle    according to that all my floats were high  so i dont understand why lowering them caused flooding  BUT  i also replaced my solid metal needles with the viton tipped ones   but that should have been an improvement as well     anyway    there is light at the end of the quad carb tunnel for once   WOO HOO     BTW: My girl rocks  today was her birthday    she said "work on your bike...we can go out this saturday"..........i love you Crystal

Vroom vroom!  Nice feeling, isn't it?

You shouldn't experience any flow out of the overflow tubes.  That's kind of a fire hazard if it gets near the exhaust.  While the needles are new, it's possible the seats may have some crud on them.  I'm confident there's a few postings on how to check that and how to fix it.  Do a search for needle seat or something similar.

Good job!  Now on to the next thing.  You'll be riding it before long.

Thanks luke It was a wonderful feeling!!!  oh big time fire hazard   they were pouring hard  just odd that they didnt do it right off      i waited a few minutes after setting the tank on to give the bowls plenty of time to fill and they never acted up until after a few minutes of run time   then one at a time  seats are clean as everything just got a good bath    i probably messed up the float level or something      i still need to find a primary sprocket and chain     i have the rear sprocket but dont know how to tell a 520 from a 630     also need tires...money...tank...money...headlight...money...brake pads...money    aaah  someday  haha

Question: what are the little whitish/grayish spacers between some of the fins on the jugs?  For fin stability due to expansion and contraction/harmonics?   Just curious as mine are dingy(match the rest of it :)   ) and did not know if could throw them out or not

HEY! My birthday is Sat. You better be celebrating mine!
The things between the fins are supposed to reduce vibration. Sometimes the fins will vibrate, and make a sound. Also you might have to adjust your floats down.
Glad, you have it running good.

Yeah   my Dad had 4 brand new ones in a row    the last one he had was a 75    mom got it for him as a birthday present     He put 357 miles on it,mom got pregnant with my sis and Dad sold it.  He never rode again until me and sis were grown.  He tried to buy a fatboy but the Harley shops around here act like they are doing you a favor selling you a bike   he ended up getting a yamaha road star    that was one pretty bike    heavy but STRONG!!!   I rode it once and was very impressed     he started falling asleep on it and sold it too  actually traded it in on a 4 wheeler and when pulling into the dealership to do the trade,the manager at the dealership pulled out in front of him as Dad was pulling in the lot   locked the bike down and it slid the back tire til it blew    manager didnt want to trade unless Dad paid for the tire and damaged rim    a few minutes in the back room and all that was settled     needless to say he is not happy about me building a bike    oh well   sorry Pops

48 olds with 1,000 hp    you cant get ran over on a race track i guess*shrug*       well   bike is acting up again      lowered and lowered and lowered float level until it would stop flooding    ended up just cutting off fuel supply altogether    dry bowls on 2 carbs      so i swapped out the viton tipped needles(new) for the old metal ones and flooding stopped    but now its running a rough again and wont rev   and off idle stumble is back   stumbles to the point that  if you dont close throttle it dies  AAAAAARGH!!!      one ??clue??   i noticed today that i didnt have the carbs seated fully in the boots   they were about 1/4" out    pushed them in before i did any work on the floats     wonder if air leaking in there was the only reason it ran so good last night because this hussie is pig rich      im lost  my hands stink  and i am out of my element

Re: Here is my FREE bike!

I'd bet your running to lean,  sounds like the same thing my bike was doing when i changed the exhaust.  I cured mine with a drillbit set.  I took out the main jets and found the bit that fit inside the jet tight then went to the next bit and drilled it out.  Took me three times of pulling jets, drilling and reinstalling but it was easy since my carb bowls are held on with a spring clip.   I noticed the after market pipes on yours so Ill bet thats it.  Mine really runs great now, I like starting it with the kick starter by hand when people are around it really blows them away.
