XS650 BS34 carbs Part #1

Is your XS650 with BS34 carbs not running that great and you think it may be the carbs need cleaning. Well do we have a video for you .

Excellent video! You and your Russian friend have just given me the confidence to tackle the carbs on my 79 XS650. Thank you for the informative lesson.

Just remember take your time and everything should work out just fine. Thanks for watching.

Smiling! Good on sir. Working on one for my grandson. Got it from a friend years ago and it was modified some. Air box is gone, and I can tell it's getting too much air, need new jets but not sure what size but the air cleaners are like then ones in this video. I suspect the ones you have should be about right. Also thought about using small drill bit to open them up a bit. done that in the past and worked somewhat. Smiling.

Hey Miyagi! Where are you at in the pnw? I’m up in Nw Washington. Would be sick to stroll my xs over to you and see what you think if you’re anywhere near me?

is your pilot air jet a 35 or 135? my BS34 has a 135. Is yours that much lower because of the pod filters?

[@outlaw86custom]

Well with the type of exhaust I was running and the pod filters my jetting on that bike was as followed: main jets 146 and the pilot jets 47.5 . It all can be different due to what exhaust you have , what type of air intake, altitude and bore the engine. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching

Hi just ordered a fuel filter the Same as the one you got on your bike but the instructions say the flow is the opposite direction to the way you fitted yours ??

The screw on end goes to the carb that would be the fatter end. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
