currently doing the 3rd set for the EX powered sprint car guys in upstate NY. Nothing unusual to report really, a standard refurb with a Dynojet kit install. Pics'll follow. Ooops, forget photos.
on a set of long neglected XV920 carbs (from 1981), note frozen open throttle plate? Actually, both throttle plates and both slides frozen in place. Currently awaiting parts order delivery.
A nasty '81 XV920 Yamaha (early Hitachi CV) carbset up today, parts arrived. Owner advises last run/sitting since '06. I tend to believe him as every brass component and orifice is badly discolored/clogged/ covered in residue. Throttle shafts and slides are each frozen in place. Anyways....I predict they'll be fine runners and look ok as well. More pics as progress dictates.
