I can't remember if the 550s or 450s had it. -Kyle Joey Kelley <[email protected]> Jun 11 03:19PM -0400 ^ Mine doesn't. Then again, with the fork seals leaking like they have been for almost 10,000 miles - maybe if I fixed them it wouldn't dive so much...... -Joey Topic: Running rough/stalling '83 CB550 Joey Kelley <[email protected]> Jun 11 06:43AM -0400 ^ If you're experiencing junk build up in the tank itself - there are very few things that are as simple as what I'm about to tell you to do. Pull the tank off. It looks harder than it is (at least on my bike) then gently remove your petcock (This is not a pet rooster! Hehe... there I go again with the petcock jokes :-)) and drain the tank until it is bone dry. At that point, you'll be able to shake the tank and hear any loose crap flying around inside. Get it out of there. Depending on the tanks condition - you might want to seal it. Avoid using a sealer that requires a thick coating - as this will particularly reduce your reserve. One my Dad used to sell was KwikPoly - worked extremely well. I believe they now call it Xtreme Poly or something to that effect. Same stuff - new owner. There are ways to clean out the fuel system (Carb cleaner or as many of us have suggested SeaFoam) but if there is junk in the tank itself - pulling and cleaning the tank is your best route. I also have an inline filter between my petcock and my carbs - a second line of defense if you will - Mine is clear and has a second benefit - you can verify you have fuel flowing. Others thoughts? -Joey 82 CB450 SC Allen Thomas <[email protected]> Jun 11 06:43AM -0400 ^ This spring my #2 cylinder wouldn't fire when cold, a good carb cleaning took care of that. I would suggest you do it yourself, it's easy. -- Sent from my mobile device paul annen <[email protected]> Jun 11 11:23AM -0400 ^ 1 note on cleaning your tank... spray carb cleaner will work well... also a brush might help (im thinking large test tube brush.... but i cant think of where to get one right now) to get some of the gunk out... Kyle Munz <[email protected]> Jun 11 03:39PM -0300 ^ When I cleaned my tank I filled it full of that B12 Chem Cleaner or whatever it was called, a few ball bearings, stopped it all up with rubber stoppers, then strapped it to the tailgate of my truck and drove like an #$#hole all over the bumpiest streets in Houston. I rinsed it out afterwards and used a blow drier to make sure I had it all evaporated and evacuated before sealing it. -Kyle Topic: Adjust carb for 4 into 1 the_christer <[email protected]> Jun 11 05:16AM -0700 ^ Hi All, My 84 650SC came with a 4 into 1 Jardine exhaust and stock jets in the carbs. I am running lean and wonder what I can do with the stock setup to richen up the fuel mixture? Thanks Stumpi <[email protected]> Jun 11 07:42AM -0700 ^ Aside from the obvious choice of a rejetting it there are other 2 options both of which I use on my bike. The washer under the carb needle is a common mod that will richen the mixture from 1\4 throttle on up. I run this and while I believe it will somewhat shorten the life of the needle and possibly the jets it's a risk I'm willing to take. Much improved response throughout most of the bike's range and the flat spot at 4000rpm is gone once the bike warms up. The other is giving the carbs adjustable mixture needles. http://www.johnsmotorcycleparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=28 I can confirm that the needle profile is a direct match for the Keihin carbs my 82 CB450SC comes with. These are likely to fit just about any Keihin carb but as always buy at your own risk. Or you could keep the stock needles and get a right angle screw driver and simply put up with them being harder to adjust. This will richen the mixture throughout most of the range but the biggest difference will be below 1\4 throttle which is where the bike is run 95% of the time anyway. Stumpi <[email protected]> Jun 11 07:43AM -0700 ^ Whoops, forgot the link for the washer mod. http://www.nighthawk750.com/mods/carbneedlemod.html Chris Besignano <[email protected]> Jun 11 02:16PM -0400 ^ Thanks for the help. I was hoping for something that required a little less garage time like, just turn fuel mixture screws out 1 1/2 turns. I'm heading out to buy washers tonite.
