You should really avoid poking jets with wire or blowing down them, it just causes problems as you damage the precision machining of the jet. Someone else in the comments, suggested ultrasonic cleaner, this is better. You will struggle to get this to run right now you have done that, just buy new jets and new emulsion tubes and get new needles while you are at it, you'll be amazed how ti transforms the running of the engine.
Hi friend. Thanks for video. When your dog heard unrestricted exhaust he/she was like: you know this is a bad idea, right? LOL. Question...if I understand correctly, after conversion, timing advance (for acceleration) remained mechanical. As opposed to electronic. Is this correct?
@@HighVizEconomist that is what I thought. Thank you. Somehow I had hoped that the electronic ignition swap over kit acceleration based ignition timing as well. Apparently not. Oh well. I guess we can't have it all.
Well, I installed my own Dynatec kit few days ago, and it works!!! I siphoned off the switched 12V from the rear brake lamp wire, as the wires go in that direction anyway, didn't want to pry open the wire harness to find a suitable 12V wire. Ordered a strobe light for dynamic timing, after the heat wave is gone, I'll tackle that, for now I set the plate at max. advance timing, anyway, the strobe will show what's best. The old points were really gone...no sparking, intermittent sparking, glad that it's gone...
@@HighVizEconomist I know that, got my strobe light yesterday, and timed the ignition, turned the ground plate to its neutral position, and, after the timing, it was positioned about 1.5mm to the left, so, only a very small deviation from its neutral position. Engine ran fine, will make some testrides in town, to see how it goes, as I also renewed clutch springs & -plates, and put in new front wheel bearings, the old ones produced a whining noise when going over 30mph.
In the kit is a loose extra red wire that has to be attached to a switched 12v connection, where did you connect that wire? The movie is so instructive, but misses out on connecting the wires of the ignition...
82 gs850 here. I’m looking to upgrade my ignition system with this as well. I’m not sure if this is related but what did you do with the cdi box? Does this new upgrade eliminate the cdi?
These did not use any CDI box. Just the points charging the stock coils and then the points gap break causing the coils to fire. Old school points system.
Great video, K. I hope you are right. I have family who are vehemently opposed that have already caved in order to keep their jobs. I try to send them reasons to hold out and ways to fight their employer but many get frightened and cave too easily. Just subbed. Looking forward to more videos -Your friend from way back.
My best friend passed Away in 2005. Running late for work we jumped the train tracks..ill never understand how it happened but he didnt make it to work.. Ejected 40 feet from impact of train. I went and got his suzuki over the weekend . his daughter wanting me to get it running and store it for now.. Hasnt been started in 6 to 8 yrs.. I'm having a blast cleaning it up right now . just gives me a hes with me feeling.. We rodehis bike and I had a 750 nighthawk.. So many memories ..
I also came here after a superchat on George's channel. I think you're going to do great if you continue to practice articulating your predictions. Have you tried journaling? Something that I suggest to be as minimal as you creatively can when it comes to displaying the triggers (no pun intended) you are anticipating. I notice the gun safety, but it's still something that could be misconstrued negatively and you unfortunately won't get a chance to clarify to everyone who it reinforces a negative connotation in. Just my first thought- looking forward to watching a bit more of what you put out to see if I can point out what I'm trying, myself to articulate! Good luck!
I found you buddy. ARs arent even categorized as firearms according to the ATFs definition, though i think they just changed that. great to see you making videos. I too want to start some econ vids, i just have fishing and shooting videos so far, 1 of each. Hope to meet you at RCL. Take care
Keep it up my friend!! You've started and that's the hardest part. Most people don't have the guts to put themselves out there, you do and that's something you should be proud of. Also, love the shirt!! ;)
@@AllNighterHeider what this dude does with this video is his prerogative. Intros like that are gonna earn himself a visit from the Secret Service. And not a friendly one.
Friend can I ask you something, ¿where do you buy the electronic spark? I want to do the same to my bike but I don't found the piece, I have to the same bike
Brother I would seriously save every single part you take off that bike just in case, it's good practice to save everything just in case you need it down the line in the future, and brother if you would want to sell her.. I would absolutely be a buyer! let me know! And stay safe bud!
anything 7441 ummmm....no. Diesel is useful for removing sludge, but it will not disolve the varnish in carbs. Soaking in injector cleaner for min 3 days is a great place to start. After that, they should go into an ultrasonic cleaner at a motorcycle shop. Then rebuild as necessary. Important: don't make the same mistake as me... THOROUGHLY clean fuel tank before re-installing carbs or they will just foul up all over again.
@@HighVizEconomist ya,you can fine toon a motor better with points ,problem with them ,they start to fail at 12 rpm ,who knows maby I got a bad one. Still have it in the box
@@HighVizEconomist I only paid 200 for the bike,5000 original miles on it ,in a barn most it's life, carbs was plugged and motor full of old gas but I got her running now
if the ignition pick up is on the right end off crank then no 1 cylinder is@@HighVizEconomistclosest to it you know nothing about mechanics obviously go back to school.
I got one! Mine was from AutomaticChickenCoopDoor.com Its far less complicated to install. I added up my cost verses the parts cost you showed and its about the same. If your someone that doesn't want to program learn all these arts I recommend buying a ready built unit from AutomaticChickenCoopDoor.com It save time and money. Automatic Chicken Coop Doors do save your chickens. I've had mine for over 10 years now and I haven't lost any chickens. Definitely worth it!
About the only thing I'd do a bit differently and it might save you time and trouble of repeatedly dismounting and remounting the carbs would be to buy an ultrasonic cleaner. Those were some nasty looking carbs you had. I took the carb off my 1965 Ford and soaked it in solvent for several WEEKS. Then, I scrubbed, poked and blew it all out. After I put it in the ultrasonic cleaner for 20 minutes, I couldn't believe all the crud that was still in it. The water was black. Now, I bought a Harbor Freight soda blaster and plan on polishing it up and then another stint in the ultrasonic cleaner to dissolve all that baking soda out of it. They do make odd shaped ultrasonic cleaners that would, I THINK, take all four carbs still hooked up together. You could've disassembled and cleaned out those brakes, too. And how about spending $ 20 for a carb rebuilding kit that comes with all new gaskets. But, you got the bike running good your way so I can't criticize. The only other thing is due to my age. When I was young and dumb I used to go screaming along the roads and through the woods, too. After all, DEER DON'T LIVE IN THE WOODS AND WAIT FOR VEHICLES TO COME BY SO THEY CAN JUMP OUT AND STOP IN FRONT OF YOU. Maybe that's my age talking (74) or my bike accident has made me skittish.
are you asking if they are good for long trips? well if you could find a way to put enough luggage on them some how then yes. as for reliability, it will be running at the end of time im sure lol
khurtt513 been looking for a bike... Reliable . ( Trouble free) enough potence / and fuel economy efficient / but it's a bike. Most new bikes are not so good I mean delicate
Enjoyed your video and your dogs! I have a 79 gs850 and had to do a lot of the same stuff. Was sitting since 1989 in a garage. Complete front to back restore including the top end, rings, valve guides, etc. Haven't done the ignition yet, went with the stock points system. Would like to do the electronic switch next. Watching you do it helped!
@@scottfarraway34 currently restoring an 87 Yamaha Radian. Bought a parts bike, drove it. 66 HP my eye. That little 600 freaking whistles. Can't wait to get mine on the road.
