Inlet manifolds: the rubber comes away from the metal part. They look ok but will leak a lot of air.

hi Niko,
How are you getting on with the pilot screw setting?

I have just taken another look at my cd; there are two recommended settings, depending which bit of the data is read! One says 3.5 turns out from fully in and the other says 2.75 +/- 0.5 turn. This is for a 2004 TT600RE with the 3AJ engine.

I deduce that a movement of around, say, 1/2 turn either way in adjusting is a reasonable way forward (and a full turn in total is not un-reasonable).

Suggest you search in here for "setting the idle screw" or pilot screw - there is lots of information in more detail.

Cheers,

Dave

Float chamber
 

hi Niko,

did you check the choke channel in your float chamber?

I guess that is your problem.

sorry guys have been away, but will have another look at it on the weekend.
At the moment ive got it at 2.5 turns out.I will try and take it to 3.5 or more. Remember im running a pod air filter not the original one and i think its getting alot more air.

Choke tunnel i will have a look and give it a clean too.

heres a pic of the beast, it took me two years to design and build it.

Niko,

2 wheels good, 4 wheels not so good, unless it is two motorbikes!! :rolleyes2:




Just kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:innocent:


Good luck with the engine adjustments,

Dave

ha ha, the funny thing is i also have a xt600 bike which i got to pull apart for a spare motor but when it came it was too good to wreck so now ive got a bike to ride. Probably not the right bike to learn on but im doing ok so far.

niko.

I reckon the XT will be fine for learning; crack on with that while fixing the 4 wheel transport!!

Good luck with the engine tuning,

Dave

right on, now found the problem today the rubber gaskets were totally broken(both of them) they had looked perfect but when i removed them discoverd the problem.

Now to find a new pair, any ideas were to get them from???


niko.

Never had to buy them Niko but I have read elsewhere that they are expensive as Yamaha OEM (isn't everything from the main dealers!?).

Those on the road say that they have used car hose as a replacement or repair - depending on where the splits are that may be an option? Maybe, the car wholesale parts people have the same type of hosing available - I'm talking here for the upsteam side; I guess the downstream side of the carbs need the proper fitting that bolts onto the cyl head.

I am currently sorting out a gasket problem on my bike - when the carbs go back in I will be using liquid gasket goo to seal the carbs to the airways - maybe the same stuff can be used to make a repair of your splits. Just a thought,

Good luck,

Dave

thanks dave, i did use a loctite product which is a alloy to rubber super glue but it really only lasted a few runs so i think im up for a new pair. EBAY here i come!!

Pirate
 

Hi,

you also get the manifolds as pirate part (at least in south africa and germany) , not the same quality but also less than half the price.

2nd hand is not an option I think because they all break with the time.

Thomas

sounds good, where to buy?
