So i cleaned the carbs on my bike, set tps to 498ohms (took me forever to get it that close) put everything back together, it fired right up but there is a little hesitation when you rev it hard from idle, after about 1600rpm it pulls real hard. Idles absolutely perfect

Any one have any suggestion on what to do, im thinking get carbs synced, cause they are probably off

also if someone could point me in the right direction of how to make a sync tool and instructions for a super hawk i would appreciate it

 

Yep, it's on here somewhere too lazy to find it right now. Sync'ing will do wonders if it's off, especially if you're messing with TPS and the carbs were pretty unclean.

 

I cleaned them 1 at a time, they had a little crap built up in it, nothing too bad,but i gues any build up is bad. I used 8 cans of carb cleaner, I used the straw and blew the mother loving crap out of every passage, I soaked all jets overnight in berrymans carb cleaner, then overnight in Sea Foam, then sprayed carb cleaner though them all to make sure that all passages were open

 

I ordered a Carbtune 2 tool today, I saw a bunch of good reviews on them yeah I could make one but I bought one

 

That's what I use. Go to the pet store and buy two of the small air regulators that are used on aquariums to put in your hoses. You dial them down to smooth the fluctuations of the indicators. You'll see when you use it. You will also need an assortment of vacuum line tees so when you cut your vacuum line that runs under your tank you can install one and then just plug up the nipple with a rubber plug when you are done synching. You have the nipple on your front cylinder right?

 

I have no idea about a nipple in the front cylinder, ill look into it, as far as air regulators I actually have a couple of them cause i have a 90 gallon fish tank

 

It's called a "boost valve" if you're trying to look it up. There's already one on your rear cylinder.

 

I call it a major pain in the posterior to install!

Check out this thread featuring remarks from 7moore7 and I think it will help you out since it has pictures too:

Lol I hope they are the cleanest carbs in the forum. I have a screw installed in there, so Ill need to pick up that, maybe i can get lucky and pick one up form my local hardware store, or fastenal, I have to go there anyways, Im replacing a whole butt load of screws with stronger cap heads

Whats the general conciseness on installing pair valve block off plates, I saw a bunch of posts saying to just disable them, but Im thinking I should just remove them while im messing with my bike

 

Functionally no difference. Appearance wise they are low cost improvement.

 

I like low cost improvements, also Ill be able to get rid of that annoying goddam hose at the front of the air box, that thing is a pita to hook up with big hands

 

I was thinking that that hose in the front went to the pair valve (front most hose going to front most hookup on engine), Ive never really paid attention to how the hoses were routed, only where they hooked back up, i would have seen that when I went to disable the pair system

anyways...Is there any reason I wouldn't want to install a aftermarket breather on there, Like I said I don't particularly like hooking that goddam hose back up, I don't know If i could get one to fit, ill need to look into that, also I ve heard some engines need a vacuum created by the intake to evacuate gasses properly, would that be a issue with a superhawk?

One more thing, can I completely remove the pair valve without any negative consequences, The only negative thing ive seen is that you will need to make your own gasket, but Ive not seen anyone mention if it actually affects anything Removing it

 

I just stick a old pilot jet in each line but good tip

 

K, I got some silicone vacuum hose, Replaced all vacuum lines, put my fuel filters on, installed pair block off plate, Removed pair valve T and installed it by the fuel tank for syncing carbs, installed boost valve. I just need to sync the carbs now, I may do that tonight, don't know yet, have to see what transpires

 

Well my comments on your last post would be, first silicone and gasoline don't play well together, so you might want to keep an eye on those lines..... (gasoline dissolves silicone....)

The screen in the tank is a good filter and there have been problems with fuel flow with some inline filters, so another thing to watch or remember if you run into fuel starvation at higher rpms.

 

I synced my carbs today, got rid of the hesitation, but its seems to rev up a little slower than is used to, anyone have a video of them revving a stock bike, i want to compare it and see.
Ill throw up a video if someone could check it out ofr me. As far as the silicone vacuum line I didn't replace the one on the front crab with silicone because I know it dissolves, I used regular vacuum line for that

 

I put up a video SOmeone plese check it out and tell me if you think it revds up slowly for a stock bike:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpKLgIEdiwM (same vid with contrast and a few other things turned up)

I was getting on it pretty good, at first, Towards the middle I floored it from idle a couple times, It doesnt run bad or anything, like I said it seems to be revving up slowly

Ill do another video during the day also if you cant tell whats up

Ill try and see what happens without fuel filters, one wierd thing to note is my idle adjuster was backed off all the way when I first got my bike, and it idled at 1100rpm, After I cleaned the carbs, it wouldnt idle i had to crank it up quite a bit to get it back to 1100 rpm, im thinking I may need to play with my tps again after adjusting the idle

 

Cool, I was just being paranoid I guess. Ill re do tps tommorow, Im friggin tired I worked 3rd shift went to my nieces b-day party, slept for 4 hours woke up and I need to go to bed...

 

SO I finally took my bike for a test drive today, And It ran like ****, wouldn't rev over 5K when driving, and I had to floor it to do 60, But revved just fine sitting there, So me thinks either my fuel petcock if F***ed up or it doesn't like the fuel filters I added, cause its acting like its starving for fuel (similar thing happened to my shadow when I pinched a fuel line years back), I'm going to pull fuel filters off and check it out, Worst case scenario I have next week off to play with it, Ill get her figured out by then Hopefully
