Tuning Tips

My bikes still not ticking over quite right so i thought id check the jets in the carb today. Recommended jet sizes are 32 intermediate and a 74 main. My main was correct but for some reason i had a 0295 intermediate fitted so i have changed this. Hopefully this will stop the popping and backfiring through the air cleaner. I will run her up outside on the next dry day and report back.......




Intermediate jet

Painting the 'Tins' on Dans Lo Boy



Dan says:.......... Mitch at JusCuzCustoms working on the tank. http://juscuzcustoms.com/

Painted the timing cover white with old no 7 logo on it, to go with my black and white theme.

Thanks Steve for the info on the oil pressure gauge. I decided to use an oil pressure sensor to feed my Dakota digital 3016 gauge. It has a low pressure input that illuminates a light on low pressure. To help monitor the engine I decided to add another small bar mount gauge with a cylinder head temp reading.............

WATCH THIS SPACE............ this bikes going to look awesome!!

Dans Lo Boy in Canada

Dan Says............


 
I’m a big fan of that oil pressure gauge. Any details on how you mounted/installed that there? It looks like you have different heads than I do… probably because I went with the 127”, but I thought the heads would be the same. My rockers have a square hole instead of a round one.
