    my son and i are trying to come up with a covered bridge ride something between 2 and 3 hundred miles , we are in central ohio, any sugestions thanks Lee

    thanks for the help everyone took the bike out today runs like a beast .. only problem is i got home and left fork seal leaking badly figure at least its a cheap fix just alot of work did new bushing and peogressive spring a few years ago just sitting prolly hard on seals. Lee

    thanks frank you are right had to go around about 3 times before i got them all to read consistent . i think i had a bad head gasket when they were synced. a couple years ago.they seemed to be pretty far out or whack . it really sounds good now ,no popping sounds and back to starting in about half a crank. still got the road test to do , hopefully that goes good.

    some advice needed, i used a home made manometer to sync my carbs. i set them all to the front carb. on the left side, is this a very dependable way of doing a sync, the manometer seems to be very sensative just touching the screws with a screwdiver affects it. bike seems to be running well revs up fast then right back to idle. what do you all think. Lee

    by the way where is the best place to get a sync. tool (gauge). Lee anyone near heath ohio want to make a few bucks for a quick loan. Lee

    freebird, you win the prize, you hit the nail right on the head. put new boost sensor on and it was somewhat better but still returning to idle slowly and popping when cold. looked for vacuum leaks again none. started backing out sync. screws then returning them till it made a difference. i dont know what the carb order or number is but as soon as i backed out the sync. screw on the rear carb on left side problem almost imediatly dissapered. i guess my sync. gauge and system stinks. thank you very much , thanks everyone. i used to be a member here but got away from it and motorcycling for awhile thinking about rejoining was reelay before. just trying to decide whether to keep the old venture. shes still one of the prettiest bike you can get .

    got the boost sensor today that i bought off ebay, it holds vacuum , but i read a post on here that said voltage should increase with vacuum , mine decreases the chart in the book is kinda confusing but i think decrease might be correct. what do you guys think. Lee

    couldnt stand it any longer , cut sensor open there is a white seal that seals vacuum pipe to sensor, mine was broken, diaphram looked good but had a chunk of stuff in it. so in my thoughts i can see the diaphram working then the case pressure changing then the timing changing. once you cut it open prolly un fixable lol . Lee ps. case acting like a vacuum canister maybe causing everything to react slower

    mike , it is just a vacuum sensor i believe it reacts as soon as it senses vacuum. then advaces or retards the timing accordingly. advances timing for higher rpms and retards the timing for slower rpm. so in my opinion if its not working correctly advanced timing at adle will increase idle rpms alot just like twisting the dist. on a car after you set the timing you have to set the idle, on a car that is. i just hope new sensor works i am really tired of this problem.Lee

    condor, i am glad you are trying to give information i was just trying to let you know where i was at and what i had done. i have a vacuum sensor on the way, i will let you know if that helps. i think mine is sticking on full advance or returning to normal advance really slowly.thanks for your info. Lee

    carb sync .hasnt needed adjusted for five years and checked good last week . i dont understand why it slowly got worse .and dosent do it at all with boost sensor unhooked from carb ????. i have rode this bike 45,000 miles withouit adjusting the carbs. i would ride it with the sensor unhooked but afraid it will run to hot. Lee
  13. reelay
    my thought from my car days is, advancing and retarding the timing afects idle,also timing to far advanced make them turn over very hard when hot. mine cranks like a dream when cold ,cranks very slow when hot ,accelrates like a beast , but slow back to idle and i never know where its going to idle 900 to 2500 .this slowly got worse now im just affraid to ride it anywhere. Lee

    i have the same problem, checked every possible place you could have a vaccum leak, manifold boots,air box, hoses,diaphrams, checked carb sync. everything was good.mine doesnt do it with the boost sensor unhooked, bought one off ebay last night . hope that fixes it if not i dont know where to look next . good luck Lee

    i just bought one off of ebay (10.00) not a bad price if it works its off a 1200 and i have an 88 1300 but yamaha shows it as the same part number,we will see thanks for the info ,Lee
