i wonder if thats where summit was getting their parts? they are a huge supplier of mikuni stuff.

does anybody have any details? I'm so sad he's gone.. I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon with him in his hanger/home/shop back in 22 (on my honeymoon actually). Damn shame. this is the only recent thing i have found:

yeah you guys left about 3 hours early. was glorious the rest of the time.

thats a good deal if somebody wanted to make noise at the local strip.   

that was a fun ride

bring a trailer listing.

it wouldn't idle at all if the fuel level was too low. it has to be high enough to hit the pilot. that being said, the fact it needs the slide raised that much which will draw fuel from the needle circuit tells me it -might-  be too lean.  thinking about it a bit more..it could Aldo be fuel starvation... in regards to feed. if the petcock or tank vent is clogged, it may not be able  to refill the bowl in 10 Mins of idling.  try to idle it w the gas cap off the bike. if it still dies, then put cap back on, check flow of petcock.  for, a minute into a bucket . watch it. if it decreases pretty quick, might be that.if all that checks out.. might be electrical but, thats a different ball game

sounds like the pilot isnt the right size or the fuel level is incorrect. sounds like the pilot is too small IMHO

oh fuck no.

yup. ditch those filters. either get all foam unis or a y boot. correct info on lines above

likely, for sure, since its unknown and i know that bike sat for many years not run.

by the way.. the brass choke tube ont he TH carb isn't used. it all feeds off the left.

looks great! enjoy it!

thats not really how it went down, but ok. he was told/sold how to have it done and just went along w it. Like said, i know both of them.

i have a hard time believing that wheel/brake is as light as an rd disc hub with a fzr or similar rotor and an aluminum caliper & hoop. It might be, im not sure.

dont get me wrong, its cool as fuck, id love to have it on my T500, but thats a drum brake bike that could use a better drum.

it's not necessary to do.
