    Exhaust Question

    I donno, they look ok to me. No gaps as they rest and when you twang each pedal with your fingernail, they all make the same crisp sharp sound. I guess I will replace them anyway as I have already ordered some and I think this is the only engine I have that they will fit. How do they look to you...

    Exhaust Question

    so I take it that this is a common failure mode for reeds? My 650s have done this sort of thing when my fuel returns have gotten plugged up. Maybe didn't spit up as much but you could definitely feel it on your hands. Also had a waterbox go bad and randomly plug up and it would do this right...

    Exhaust Question

    After taking the video and watching it a few times, I'm also more leaning towards reed valves. I have never had to replace a set that wasn't obviously broken. I have had my 2 650 VXRs for 12 years and they are still on the set that they came with. While recording, I was trying to keep the...

    Exhaust Question

    I checked the n/s during the pop off test, both good though I didn't think to look to see what size they were. Was a stock 650 in the ski before, ran really well. I was recently given 2 701 motors, a 61X and a 62T. I put in the 62T cuz I thought, if having 1 carb was good, having 2 carbs must be...

    Exhaust Question

    I guess thats kinda what I'm wondering, how common is it to end up that far away from the book specs? It's entirely possible that diagnosis of it been overly rich could be wrong. I'll try to take a video in the next couple of days, maybe that will be of some help. With the screws all the way in...

    Exhaust Question

    I verified that they have what came in them stock, 120 (f) 130(r) for the high and lows looked to be the 67.5 but i couldn't actually read the number on the low. Carbs also have the correct stamp, 62T01F and 62T01R. I don't think its relevant but I have not been able to accurately measure the...

    Exhaust Question

    Thanks for the prompt response. Thats kinda what I was thinking, not expecting full output but at least to run decently. I must have other problems somewhere. its just odd that the more I lean out they high speed screws, the better it runs (more RPMs and smoother). Starting from the settings...

    Exhaust Question

    So i have a 701 motor(62T Raider, dual 38s) that I am trying to get running in my old VXR. I can get it to start and idle great, low speed is dialed in well. Doesn't want to rev past 4800-5000 rpm. Seems like its too rich but everything is set to stock values on the carbs and ign timing...
