Re: 80 Sportfire center crank o-rings?

Well when it’s warmed up and idling with airbox on adjust idle air screw slowly and pay close attention to when engine runs best or the fastest. Then find out how many turns it goes in. I think if it’s 1 1/2 open you can get a fatter pilot jet

Re: 80 Sportfire center crank o-rings?

I always use a small screwdriver and my finger to measure depth of choke bore and adjust choke cable to match. Then when installed and tightened and gauge pod down the lever should have a little free play. Are you using full choke or just first or half on position?

Re: 80 Sportfire center crank o-rings?

Did you pressure test needle and seat? Is it flooded, maybe when shutting off the needle and seat leak fuel past and flood engine.
I would think if you have lots of smoke when starting that would be excessive amounts of fuel burning out. Correct spark plugs?

Re: Crankshaft work

Hey thanks for info everyone!!
So I guess my next question do you guys know what kind of rings they originally used on the chrome cylinders? Millennium didn’t know, I believe they are regular cast rings originally. I have new Kawasaki rings and pistons for my build.

Re: Crankshaft work

Thanks Brian, yeah I’m sure crankshaft balance is kind of crazy with press together crankshaft but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask. I’ve always had done with v8. Trying to make it the best I can where possible.

I don’t know what it came out of, assuming it was newer sport or liquid and not sure why it doesn’t have the idlers on rear frame. My ...
