axulsuv Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks , I'll check ... again !!!! Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Squeek gone !!!!!!! the after market springs I had used on the last shoe swap were about 1 mm larger OD than the stock springs ! EBC shoes w/ stock springs and all is quiet and stops as good as drums will !!!! Thanks for all the input !... Now to put on the just arrived prejetted/flatslide carb for a try before next weekends event !!! Boy I love to make perfection better ...

lee harris Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 did you get a 26mm oko from chris? let me know how close the jetting is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi Lee , Yes it's one of Chris's OKO's , Got a swingarm shaft too for the next full teardown ... Carb worked great the bit I got to try it , mine leaked fuel out the bowl vent from the start . And after playing with the float level for the 4th or 5th time , in my haste I didn't have the bowl seated square on the body and cracked it snugging up the screws ! my own fault ... After putting the delorto back on and bringing the OKO in the house to inspect properly with a magnifying glass , I found a tiny nick in the tip of the needle !!! No ones fault but my own for not inspecting it closer when I first took it apart to adjust ! BUT I did ride the old girl (wilst turning gas on & off ) and I can say the carb swap is well worth the effort ! When the float level would approach were it should be , LOTS more response and Felt Quite abit more OOMPH down way low ! I can't wait to get the fuel level issue fixed and get it back on the bike .... And from what I felt his jetting is on the money , he ships w/needle in the middle clip position and up or down with that should be enough for any needed minor tweaking ... His airboot (aircleaner side) is SWEET , but I would recomend having a new intake rubber as you have to massage the carb on and fresh soft pliable rubber makes it a non issue ! but a old stiff one may crack ....
