    Cheers.

    The fuel filters are installed backwards. You want the fuel to flow into the end where crap collects in the void outside the filter media and be visible. The way these filters are installed the crap will collect behind the filter media and plug it up.

    nice explanation, but tuning a well tuned engine isn't as helpful as you think it is. taking an out-of-tune engine and brining it in is perhaps more useful to novices.

    I have been searching the internet looking for GOOD explanations with clear and informative photography to go with it.....finally found this on your channel...thank you. I have been trying to get my 1972 R 75/5 carbs adjusted for a week and most of the sites are more confusing than helpful. I immediately subscribed to your channel. One question: Do you ever need to adjust the idle mixture screw in and/or out a bit from recommended setting until the carb picks up it's highest RPM's. This is shown on a lot of the sites I looked at, but not sure if it is needed, or if the Carbmate takes care of that?

  • @mwtraining4310
    @mwtraining4310 6 месяцев назад +2

    Really good and informative video. You should mention that this is the last stage of getting your bike run perfect. There is a lot of stages before this if your bike arent running well, such as; Setting valve clearance and check your ignition timing.

  • @altuspienaar7679
    @altuspienaar7679 7 месяцев назад +2

    Your "air screw" is in fact a fuel mixture screw.
    There is a huge difference and knowing which is which is important to help one access how adjusting it will influence the setting.
    The CV or diaphragm carbs use a fuel mixture screw and the older slide carbs use a air mixture screw to help adjust for smooth idle and off idle running of the motor.
    This setting will have the most effect at idle but they can also influence smooth running at higher rpm.

    • @jumpinjee
      @jumpinjee 7 месяцев назад +2

      If you watched the video you would know that he did call it an air screw but right after that he explained that closing the screw leans the mixture and opening enriches the mixture.
      It could not possibly be explained more clearly or correctly.

  • @59jaguar

    Hi, great video by the way thank you very much.
    I wanna ask if you can show us how to remove the vibrations especially at the lower RPMs. I tested out several airheads this weekend and rejected buying them because the vibrations were so bad. Is there a normal amount of vibration that we should consider?
    I really would like to know that I’m not passing up a good bike just because it’s not tuned correctly. Thanks Jim in New Hampshire.

    I see that some videos refer to the idle/mixture screw as the one right below the throat of the carburetor (surrounded by the tube molded in the carburetor body). In my 64/32/13 & /14 there is only that screw underneath the carburetor. There's the other one on the top, on the inside, next to where the cable attaches. Which one should I be using to adjust idle balance?

Can you please touch on the cold start/choke/& warm up tips & tricks that must occur before you got your almost spot on idle at the beginning of this video? My '84 R65LS (RED) is a cold start darling whose carbs air/fuel mixture base is .5 turn out.
    Question: What must I adjust if RED cranks but won't start with enrichener/choke on; valves are in adjustment; carbs are clean & clear; cables in order; and needles & jets are true?? TIA SusanQ

    Great video two points: I agree with one comment about adjusting a well tuned bike makes it look easy. 2nd I have a ‘83 R80. With a differential water gauge the bike idles great when I open the throttle the fluid almost immediately gets sucked into the left cylinder Not enough time to even check throttle cable adjustment.Am I missing something?

    Thought I joined the channel ($4.95/mo) today, but I don't know where to put a question so I'm putting it here. I just rebuilt the left side carb of my 1978 R80/7 using your video. Went great. Got it stripped down, cleaned up and reassembled with no extra parts. Put it back on the bike, followed your sync video (using a Carbtune II) and again, I think I did it correctly, but when I did the temperature test on the two cylinders after a 1/2 hour ride, the left cylinder read approx. 270 degrees F, but the right one was at 360 degrees F. Any help you can offer would be great.

    • @TheBMWGuy
      @TheBMWGuy  2 года назад

      Sorry you can send me an email at thebmwguy126@gmail.com. You can adjust your mixture screws on the carb to dial in the temps. Making it leaner will increase the temps and richer will decrease.

    Great video - quick question for you. I live at 6000' and ride up another couple thousand feet in elevation locally. I have K&N air filters on my 81 R100RS. I had a local shop sync the carbs this past spring and was told the K&N air filters make this bike hard to start - it is hard to start cold. Once it starts and warms up the bike is idling around 3400 rpm... Which seems high. I think the mech who did the sync set the idle screw so the bike would start cold but that leave me with a high idle once warm.... Any suggestions?
    Thanks

      you can remove each spark plug cap 1 at a time so it runs on just 1 cylinder and set the idle to ~500-600rpm per cylinder. this is not as accurate and takes a trained ear. also measure head pipe temps at idle and off idle
