Yet, you have a standard air box. I hope that the diaphram springs are the originals  if notI have the set Dave gave to me.I'm not EVEN going to ask how much the spun bearing cost ya.      Jerry  ----Jerry, I sent the crank and rods out to have them machined/replaced. Total for the crank and one rod replaced was $378 w/shipping Not too bad if you ask me. I did have the head gone thru and freshened up while the crank was gone. That cost $180  Throw in $80 for new valve shims and here we are!I did all the labor myself so that just took a couple of evenings after work. $0  ;)  Ben  --Forwarded Message Attachment--From: blackgpz at rochester.rr.comTo: gpzlist at micapeak.comDate: Sun, 20 Jul 2008 10:14:55 -0400Subject: Re: Ben,     Did you check the pilot jet as well? It should be a #135. Check the free length of the diaphragm springs. Stock is 4". If they are 3 1/4", then they are out of a Dynojet kit and need to be replaced with stock ones. This is a known cause of an off-idle hesitation you describe. Last, I would check the float heights. Low speed operation is sensitive to this so they need to be close to spec, 18-20mm I believe. I'll assume the needles are stock.     Set the pilot screws to 2 turns out from lightly seated. If the diaphragms don't have any holes in them and there are no other vacuum leaks (boots bolted tightly to the head, clamps tight around carbs, no open vacuum taps for the petcock and KLEEN air valve), it should run with no problems.     Did it idle OK? Would it hesitate when you blipped the throttle with no load? I'm not sure I know what you mean when you say it is loading up with fuel. To me that means if you let it idle it would foul itself out and eventually quit. Another tip from my experience is once you foul a plug, it needs to be replaced. Cleaning it doesn't work and the bike won't run right until you put in a new one(s). So here's a checklist:110 Main jet  check135 Pilot jet  #35 check Float height 18-20mmNo holes in diaphragms (hold them up to the light to look for holes) checkPilot screws 2 turns out  checkStock diaphragm springs checkNo vacuum leaks checkGood plugs check  If all this checks out, you should be good to go. Steve in Western NY'96 GPZ1100'02 Daytona 955i'08 KLR 650"You Can't Fix Stupid", Ron White----Steve, It idles fine. When I blip or even ease into the throttle at any rpm, with load or without load, its like it loads up with fuel so bad it causes an engine miss.  Even if I turn the idle screw up too much, it wont idle correctly.

Even if carbs look clean, remove and clean the idle jets with solvent and compressed air and make sure they are stock (35 I think, not 135 ) and blow compressed air through all the passage in the carbs you can find. Adjusting float heights is not too difficult if you have a manual and measure carefully. Sometimes a little grit under the float valve or a worn ring around the tip of the valve will keep it from seating and fill one of the bowls with gas, so make sure the seats and float valves are in good shape. Also check the carb boots for cracks and make sure you have all vacuum ports on the carbs that do not have a vacuum line attached, plugged. At what rpm and throttle position are you feeling the bog? For instance is it only at full throttle in the 2500 to 3500 rpm range or is it at 1/4 or 1/2 throttle as well? Is there a slight improvement or does it get slightly worse when the bike reaches operating temp? Adjusting carbs is about 80% science and 20% art. Once everything else has been checked and verified, a good carb sync may help as well. Dave B---Dave, it bogs ant any and all rpm. Blip or turn the throttle and it will want to die. There is no change with engine temp.I know it has to be something simple.
