FJ Project Writeups / Re: 1989 3CV Streetfighter Pro...
Last post by aviationfred - Yesterday at 06:34:24 PMI have been working on the Streetfighter for the last 2 months while recovering/healing from the accident. I have also been riding as much as I can. The bike is now officially in the riding stage. Hopefully there won't be too many bugs to work out.

Stop in next time you're in the states Dean. I have an extra FJ you can ride.

Maintenance / Re: Fj Carb Sync Question.
Last post by fj1289 - July 25, 2024, 10:16:13 PMI finally remembered the bench synch technique for the CV carbs - to at least get them close.
Tuen the idle speed adjustment up fairly high and use a small drill bit shank as a feeler gauge. Adjust the idle speed until the drill bit barely passes through the opening onbase carb. Then adjust each successive carb to match the base carb.
Not sure how close this gets you - I do t know if this is a "rough sync" to get the bike running on a set of rebuilt carbs so you can get them on the vacuum gauges, or if it will get you pretty close to what a set of gauges will yield.

Maintenance / Re: Fj Carb Sync Question.
Last post by Millietant - July 25, 2024, 10:09:47 PMThat method won't work with the FJ's constant velocity carbs. You can't static synch CV carbs.
Without the engine running, opening the throttle just rotates the butterflies and with no vacuum to act on the diaphragms, the slides just sit in their bottom position.
It's so straightforward to synch the FJ carbs with vacuum gauges (no need to remove the airbox) it's worth the cost of buying a decent set of gauges
