anyone around Portland, Oregon that is willing to help?

Yes, there is a difference in jetting between an 84 and 90 bike.  You need a specific kit for your model year of bike.   

Another option is to talk with Randy and just buy the jets you need and shim your needles.  Way cheaper..

Working as fast as I can to get things done....

Well...after seeing this bike, you will understand I am all about cheap...lol
Thanks for the info.

Ok...it has been awhile now...did you guys ever do this? How is the house coming along? Need any help with that project?

Also, as you guys know....it is super nice out. I was going to go for a ride after work today, would one of you be up for it?

Hope everything is going well. 

Cheers

My pain in the ass project is completed and I am now working on getting the garage back in order, while working on my carbs.

You can see what my project was here: http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=8848.0

What is everyone wanting to do?  Seems some people wanted to sync carbs.. plus ?

Well to be honest...I am up for anything. I don't know that many people around here...and even less that ride..lol

It would be nice to be able to hang out with someone that knows what they are doing. I could stand to learn a lot.
Even if you just needed an extra pair of hands.

I am at work in Wilsonville until 5pm. but after that I am as free as a bird.

I think the plan is to have it on a Saturday or Sunday.  Just makes more sense to do that instead of after work during the week.

I have a child on the weekends..but if it is my daughter..she would love it..if she could come that is...if you look at my profile picture..you can see she is also a total biker and is very well behaved. If not..I might be able to make some plans around it.

Well, I mainly started this thread wanting to do carbs and valve shims. I tried synching the carbs to the best of my ability with my homemade manometer that is only for two carbs at once. So I'm down for whatever but I work on saturday Until 3 and have training on Sundays 1-4

I could use all the help I can get...it would also be nice to see one that is fully put together in person.
I know I said I was 'cheap' before, but I was really just trying to be funny.
This bike needs a lot of TLC, and I am surprised it even goes down the road, but it has been a life saver for me and I need to pay a bit of attention to her...But the PO/s have really butchered the wiring.
But I know my fuel delivery also needs help.

If you wanted to stop by a Saturday afternoon that would be fine with me.  Just need to get my garage back in order before having you gents over.  Not being able to find tools is a pain.. I am busy this weekend..Maybe next weekend.. won't know more until early/mid next week..

Brad: No problem with me if you want to bring your daughter.  If she's into bikes I'm sure she won't get bored watching us work.

Very easy to sync all 4 carbs at once with my CarbTune.  Valves are a different story and can be rather time consuming the first time around.  Sadly not something we will be able to do at my place since the engine must be stone cold.

No problem checking fuel hose routing and such.

sounds good to me. just get back with a time and place! actually, if you guys are interested I think that there is a motorcycle swap meet from 9-6 in Mololla. would be a fun ride if its nice.

[HARTLESS]

the swap meet is this Saturday...I meant! haha at least I saw a flier for one.....

[Brad]

Hey you guys...are we still on for this Saturday? 

I plan on going for a nice ride with Bianca on Sunday..I was thinking about going to Tillamook to get some ice cream, then up to Seaside just because, and then work on our way back.

If anyone would like to join us let me know.

Feel like an ass since I need to push it out another week.  Not in any kind of position to lend a hand.. meaning the garage is still a mess.. plus my FJ is carb-less at the moment.. and the rally is just around the corner..

My work areas are usually a disaster, and I get really frustrated if I can't find tools when giving someone else a hand.. I give you my word I will get you gents over.. I know things don't need to be perfect.. but they do need to be cleaned up enough to get bikes in and locate necessary tools..

[HARTLESS]

No problem Pdx! I would invite you guys over but I don't even have a garage at my apartments haha.

Brad, I work Saturday until 3... and I don't get paid until Monday so I don't know if ill have enough money... but let me see what I can do....
