  1. Unless you've changed the jetting it should run as stock! So as they've been apart, it leaves either something's still blocked, missing on reassembly or reassembled incorrectly! The pattern repair parts could be moody but just off idle, 3k is transition stage onto needle so not much in a kit to change that?

  2. Running it in the shed (also not good for your health) without any load on it will not give a good diagnosis especially if its not been run for a while. Rings could be gummed up, carboned up valve seats etc. all could give low compression readings - its going to need some abuse first before making terminal judgement

  3. Personally i've built two turbo bikes, one suck through, one blow through, one 210hp the other 370hp and both with internal gates but have been around numerous others as well. I see the benefits of external gates but i'd say they are of more benefit on really big output motors that need the ultimate in tight power control, ie. racing. An internal gate can be ported to flow better and more consistently but they are definitely the 'poor' relation - mind you I've seen some rubbish external gate installs / positioning, so it has to be considered as well.

  4. As in, it will be towards the top end of its (the turbo's) performance envelope where efficiency starts dropping off and so inlet charge heat increases due to increasing the relative boost to maintain the airflow. Most turbo installations never rev out like their N/A cousins - mine had a 10,500 hp peak as N/A but as a turbo, makes its peak at between 8,500 and 9,000 - they are fuckin' torque monsters. If that ickle 400 works ....... it'll feel like a well tuned 600 or average 750 at a guess! - and it won't rev itself to bits either!

    bad kill switch connection ? - don't know this wiring diagram , so don't know if its possible... just thinking out loud

    Unlikely as switch is single feed to both coils and CDI together ie kills everything together! Possible engine rotation could be stopping so rotor is close enough to pick-up so it will spark whenever turned on - unlikely but possible. I think there is more likely to be something hinky in the ign. module - substitution is usually the only way for diagnosis.

  6. Re : CDI - I would guess that the GSX750 will probably work ok - not exactly a screamer or power monster so may suit all depends on the ign pick up pattern - single or dual? As regard carbs a set of std 750 slide carbs could work if re spaced or is the cyl. head manifold weird as well to preclude that option? Who knows.............the carbs may be fine after a good ultrasonic bath - wouldn't take them apart as you're liable to rip a gasket or shred an o-ring then they are definitely FUBAR'd without spares!

  7. I believe all the GSX variants used electronic ignition - no points. Jeez - hope there's nothing wrong with the carbs as i've never even seen a set of those - pair of dual barrel / single diaphragm Mikuni's ? - spares are not gonna be common!

  8. As they won't deliver to the UK (figure that out as they are only in Belgium!) then its unlikely anyone has used one in the UK! Can't see the point of an 'on the road' switchable ign. map, actually is - maybe running too much compression that needs good fuel and you can only buy crap? Personally i'd just avoid 'making progress' till I got decent fuel !

  9. Actual flames that are burning and not just from the bang is a rich condition but bangs on over-run points to a lean condition / exhaust air leak! Have you done the PAIR mod as that would cure one likely source, others would be poor joint sealing. just raising the needle isn't gonna help with a Cobra pipe - ideally a designed needle and a MJ swop will be required.
