Cams
in Oil Cooled
I’ve got some cams I’ve had kicking around for a long time. Marked up 23 in and 27 ex can anyone confirm what these are ? I was told 1100k cams when I got them about 12 years back
-
Dropped the needles a notch this evening, not so smooth and missing a bit. So back to the middle clip again.
-
At the moment 140 main jet, needles on middle clip. Pilots on 1.1/4 turns out . GSX 1100 airbox bellmouths with ramair socks. Standard 12 engine with titanium muzzy pipe.
-
This evening ride was a different experience. Pulled all the way cleanly from low down, maybe I’ll drop the needles a notch looking a bit rich

Pump is set to come on at 1/4 to 3/4 throttle. Ive got the switch/throttle marked up ready for a run tomorrow.
-
Float heights were all spot on, mixture screws were only 3/4 turn out. So Ive set them at 1 turn. I'm sure way back when I was running 36's it was 1.5 turns out, but that was with an 1170/1260. Not tinkering with this stuff for ten years means Ive forgotten a little
-
Gave it a run earlier, if anything raising the needles has made it worse higher up the rev range. Still a bit hesitant low down, but if I pull the choke out slightly it smooths out. Checking the floats heights in a while and give the mixture screws a tweak

Could an air leak a culprit in view of the symptoms ? What state are your inlet boots in ?
Boots are all good, tick over etc is steady.

I'll give them another check tomorrow, Ive put 140's in today. Its pulling better over 4,500 revs picking up nicely. But still a little rough just below this. Ive raised the needles a notch this evening. Next time carbs come off I'll check the float height
-
No I didn’t check float height as they’re new out of the box. Standard vacuum tap.
-
Ive just picked up a new set of 38's running on a bog standard 1200 bandit engine, bike pulls well up until 4,500 revs then kind of bogs down a bit. If i pull the choke out its starts pulling again. Standard jets are 135, worth raising the needles or just stick in the 140 mains ?
-
I ended up getting an efe taper fitted on my old engine when i had the crank rebuilt. But ultimately having spun the original tapper three or four times I went over an outboard alternator kit, a lot less weight on the crank to spin.

No brace across front frame cradle on 750 also

Same as the old chris richards colours ?

I had the base gasket let go on a 1100 et clutch side, covered my boot in oil. Luckily spotted soon enough not to cause any big problem.

Unfortunately I may have to sell my newly built katana 1100 due to the clutch being so heavy I can’t pull it in more than 6 times will my bad fingers. it is so heavy it almost needs two hands. I really don’t want to part with it so do you guys have any ideas?
How old is the clutch cable ?
-
stainless studs,nuts with plenty of copper slip.
-
You'll need a good battery with that compression.

Get yourself some cardboard, the lower mounts aren't rocket science. Just make sure the metal is the same thickness .
-
EFE 1230 pistons are 20mm size small ends (et 18mm) , unless someone will do a custom set. If it was me I'd stick with the 1168, i went 1260 and had issues with clutch slip. It could have done with a lock up clutch/spacer , but i was never sure if there was enough room in a mag 2 frame.

sorry, i should have been more specific, et uk model, early 80's, the one before the efe, although there was i think a ex model of the same period but i don't know of the differences between that and the et??
No sure anyone did, e,ex,et but then the ez was also known as an e

I hope he's not

I could be way off base here
but one thing that is very different between the two frames are the engine mounts lower frame.
Has anybody got a 750? Can't remember what he goes by but pete750et son has could he take some sizes and I can compare to the 1100 frame or @imago have you a 1100 and 750? To compare?
Yes the lower mounts are slightly different, the 1100 engine lower mount hole sits just in front of the frame lugs on the 750 frame instead of sitting in the middle of the two lugs. So easy enough to make new plates.

Efe have tin tops with a recess in the middle that holds the spring in place.
