Got an 81 XL-500s yesterday for $1700. It rides but stumbles past 3/4 throttle. Hoping doing what you did in this video fixes it so I can really open her up on the road.

There’s a small rubber O-ring where the needle goes in the carb (where the fuel comes in). Be careful it doesn’t come out if you blow compressed air in it.

Can’t get gas to squirt out at the end, any idea what I did wrong or what I should look for? Great video btw, was very helpful.

Checkout the video at 11:00mins. Were the holes in the membrane good? Does the Accelerator pump shaft move when you twist the throttle?

I have the exact same carb. Can’t find pilot jet anywhere on it. Does it have one? Thanks for the video!

Check at 10mins into the video. There’s a small rubber o-ring, spring and then the adjustment screw.

Don’t know off hand. I put a 1979 XR500 carb (and intake boot) on my XL500s. 2mm bigger.

Hey do you think you need that little rubber boot for the accelerator pump rod ?
@WeekendHobbyMechanic3 жыл бұрын
That rubber boot needs to be in good shape, the pump won’t work if it’s deformed.
