  Very informative video. As well as smoothing out the engine, I’ve found that setting the air/fuel mix correctly is critical in preventing the engine from wanting to bog out and stall when lifting off idle. Have you experienced this with these carbs?

• 
  @Radar100RS20 күн бұрын

  I will try to answer as I helped Brook with the video. Yes,getting the air/fuel mixture set correctly will prevent the "bog" just off idle. After i finish the carb balance, I go back and double check the idle air/fuel settings, once I'm sure they are correct then, double check the balance again, as idle air/fuel can affect the carb balance. It is a "balancing act" between all the adjustments. We have developed a written, step by step procedure. If you are interested contact me and I'll email a copy.

  I watched with amazement as a gentleman balanced the twin D'ellorto carbs on my 74 R90s many years ago. He'd use two screwdrivers while putting his head on the gas tank. When done, the idle was silky smooth. I asked him to teach me. He'd laugh and say that he couldn't explain it. He was service manager at a local BMW dealer. If his old bike(with the Earls forks /2 I think) didn't fire with one kick, He'd tear into it. Great video, BTW. Thanks

  What an excellent video! One remark though: in some countries, however, this kind of conversion is strictly illegal as the only displacement allowed is the one that appears on the license. Although such infringement is undetectable during inspection, if God forbids there is an accident and the infringement is discovered, the insurance policy is no longer valid. In certain countries any modification that deviates from the license is strictly forbidden, so check beforehand.

  Really helpful - thank you! Just removed and replaced my lock (as it had no key) in tiny gap between frame and fender (from outside the left side of complete bike), but now have to remove it again, as the new lock rotates - yours is the only account that clearly shows the detent pip between the lock and the frame. Hopefully I've only got to do it all again just one more time to get it right...as it's not easy to do!

  I see quite a lot on airhead forums about not using the shorting method with ‘modern’ electronic ignition due to risk of damage to components. Any comments ?

  @BrooksAirheadGarageАй бұрын

  Lesley, you have to ensure the grounding spoke+plug screw top are tight and fit snuggly in the spark plug cap. It helps if you put a groove in the unthreaded end of the spoke so it engages the internal spark plug cap clip.

  Thanks Brook! Note: my 32mm carbs on 84 R65 have a circlip holdin the jet needle. There is a screw plug that must be removed to remove the jet needle. When I saw how easy Brandon pulled and the needle slid out, I checked the other end and noticed a slotted head. Unscrewed it. Voila the jet came out after the plug. Great that you are continuing to document your experiences and passing it on to Brandon too.

  Sorry, not sure why that posted. But what I am trying to say is that a new C3 bearings have about .002 "flex" in them and when the gauge anvil strikes using one ratchet, you will flex this bearing down by this amount. I actually take the measurement from the inner race which does not flex. Due to the output shaft, I have to measure the outer part of the bearing, but I use a flashlight and the lightest touch to make sure I am not depressing the bearing. I wonder if you can comment on this.

• 
  @markfrancois1296Ай бұрын

  I have rebuilt many BMW airhead transmissions for 74 - 76 model years. One question I have for you is this. When you measure the bearing surface below the measuring plate you show your depth gauge at the outer part of the bearing vs the inner race. I use the same Mitutoyo depth gauge you are using so I know that when the gauge anvil interacts with the bearing outer

  Brook, I have a set of 64/32/323 & 324 from an '81 R80 G/S. Is there any benefit to changing from the old style needles (with clips) and slides to the new style? Also, when, if ever, would it be necessary to replace all the jets, mixing screw and float needle? I am currently rebuilding them now. Thx.

  Just bought that tool from Cycle Works (a great resource) and it worked just as you show. One note: the '78 - '80 driveshaft is similar with the spring and can be removed with the tool the same way, but the shaft is different in that there are two flats cut on opposite sides at that collar that allows it to slip through the smaller diameter swing arm. I believe that spring is the source of the nickname "rubber cow".

• 
  @drew37672 ай бұрын

  Timing is also called phasing. "Phasing is the process of aligning the universal joint yokes on both ends of the drive shaft (or double u-joint) in a parallel fashion. If the joints are not properly phased, they will operate at varying speeds throughout each revolution which can cause second-order vibrations." I've seen people mention it for the later R100GS where both ends are uni joints, but not for the earlier style where one end is a yoke

  Apologies for the delay. The cost on the gasket is recommended by BMW. It may or may not help but it doesn’t help. An extra step that brings me a little peace of mind. I dumped the oil every 200 miles for 1000 miles during the break in. Sitting at nearly 5,000 miles on the new cylinders and no issues. Next step is to strap on our rebuilt 40mm carbs and matching heads to make it a nearly true R100

  I was wondering if you could help me. I have a 77 R100S with an RT fairing on it (the previous owner was apparently converting it to an RT). This also meant he did some creative rewiring. I've been chasing a bad ground, but lately, the issue has compounded with the headlight indicator lights no longer lighting up. So I decided to pull all the wires off, clean the board, and now I want to reconnect them. Problem is... I don't really know where some go. The wiring for the blinker, for example, isn't represented on the wiring diagram I have (the left blinker has a black, orange, and light blue wire). The orange wire was clipped into a combiner (that blue plastic thing with a bit of metal in it to connect two wires) with a blue and red wire. The light blue was soldered to a blue and black. And I don't remember where the black one went. I'm autistic, and looking at the wiring diagram makes me feel overstimulated with visual input.

  You maybe lucky the crankshaft shim didn’t come off the pins. Tighten the flywheel bolts a bit and turn the crankshaft to be sure there is no resistance . If there is resistance one of the shims is off the pins. You have to get the one inside the engine back on the pins or you will damage the crankshaft.
