Well, I picked up a '95 C10 from a neighbor who was moving and got a killer deal: $1400. Then started the fixing... so far I have: 1) bled and rebuilt the front brake calipers 2) bled the clutch system (almost empty and VERY dirty) 3) changed the engine oil 4) change the shaft-drive lube 5) removed and cleaned out the carbs (full of gunk, and I have never been more angry with rubber in my life) 6) got new tires (the Avon combination with a 110 up front) 7) Checked the air-filter (looks new) 8) Run about 3 tanks with B12 Chemtool (at directed concentration) 9) replaced the battery 10) Drilled out the pilot screw plugs and adjusted them to 2-turns out BUT... There is still some roughness at idle and at low throttle openings and my fuel economy stinks - I filled up while on the centerstand and at 160 miles the gauge is reading empty, although I haven't hit reserve yet. I'm thinking I need to synch the carbs, and here is where the questions start. From here on out I'm on a shoestring budget until my wife gets a job, so keep that in mind.... A) Should I replace the plugs before synching? B) I want to build a carb-synch tool. > Does anybody have directions for building a 4-cylinder version? > What diameter hose do I need to use so that I don't need any adaptors? C) How do you synch the carbs? > Any C10-specific directions on carb-synching? What am I hooking up to and where are the screws I need to adjust? > Any special tools required for getting to the screws on a C10? D) After replacing the carbs there is no play in the throttle grip - it no longer seems to be spring-loaded. > This has to do with the little adjuster nuts for the two throttle cables, right? Which one which way? E) I want to get an in-line fuel filter to prevent carb issues. > Which of the two lines hooked to the petcock needs the filter? What size hose should the filter fit? F) I know the suspension is adjustable, but I don't know what adjusting it DOES, exactly. If I want Connie to feel as sporty as possible (one person riding), what settings should I use? Also, any suggestions of other things to fix/check on a neglected bike... it sat unused with unstabilized fuel for 2 years prior to being adopted by me. Apologies for the bombardment of questions. I'm quite certain they've been asked (and answered) before, but I'm having trouble with the search function. Also... is there a way to search past Concourier articles? From what I've seen they're very well written but it's hard to find what I'm looking for. Any links, guidance, stickies, etc, that you feel are useful for any of my questions will be greatly appreciated.
