california carb

[rww930]

Anybody really familiar with these? I'm reinstalling after having carbs sent away for cleaning, etc and have some questions ...

Cell and/or email would be great.

Thank you

Yeah, I got 6 of 'em on my Valk, they work good, but are hard to synchronize after grtting gunked up years back.  They got those the vent lines on all the carbs, which weirdly on #3 which goes off upward  instead of inboard to the center of the bike, which send vent air with fuel vapor through the carbon canister to catch and reburn later.

I have them on my '99 CA-model Tourer, along with all the other smog plumbing. I also have a set of 49-state carbs.

One day I'll de-Cal that bike and swap the carbs for the 49 staters, along with pulling the evap cannister and other bits off.

I simply blocked off those extra tubes with some JB Weld in the end. Set them up like any other carbs(sync)...runs fine.
