OK OK OK
I am taking my 60/3 slides out to the rifle range next weekend.
I ve ordered a pair of 60/1.
I will give it a go. You got me convinced.

On second thoughts i better hold off on taking them out to the rifle range untill i give the others a run because these are new slides and the bike is ...

Thanks heaps Elliot

Very little difference between our settings. Only real point of notice is the needle. K4. I am off to check it out. By the way if you need a good web site to go to, try this one.

Hi Lumpy

I am no expert on motor rebuilding. I only know what i have learnt in the 70's when i was stuffing around drag racing. The theory in those days were for instance, if you were to put a 40mm carb on a bike that took a 32mm for instance, one would port out the intake manifolds or heads and ...

Hi Elliott
It would be good for you to check what settings you have and let me know so i can compare.
Yes i done the work myself. All very simple stuff. Pick up wires were a challenge as i am not to fluent on wiring. But there is a good drawing from steve posted on one of the topics that i followed ...

For those of you that need a starting point for 36mm PHF dellorto carbs from 32mm carbs.
This is what i done for set up and fit up for riding here in NZ.

Just to mention that the bike is a 1981 SD Darmah.
I orginally had 32mm PHF.

To fit the 36mm carbs clear of all rubbing and for tuning access i ...

Hi (On a SD Darmah)
Has anybody out there managed to set up correctly the jet configuration for all stages on 36 mm carbys. Idler/main/ needle setting etc. Any info would be a help.

When performing a compression test you wind the motor over several times until you reach maximum reading. Valves are opening and closing. You are meant to take reading with throttle fully open but i was curious as to what it would be with throttle closed as my line of thought was if carby slides ...

Hi Mizike77

There is a site on the internet has has a pdf version for sd Darmah 900 manual for free. I was using this untill i found a Hayes hard copy manual on New Zealand's Trade Me site. The Hayes manual is far superior and has trouble shooting. Also on www.trademe.co.nz a guy sells copies of ...

Thanks to everybody whom has taken the time and posted info on this topic for me. Carbs, exhaust, compression etc etc. I am new to this web site and don't no what i would have done with out it. After saying that!

Yes Carby's are cs/cd phf 32mm. Sorry for not mentioning that earlier.

Thanks Steve ...

Hi Craig
Sorry but it is not atomiser jet. The atmosier jet screws into carby body then jet holder then main jet.
The little bugger i have removed, screws into carby body then idler jet. It is shown on the diagram you have provided as item 64. But it is not shown in my manual's exploded view. What ...

Thanks Wdietz186

The carbs are PHF 32mm
Starting jet size 75
Pump jet size 40
Needle K16
Idler Jet size 62
Main jet size 122
Unknown stamped BF1 (22mm long) screws into carby body then idler jet.

I have just been pulling both carby's apart again to do some more checking after the excellant feed ...

Hi Craig in France

Yep you are right, i am confused. I am absolutely positive that there is no exhaust leak or air getting sucked in through any area of the carby manifold. Had these off and on too many times thinking this was my problem from the intial start. I brought this bike not so long ago ...

Hi Big Phil
Thanks for the info but if the valve or vale seats were worn it would show on the compression test. The front cyclinder is slightly higher than the rear and rear is running perfect. I will check the clearances to see if valve is riding. Thanks

Hi
1981 SD Darmah 900
Can anybody help me. I am needing to know what the permissable PSI compression range is for Darmah 900. Standard bore.
The problem i am having is no matter what i do, i can not get the front cyclinder to stop poping and crackling back throught the exhaust when i back off. I ...
