> [@focusinprogress](#): > > bumping this up, how’s everyone else’s builds coming? I should be able to ride by the weekend or so. Once the CB550 cafe is finished for this season’s updates, the XS650 is going under the knife for the hardtail. I’ve been stripping it and selling the parts to fund a sporty peanut tank and solo seat, so it’s nearly stripped to a roller/engine already lol. No progress on the Ironhead yet, my atv and boat decided to take a shit at the same time so my extra funds have been split too many ways to really accomplish anything. I did get it running now, but I have to adjust the carb cause it wont idle w/o the enrichment lever engaged, I’ve never done any carb tuning before, so that will be a learning experience for me. ---

I didnt do any of the jetting or setup on it, so I don’t know that it’s even correct to start with or what the deal is. The motor was fully rebuilt, and this carb was previously on the bike before the rebuild, and I doubt it was setup correctly when put back on. ---
