Thanks John. It's running with the old boot. Can't wait for the new one. I think it runs rich but exhaust says lean. Plug says rich

[STiForester]

so fresh 93 octane with a 32:1 mixture.... and new intake boot... other than that its ready to go.... well se if its still running rich and ill go down to a #290 jet if not maybe a 280 jet.... i looked and it does have port work done i can see... guy who had it before says he thinks its at least .20 over.... but i have no idea. hmmmm we shall see soon as the intake boot gets here

[STiForester]

New intake boot arrives thanks to jeswinehart

[STiForester]

New intake boot is on and sealed. Now to play with her sizes and plug chops till I find the sweet spot...

[STiForester]

new boot!

thanks jeswinehart!

You are very welcome.

P.S. that wide radiator hose clamp will ruin your new intake boot. It will cut in on the bottom side over a (short) period of time, just like it would on a original o.e.m. one.
You might want to put a shout out for a oem one or look up BMW hose clamps, they use barrow clamps on some of BMW cars (forget who told me that)

Yea thanks I'll get one tomorrow! I can't figure out what the engraving on the side of my jug is. Says B+B. I assume it was the person who ported the bike before me when it was raced

Lookin good man!Feels good when things come together and something gets accomplished!

[STiForester]

yea most def.... when i got it, it was a rolling frame with not even working rear brakes... motor in pieces in a trash bag and all the bolts and hardware arent correct size and they were all in a muddy bucket... its coming together very well for the little i have spent on it.... your building the 350x right? coming along very nice ive been keeping up with it

[GoObYdOo]

Thanks!Yea i know the feeling.I just got it back today from sandblast,gonna add pics tomorrow.Im going to place an order for every single rubber grommet on the thing and the correct hardware as well.It sucks trying to get it all,but its worth it in the end!
