My 2nd 350x Build (this time a 1986)

[3boyswinter]

Have had it installed for about a week now ... Put in new rebuild kit, etc

Only thing wrong it is a bugger to start. Probably takes me 20 kicks to start when engine is cold.

Once starts, goes right to idle . Everything else is fine, mid - high range. No complaints
Just can't figure why it's so hard to start. After engine is warm, will always start then 1-2 kicks.
I had a 40 and 42 slow jet before and was spitting out the carb, indicating way to lean.

It's an '02 carb
45 slow jet
165 main
1-3/4 air screw out
Stock engine (assume)
Supertrapp, 7 disks
Aftermarket header
Uni filter



My old 85 I put a '05 ex carb on, and it would start right up, the only diff, all stock, muffler, except uni filter

Some new items added to the '86 today. Sleet and rain in Charlotte, so had the time......
Recovered the seat today. Picked up the material, Cut and installed. Amazing how well the original Foam was still holding up.
Also took off the fork boots I originally had and bought, and installed O.E.M. (Should of done that from the beginning.
picked them up for $57.00

Also ordered the Renthal vintage,desert high bend handlebars (saw on the atvondemand thread, had to get them), coming up also is the PRM engine skidplate. Should arrive sometime next week with the handlebars. Pics forthcoming.

Looking good. Tom if I remember correctly...? Another 350x... I'm not sure if you remember, I met ya about a year ago when I stopped by to check out your 200x that you where selling. You must have a quick eye to find another nice 350x. Your other all red 350x was real nice too. Looking good.

Hey there, yes I remember. Trying to make this one nicer than the '85. Been getting to ride quite a bit. TNT lets me ride down there.

Finally got a couple parts I had ordered the other week.

1. Renthal Vintage/High Desert bend bars.
2. PRM Engine Skidplate to go with the Swingarm plate
3. Forgot to mention put on a new O.E.M. clutch disks, springs couple months ago.

That looks really good! I'm in the middle of my own 86 X project. But, I've got a Powroll 393 big bore for it and EDEL from an EX. You wanna sell that white tank by chance?
