Legend TT carburetor tune-up
Hello,
I bought a 2000 Legend TT with 300 miles on it.
The motorcycle is like new but has some problem because was stopped for a long time: the chain is little bit rusty and the gas tank has some rust inside.
The engine has some hesitation below 3000 RPM and the idle is unstable.
The gas mileage is also low: 30 MPG.
The previous owner told me that he has cleaned the carburetors, and I suppose that the problem at low RPM depend on wrong carburetors reassembly.
I checked the carburetors balance and it is OK.
The gas tank filter was not clogged.
I checked the spark plugs.
The spark plug on the left side and the spark plug in the middle have a good brown color.
The spark plug on the right side is black, then I turn the corresponding pilot air screw in order to reduce gasoline in the mixture.
I rode for 100 miles but the spark plug is still black.
I want to overhaul the carburetors but I need some information before.
What is the main jet size?
What is the pilot jet size?
What is the needle position?
Do you know any website providing technical information about Triumph 885cc engine ?
Do you know some shop/website who sell the saddlebag brackets at reasonable price?
Thank you.
I am happy to find a so interesting forum.
