The biggest advantage of split carbs is that you can shorten the intake manifold length........not sure that would be good for a road bike :) I can see how that could be advantageous... But I just want this to have a reliable carb system. I wanted to avoid the headache of dual split cables by going...

Good to know! Oh, check out what I just found on eBay, NOS 900 intake manifold. Not like I need it but still. https://www.ebay.com/itm/127036908864 Screenshot_20250407-174327.png Screenshot_20250407-174347.png Screenshot_20250407-174401.png Since the intake manifold dips down at an angle in the cent...

On another note for a project on this bike, making some gold Brembo adapters for 65mm spacing. There's some out of Australia for $190 shipped but I think I can get it done for less. Sketched up the part in 3D software, transferred to my 3d printer and printed out a copy now. Now I just need to buy a...

Well fancy that, according to the Parts Republik website and schematic, they are the same. Front and rear there is no difference. :thumbup: Of course the more I think about it, I'm also assuming that Ducati never changed the mounting angle through the years. Given all the changes to the motor in the...

I wonder if I was given two of the same cylinder manifolds, despite the auction showing front and rear, labeled as such even. The casting lines, burr removal, stamping is identical for both. I'd think even stamping of the number 7 might be off. I used an aluminum block I had laying around to show di...

After a little bit of research, it looks as though I might have to snag a set of the 900 intake manifolds as they according to some people online sit a little bit lower. That should help me with some clearance issues if can't figure the pod filter that I need. The 750's are much straighter inlet whe...

Did a little test fitting of the new carbs. Need to fully tighten it down still but it's a little squeeze in there. Now to get some Uni Filters, well that's what this guy did on his 906 with the FCR's and they fit sooooo should for me right? Though he went split FCR's and I went banked so I hope tha...

Thanks for the information an ideas for carb sync tool. I'll see what I come up with when I'm ready to do that. Until then, this should help me out with the carbs. PXL_20250403_004340448.jpg Now that I'll be needed the push/pull throttle tube, I opted against the Motion Pro unit and picked up one of...

Hi Enginerd, if you're on a budget my tip would be to build a carb synchronization tool yourself using just two bottles and a few meters of transparent fuel line. Dirt cheap but pretty effective. That's how I synchronized the Weber on my Paso and it runs as fine as the original set up allows. Here'...

Funny you mention changing the carbs.... Just recently acquired these in 39mm form. Got a Mikuni fuel pump and vacuum petcock from a monster to help with the fueling situation. Oh and the intake manifold is from a 750, stamped as such.

Sounds like you have a cylinder not firing. You can hear it start to fire as you rev it up. To me I would say you have an issue with your ignition somewhere. Most likely low voltage at the plug. Could be coil or spark plug wires or maybe the plug. It may also be low voltage to the coils. Have you d...

So I've played around a little with the bike checking over everything and seems everything checks out. It takes forever and a day to start butt I think the bike is just running rich. When I do get the bike to run, the exhaust is popping a lot. here's a video clip so you can see what I mean: https://...

Verified spark at the plugs and voltage while cranking is about 10.4v. Pulled the plugs and saw they were rather wet. Vertical left, horizontal right. PXL_20250313_233257177.jpg Cranked the engine over, plugs pulled to show the stream of fuel coming into the engine when I twist the throttle. When I ...

On a different note, since the bike sits on the center stand now (yes I even had the side stand down as I just set it up) and I've been starting it, it's having a heck of a time starting. Not sure if I flooded it in all my attempts starting but, it did backfire once. After such, it still isn't start...

fixed.. it's the center stand light. Never seen one of those before
