Honda / Re: Honda xl 350 dellorto phbe 36mm

Just a possible heads up on the dealer recommendation Previous to the 390 I had a 422 cc (87mm venolia) with megacycle camshaft 12740, and same dellorto phf 36.  Settings were 60/3 slide, main jet 140, pilot 65, needle jet AB265, needle K4 on lowest setting ( top slot) Fuel screw 2.5 turns out.  Heavy bog off idle and it siezed lean at mid throttle 3500-4000 rpm on an uphill tuning run. Lesson learned - dont tune on highway where there is no shoulder to pull off.......There may have been a blocked passageway but i dont think so.

Hi Davy, I have an xl with 390 kit venolia. (84 mm), mild cam (unknown)  home made 50 mm pipe. and 36 mm phf dellorto. Runs really well from idle to about 6500 rpm (tacho) then usually not so good, maybe fat? maybe pipe ?? maybe advancer  unstable. Starts first kick. Great midrange.
The phf looks like a phbe with accelerator pump. My setting for what its worth is Slide 60/3 , needle K32 with clip in second from bottom slot, (i.e. needle second highest position) pilot jet 75, choke jet 75, AB 265 needle jet. main jet 185. Idle screw 2 turns out. Spark plug NGK D9EA, Pings on D8EA, could probably go to D10EA.  Mototek CDI 350 electroninc ignition ( made starting much easier)
