so a easy way to tell if ur carbs are in sync or not is if it revs up fin and runs?? i recently bought a f2 tht sat for a unknown period of time with bad gas in it, sat so long the gas turned yellow, and it idles rough and till about 1/4 throttle doesnt run like it should u can even hear it out the exhaust tht it isnt running right, but anythin above 1/4 throttle runs like it should so im gonna give the carbs a good cleaning and give me a chance to search down any vacuum leaks.

clean the carbs fix the vacum leaks put new plugs in it and try that but if you get the carbs out of sync it's a bitch usless you know how to get them back in sync .... but i dont see why they wld be out unless someone was working on them ..... ask the person you go it from what had been done to it before you got it ...

i just put new plugs in it two days ago, i also noticed looks like the carbs are leaking so im hoping they just need cleaned really good, cuz i cant find any carb kits anywhere and also why the carbs are apart ill know if it has a jet kit or not, as i just ordered a header and full exhaust. and i noticed on 2 of the carbs it was missing the screws tht tighten the clamp up on the carbs so i figure its gotta have a vacuum leak or two, and previous owner didnt know much it was a weird deal where he got it from someone, so im on my own, tag was out since 03 so i know its been sitting alot. so carbs are due for a good cleaning just hoping it already has a jet kit so i dont have to buy one right now, and hoping cleaning the carbs fixes all my problems including my leaking carb issues. and also i heard u can put a 900rr rear wheel on a f2? do u know what all u have to do im wanting to run a 180 rear tire

you can run a 180 on the wheel you have now also i think someone on here has a carb set up for like 90 bucks shipped look in parts for sale . i'd look into it if that will help........ a vacum leak hmmmmm i bet that why its running like it is !!!!!!! i don't know about the 900rr wheel fitting i'm not real sure if it will or not i'd say not but i don't know ..... i'd try and fix the vacum leak before i took the carbs off run some race gas in it and try that before you take them off ....

well i can get a brand new front a rear set of tires for 166 bucks after shipping. thts the factory size in front, and a 180 55 in back, or the guy said he might be able to get me a 170/60 in rear for same price he acted iffy so i might just run the 180. i want a wider back tire tht for sure, think it will look so much better. but just worried about clearance. but seems to be alot of ppl have squeezed a 180 on their f2's. i just want it to handle good. i attached a bike of my bike.
