At that point, the enricheners weren't even needed unless it was below 0°F. Kind of overkill IMHO.

And I like the Ural (and my airhead Beemer) because I ca tinker. With all of the computer and electronic controls on the newer bikes you can farkle but not tinker. <br /><br />I met another Ural owner on Monday who is thinking of installing a 3 cylinder turbo diesel. That's serious tinkering...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-45394050187314547372015-10-07T05:03:25.347-08:002015-10-07T05:03:25.347-08:00RichardM, yep, what you described in terms of each...RichardM, yep, what you described in terms of each jet's function is how I understood it as well. Never did mess with the idle jet. You're much more methodical than I was though.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-7003418523148163472015-10-07T05:01:33.235-08:002015-10-07T05:01:33.235-08:00Dar, the specific tinkering Richard is doing is co...Dar, the specific tinkering Richard is doing is common to carbureted motorcycles in general, not just URAL. Its one thing I don't miss since I got an EFI rig. Though of course, the EFI rig brings along it's own set of needs/wants. :)<br />redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-71077202498672121402015-10-06T21:26:50.155-08:002015-10-06T21:26:50.155-08:00Richard there seems to be a lot of tinkering with ...Richard there seems to be a lot of tinkering with your Ural, is this common? i think I am glad I didn't get one at this point, I am nit a wrencher and it woukd be expensive and problematic for me me fix.
