THIS WORKS. I just finished doing everything you mentioned in the video and the bike runs amazing. Thank you so much for making this video, I got two of those carbs for only 16 bucks each and the bike runs like new. This video made getting the bike going again super easy and I can't believe how cool the bike turned out. Great job! A+++++++++++++
@@todorow22 You rock! I am not much of a movie maker, but here is a video of what you helped me build. It's awesome, the bike starts easy and runs awesome. Still have tuning to do though. th-cam.com/video/7C40B97BN84/w-d-xo.html
Sure I would be happy too! If you haven't seen my other video from last year's walk around I talked about it in that one but I'll plan a separate one too. I think out of all the upgrades I've done that one is by far the easiest, with the most impact. Having hydraulic clutch is sooooo nice.
@@todorow22yeah man haha that’s actually the video that made me subscribe! Was hoping on a more in depth video! As stated I really like your dedication to the xt! I have a 1985 one and love it!
So why would you need the second carb to still open slower? Couldn’t you just lean them out more and open them at the same time? Only asking because I’m probably going to follow what you did with the twin 28s just curious why one has to be delayed instead of in sync
Ya this has been an ongoing discussion on XT350 forums, the one guy that in the past has done it seemed to set them up like that. Which is how the stock carburetors work. I agree with you that we should be able to lean them out and open at the same time, the controversy comes from how the stock YDIS system works. Winter's almost over so I'll be back into it and finishing this mod soon. Hopefully I have some answers for ya 😂
@@todorow22 yea the YDIS set up is strange and trying to get it dialed in right is drivin me nuts lol so I was thinking this or doing like a 36-42mm single carb and make an adapter
@@trevormatthews7305 check out the Yamaha Warrior. It's a 350cc single (SOHC) but does use a single carb setup. I was also considering that swap, but what sucks is the rear shock is right in the middle so any single carb setup would need to be offset left/right to avoid the shock.
Confirmed the black coating on the skirt is Teflon
man you have fixed all the problems with the xt, very exciting. i love that old bike and you addressed all its problems.
Thanks man! Working on the last one still with carb replacement but almost there.

Keep up the good work! Where did you get the manual from? I would be intrested in a copy! Will rebuild my 86, probably next year.
I'll link it below, thanks for the support!

Thank you!@@todorow22
Awesome!
Could you do a small video on your hydraulic clutch setup?
Love your dedication to the xt350!

In that video I just linked I talk about it a lot ^. I linked how to order the larger master cylinder version in the video description.

Now that its been a while: How was tuning those carbs?
How much better than the funky stock carb setup? I'm getting tired of this weird cv/ydis setup
Tuning the PWK24s was not hard, way better than the stock carb setup.
