Title: California Carb.... help
Post by jomiyo on 05/21/08 at 09:54:10

My 07 s40 is from cali

I am doing all the necessary research(i really need a lot of it) to do some carb upgrades.

does anyone know of what the difference is for the california model or if i need to go about the spacer mod and re-jetting in a different way?

Don't quote me on this, but I think the California model has a cat converter on it. I THINK that is the only real difference.

i guess it would help if i could read! i saw cat cover... if i had re read i would have understood it.

i don't think i have one though. unless it is tucked away in the header, i don't know where it could be because i have had the whole exhaust off.

The CA models have a fuel vapor canister on them. It's underneath ( I think just in fron of the rear tire??).

I haven't seen that the muffler was different.

cat converter, is that the front tire or the rear? [smiley=evil.gif]

California models only have evap. control. Which consists of a vent line from the gas tank to a carbon canister which is also connected to the carb. No other dif that I know of.

I don't get why the Carb assy is different then....

unless that needs to connect to the carb somehow.

I believe it has extra hose(s) to the canister is why. Not near my bike, but I have 2 hoses that come out of the carb that go backwards (not sure if into air box or to the canister - mine is a CA model). I don't know if that is standard on other LS650's.

But, as far as carb changes... CA or non-CA, doesn't matter. No real difference in them. Just do what everyone else does.

okay i will.

so for a smaller spacer on the needle, what should the material be?

i was looking at just regular metal washers, but the one in it now is plastic.... i just don't want to mess it up and deem my self not able to touch another carb again.
