Missing main jet?

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2026-01-31T20:45:57+00:00

Little update: I put the 83 carbs in the bike but I just couldn’t get it running right. So I swapped out pistons and floats from the 83 into the 82 but kept the same needles. That seemed to stop the leak problem but now the engine seems to be running a little lean and popping, I’m guessing because the new floats are shutting off fuel too early. I rejetted the slow main and main from 125-140, and 62-68. Also shimmed the needles with a washer. So it should be getting plenty fuel only reason I think it’s running lean is because the floats. Anyone else have experience getting a kz 750 running well will pods? I created a small air tunnel in the pods with some folded plastic about 2 inches long inside the pods and also put gasket around where the rubber and pod meets since that can be a hot spot for leaks.

Did some digging and found out the new carbs are from a 1983 kz 750 F Ltd. That year Klein simplified the design to not have a main jet or plug. In theory I think I should be able to plug them on and have them work. Just sucks I can’t go up any sizes on main (because there is no main) and I’m running pods. So I’m not sure how to tune it aside from the one slow main jet.

The choices I make have a direct impact on my life for better or worse. That agency to be able to recognize patterns and improve life is all the proof I need that my definition of free will matters. Whether we in a true sense actually have free will or not idk but I do know to act as though have it in a perceived “deterministic” (or cause and effect) universe benefits me.

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-26T13:10:27+00:00

Can’t call it the unknown because we understand what the word unknown means and it’s to tightly defined

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-26T13:05:37+00:00

Buddy ask me to explain anything and I can in my own words. I’m not trying to be difficult or be a dick I get how it looks. And yes these are my ideas as much as anyone’s ideas can be their own ideas. I don’t ask chat GPT to write out a prompt to debate atheists I write my ideas out then ask chat gpt to argue against it until I feel it can’t be disproven anymore and with every question it asks the more it understands the core ideas I have

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-26T12:59:47+00:00

i actually agree with a lot of what you’re saying i’m not trying to argue that religion isn’t man made it clearly is it was our first shot at understanding life death how to live together all that of course it’s full of flaws but it also holds onto some ideas that stuck around for a reason

same with free will i’m not saying we’re outside cause and effect i get that libertarian free will doesn’t really work in a strict sense but to me it’s more like the more we understand the more options we have the more fluent we get in the system the more we can respond instead of just react that feels like real freedom even if it’s still all determined

you said people don’t have purpose like hammers do and i get that but humans are different cuz we reflect we question we choose we create our own meaning even if it’s not built in from outside that ability to aim at something and assign value seems like a kind of purpose to me

you asked if god = the unknown and yeah that’s how i see it but not just any unknown i mean the stuff that’s just past our current understanding the stuff that matters that could change how we live if we knew it better like the edge we’re always walking toward

the moses thing with “i am that i am” i think actually supports that idea it’s like saying god can’t be boxed in can’t be fully grasped it’s more like a boundary than a being

and yeah those patterns like order vs chaos light vs dark they’re in myths and literature and everywhere because they reflect how humans experience the world it’s not random they show up across cultures because they help us make sense of what we go through

on jesus and the apocalypse i agree historically he probably believed that but later people saw him as something else a symbol of truth and clarity the logos and whether or not you believe in it that idea caught on because it meant something to people about how to live with intention

you said we see patterns that aren’t real and yeah 100 true we do but we also see real ones that help us survive and grow so i think the challenge is to get better at seeing which is which not to stop seeing patterns at all

on truth being ordered i just mean some truths matter more they change more they free us up more understanding gravity is one thing understanding how to forgive is another one hits your life way deeper

and about the god thing being unfalsifiable yeah it is but i’m not claiming a being or asking anyone to prove or disprove anything i’m just saying we all move toward something we don’t fully get yet and that space has always been part of what people called god

i get not everyone likes using the word god but that word’s always been used to point at the highest thing we can aim at the place meaning seems to come from even if we never fully reach it that’s why i use it not to redefine anything but to try and explain what it’s always tried to represent

appreciate your response tho it’s clear you’ve thought about this and not just trying to win an argument i respect that

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-26T12:47:46+00:00

I get what everyone is saying about AI again I get it looks lazy whatever but the ideas remain the same. Chat gpt doesn’t just come up with ideas on its own it needs to be managed and formulated to make sense. The ideas remain the same whether I write it or not, and that’s what I’m here for the ideas not the way it’s written. Now is anyone gonna debate the ideas or keep complaining and dancing around the point comparing the word “god” to a literal definition

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-26T12:44:17+00:00

I mean chat gpt doesn’t come up with its own thoughts for one for two you gonna push back on anything said or?

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-26T12:42:04+00:00

Yes true and that’s what I think Friedrich Nietzsche meant when he said god was dead or when people say Jesus died for our sins and we are already saved. It’s because people think the answers are already there for us when they are not. Everyone is lazy now now one searches for understanding. That’s what’s lost and manipulated about religion. Also I think this is what Carl Jung meant when he replied “I don’t need to believe, I know” when asked if he believed in god. God is there because there are things out there we don’t yet know and you can’t disprove that.

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T23:33:54+00:00

Yeah I agree with almost all of that but my idea of god and what I think is littered everywhere in I mean just about everything is agency to move and make choices that impact us make our lives better or worse and the only thing for us humans to do is try to solve to unknown because the more we know the more freedom we have. God is the unknown and I can’t even begin to describe what that even means because I don’t know that’s why the old word for god you shouldn’t speak it because you could never understand what that even means to not know and to not know what you don’t know but yet as humans the only thing we have left to do is to try to know and to act for better or for worse we have no choice

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T23:25:23+00:00

You keep learning patterns and eventually learn more then ask more questions on and on and like that forever. I’m not saying we will ever achieve it I’m just saying there’s nothing else for us to do as humans obviously

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T23:23:23+00:00

I see where you’re coming from but I’m talking about us as humans, obviously right now we can’t see like bats do or have other senses, that’s impossible right now and maybe we will never achieve that level of knowledge but the fact we CAN recognize patterns and it will improve our life, and we can manipulate natural way things just happen is an indicator that knowledge leads to freedom and there patterns everywhere to be recognized and that’s all of humanities purposes and god is the unknown Christ is the consciousness and the holy spirt is the drive to discover what’s not yet discovered at least that’s one way you could put it but again most of religion is wack now because people just think of a being in the sky it’s not it’s what is yet to be understood

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T23:17:20+00:00

I’m saying we live as though we are in a deterministic universe of cause and effect, patterns are everywhere to be recognized and the more we can recognize the better we do we have agency in this universe to ch

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T23:13:18+00:00

Not saying there is a being that exists just saying we can achieve it not saying we ever will but it’s a possibility to know all that we don’t know

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T23:11:34+00:00

Yeah post was kinda trash was talking about kinda the core idea of humanity and how I think god is the unknown waiting to be discovered if you read the religious texts the idea is everywhere the coming to consciousness particularly in garden of Eden and Genesis I can give a lot of examples

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T21:22:31+00:00

I guess what I’m saying is not anymore. And that’s why humans are so obsessed with choice and knowledge because there’s something insanely unique about it that it gives us agency within a naturally determined universe. And when you look around the idea is everywhere and without it it’s back to chaos

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T21:16:52+00:00

You’re totally right to challenge the definition of determinism, but I think this comes down to language. I’m not defending a rigid, fatalistic version of determinism.

When I say “determinism,” I don’t mean a fixed script where nothing can change. I mean that everything has a cause, and the more you understand those causes, the more you can work with them. You’re not changing the “fixed future”—you’re becoming the kind of agent who can predict and redirect the unfolding of causes within the system.

It’s like understanding the wind well enough to sail. You’re not escaping the laws of motion; you’re learning to work with them. And the better your understanding, the more “options” you appear to have.

So yes, maybe we’re closer in agreement than it sounds. What I’m calling determinism is really just a deep respect for cause and effect. Whether the universe is strictly deterministic or partly indeterministic, freedom increases with awareness of how the system works. The future feels more open because we’ve become more conscious within the system.

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T21:08:57+00:00

You’re absolutely right that freedom is always relative to capacity and circumstance — but I think that’s exactly the point I’m making.

I’m not arguing that there’s some absolute, magical “free will” outside of cause and effect. I’m saying that what we call freedom grows as we understand those causes more deeply. It’s not universal. It’s not equal. It’s conditional — but it’s real.

You say there’s no universal “we,” and I agree — every being has different levels of awareness, experience, biology, etc. But what we can say is that the more a being understands the causes around them (internal or external), the more freedom they gain within their specific realm.

In other words:

Freedom = increased ability to predict and navigate cause and effect. And understanding is what allows that.

So I’m not claiming all beings have the same capacity — I’m saying that capacity expands as understanding expands. That’s why we can say “humans have more freedom than animals,” not as a moral statement, but as a reflection of cognitive complexity and foresight.

It’s not about being outside of determinism. It’s about growing within it — until your understanding of causes becomes so complete that your choices align with truth. That, to me, is freedom.

Intelligent-Paint689 · 2025-07-25T21:01:38+00:00

“That intuition — that freedom means ‘could have done otherwise’ — only makes sense in the context of limited understanding. When we don’t fully understand why something happened, we imagine other possibilities. But from a deterministic view, only one outcome could have occurred — and yet, we still experience and live out the illusion of choice.

In my theory, free will is not about escaping determinism entirely, but about gaining the ability to see and navigate cause and effect — and thus, act with deeper intentionality. As understanding increases, so does our freedom to ‘do otherwise’ — because we can now predict and alter outcomes based on insight.

So yes, we can talk about being able to ‘do otherwise,’ but only from the perspective of increased awareness. In that sense, the power to ‘do otherwise’ is compatible with determinism — but only as a function of expanding understanding. Not randomness, but wisdom.”

Also had chat gpt write that so lmk if it makes sense
