To do the gravity feed, you will need to put a fuel return line into the neck of your existing tank or you can change the fuel cut off valve to a 1.8.

DO NOT GRAVITY FEED!
Use the fuel pump. You are starving the motor for fuel.
Also note that I am running at approximately 5000 feet in elevation so you may need to go up even higher in jetting.

Well if it helps any, I am running a Mikuni TM38 and I have a 420 main in it with a modified air box and a DG pipe and FMF Quiet Core II.

Compression at sea level should be 136 psi.

Check your compression. You may have ran it lean and caused a compression drop from some piston damage.

I get around 10mpg with a 38mm Mikuni. A lot of it depends on your riding style.

Your motor is being starved for fuel past 1/2 throttle. Unless you run a large enough fuel shut off valve, you can not gravity feed your carb.
Is there a specific reason you are running from the main fuel tank to an auxiliary tank?
Your tanks need to be vented.

Yes a 145 is a bit small for sea level.
I have a 145 in one of mine at 5000 feet and the only mod to mine is dual intake hoses and a UNI filter.
The last Pismo beach trip I took with mine I used a 152.
The mods were:
Hillside Honda Head
DG Pipe W/FMF Quiet Core
Triple wrapped K&N Filter
My guess is you are going to be at minimum a 155 on your main.
Hard to guess exactly, because each one of these beasts has its own personality and jetting needs.

Odyssey FL350R / Re: Suspension
« on: April 02, 2013, 11:42:31 AM »Understood. I just can't believe there isn't anything from another vehicle available from an engineering standpoint to satisfy all of the great points you made.
Livewire, can Works shocks be re-furbished?
Athis, one of the problems you are going to run into is that the FL350 has a strange swing axle setup which makes the shock move in an unusual manner. Not only does it move up and down, it also swings outward as the rear suspension moves through its travel.
To accommodate for this swing out, the bottom mount of the shocks need to be a Heim style mount.

The maximum shock length is 15.25". After that, the U joints will bind.

Odyssey FL350R / Re: What UNI air filter to attach directly to carb?
« on: April 02, 2013, 11:23:24 AM »
You do not want to put just an air cleaner on the end of the carb without supporting it somehow.
Get yourself an airbox or a proper way to support the filter system. All that vibration is not good for the carb or the rubber intake boot.

Is the motor still in the Ody?
I would dismantle the clutch with it still attached to the crankshaft and see if this will give you any room so you can get a grip on the end of the stuck screw.
You can pull the outer face and the movable inner face off and leave the stationary part of the clutch still attached.

I wouldn't chance it. I don't think 1/2 inch is enough threads, you will probably strip the threads in the clutch.

Yes you need a solid bolt to thread into the threads of the clutch itself. The bolt will act as a plug that you are forcing into the clutch. The idea is to build up a couple of hundred pounds of pressure which will force the clutch off the crankshaft. How far below the surface of the clutch is the end of the piece that is wedged in the clutch? In other words how far can you thread the bolt into the clutch before it hits the end of the piece that's wedged into the clutch?
