There's a guy local to me that has a laeger frame and did some desert racing. He ran FMF pipes and his story was that he would damage those silencers pretty often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I solved the problem last night. Noss sent me blaster cut stroker domes instead of banshee cut domes. They were way too deep! Unfortunately, while trying to set up jetting with the screwed up domes, I melted an electrode on my plug which screwed up my ported stock cylinders... Soo my serval cylinders are on order now lol. Thank you guys for all the input! Me and Carl are going to make a day of tuning the bike when I get the serval installed!

Agree with above. Carb sync sounds most likely. You can simply swap your plug wires side to side. If problems follow the wire, you have a wire problem. If not, you have other issues. Remove the airbox or filters so you can see the slides. Sometimes you can peek through the box. You will likely see one slide much higher than the other. Reeds are certainly possible but the carb check might be an easier check first. In many cases over the years, we see people messing with something on the bike and get the adjuster on top of the carbs not "seating" right. Make sure the cable ends are in their home! We also see where the cable will fray and cause issues.

Get yourself a sync tool. Do you still have the tors caps or is the tors removed? . A pressure test will tell you a lot and new gaskets doesn't mean no leaks. It's a must on a 2cycle engine.

I would agree with this possibility. On my Laeger my right side silencer will contact the caliper. I had to install a 1/2" spacer on both silencers to angle them outward to create the clearance and a uniform look.

I'm having that issue on one side not starting till I hit the throttle then it would startup then on idle it back cold

Im extremely surprised this didnt sell yet. This top end would make for a very fun inexpensive setup!!!

Agree with above, you need to check the squish clearance as this may indicate some of what is going on. Beyond that, it might be wise to pull the head and verify the exhaust height so the duration can be determined. It sure sounds compression related though. Wrong pistons or wrong domes. You also mention having detonation issues. That can happen with very loose squish due to the flame front pretty much exploding, rather than getting a centralized controlled burn. You should NOT be having detonation issues with that setup, and timing can easily go beyond 4*.

Talk about closing one eye... guaranteed the brown eye was closed tight.

I think Elka did the best they could with the linkage and anything better would require modifying the upper shock mount. I also think adding more travel than this will make the silencers start kissing the caliper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't pin this on fireball at all. We're slapping aftermarket parts together from different company's that don't test on each other's part. They're 2 variables here which is the fireball swingarm that's is pretty much bomb proof built and has that extra bracing at tube. The other is the Elka link which relocates the shock closer to the swing arm which that's it's full function. These 2 parts together pretty much closed what ever gap there was between them and cause clearance issues but not either manufactures fault! I had the same issues with my LSR arm but decided to make a solution myself by notching the swing arm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage or disadvantages to running 28mm PWK carbs on the following build (trail bike) Stock bore, stock stroke MX porting (HJR), FMF Fatties, no lid on air box, upgraded cooling system. Carbs are local but wanted to check here first to make sure its worth it. Thanks again Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk

I also prefer keihins over mikunis or lecterns for jetting. And if you still have TORS I'd def pick up a new set as opposed to deleting the TORS from your stockers. You will be replacing them at some point anyone. Everyone always does. Lol! With that in mind, if you're going to go bigger later and the 28s will be too small, might consider getting something bigger now as opposed to buying twice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
