Try using an impact driver. No, not an air impact wrench. http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/000723.php I have always had luck with these. :thumbsup:

That top piece is the main jet. The "other" piece is the emulsion tube. That little pin is a stake, to keep the tube in. That emulsion tube needs to stay in there. You don't remove it just to clean the carbs. The only time I have ever heard of removing it is for machining the carb throat. Most guys don't bother with that stuff though. When they want more fuel, they usually buy bigger carbs. :biggrin:

I measured them when I was posting.

BUMP this thing to top !!! Red, you have a PM

They are 5mm x .8. The length of thread (end to head) is 14mm as stated above.

Hey Red, Last night I listed a 26"lcd tv on e-bay. It sold ("Buy it Now") sometime today. I know alot of people don't like e-bay but it helps me out sometimes. Maybe you should list your tv there. :shrug: Just my .02. Not trying to insult you.

Why not a new 700 Raptor w/efi. ? Those things RIP !! It will flat DRILL that 450 hillshooting. :thumbsup:

Looks like a wild ride though.

Go OSU :beer:

Guess no more Alky for you, huh Dave ?

Bansheefreak.... You only getting out of racing ? You gonna still ride that pretty banshee, right ?

Then maybe I'd ride that P.O.S :thumbsup:

Sorry for the book long post ! :shrug:

Sounds to me like it's leaning out !!! Sucking all the gas out of the float bowl. Happens quicker on a hill cuz its using fuel faster to climb. That's why they keep telling you to check the floats. To ensure the bowls are at the proper level before you start to climb. I had that shit happen to me before on Olds. hill at Glamis. I had Just bought the bike, didn't know shit about it. The engine ran hard up the first 2/3 of the hill and then fell off and almost completely stalled out. I would turn it around and in a second or two the throttle response would come back. I thought (my world was ending) there was something majorly wrong with the engine. So....we headed back to camp. I found that I was letting the fuel level get too low in the tank. On the incline there wasn't enough fuel at the petcock. I ran out of gas about 3/4 mile from the hill, the fuel pickups (in the tank) had been removed and I had no reserve. Been back with full tank, no problems. It just sounds like your float bowls are emptying out on you. Check your pickup screens inside the tank (remove the petcock). Make sure the fuel lines aren't blocked or kinked or really close to a pipe or something else really hot. Check the FUEL FILTER. It may be clogged too. In the other post about checking the plugs the guy wasn't talking about doing a plug chop. Just pull the plugs and look to see if they are overly black. They will probably look pretty normal when you pull em though...IMO. Reread the plug chop threads another time or two, they will probably make more sense. You have to do it with brand new plugs and it will tell you if your mixture is off.

Just look at that P.O.S. if it was going 100mph it'd prolly fall apart on ya !! LOL

Those new 450cc fourstrokes are pretty fast. You'll probably need to do a bit more work on the intake side. Engines are basically air pumps, more air/fuel in and out = more power.

The pics look better in photoshop than on ebay. If anyone wants me to send the pics, just pm me your e-mail address and i'll send you what i have.
