i didnt touch the needle at all today but turned the air screw out another full turn (3 turns total) and the bike ran much better. ordering pilots tomorr

i would make sure before you hand the money over

ive ran bear claws, holeshots, and realtors all in 22", no problems

your best bet would be try try a raptor out and see for your self.

a 450 frame would be best i think, ive seen rappy frames break, dont know if its a common flaw or not.

imo if you were do all the work and pay out for some fab, theres better rollers you could use. i might of missed it while reading but are you going to be keeping the rappy?

im gonna raise my needle up a notch today and see if it helps, i can also turn my air screws out another full turn for now until i get some smaller pilots.

dirty air filter??

usually around 25-30 degrees cel. tryed getting my elevation from google earth and got 80ft, not sure if thats right. the 160 main feels good up top. sizing pilot jets is pretty new to me and 52 is the smallest i have now, ill have to play with my air screws and see if theres any difference, im at 2 turns out now. let me know how you make out, seems odd that were both getting hesitation with the diff size pilots. have you tried moving your needle clip?

awsome good to know. i was going to play with the needles tomorrow but if my pilots are that far off than ill have to order them first.

ok right on thanks, i didnt know the pilots effected performance higher than 1/8 throttle or so

and forgot to mention air screws are 2 turns out.

52 pilots, there def too fat but the bike will idle with the idle screws turned all the way in.

ya each side of the seal look completely different so make sure you install them right

hey guys just gettin my cub dialed in and was looking for some opinions, 35mm carbs with 160 mains and clip in middle of needle. im getting a strong hesitation right before the powerband. is this something that can be fixed by adjusting needle height??? if i rev it past the hesitation it hauls ass all the way to the end of the gear.

got mine wide open now! it was the white retainer piece not set into its groove. thanks everyone for the help

interesting. i guess theres alot more to gettin these slides up than i thought, i'll have to go out to the shop and take a look at that

ya i hear ya, i have not been running the bike this way because i need to get this figured out first, thanks for the input

the springs are def binding up in mine i can feel it, its odd yours still wont go with the fast springs

mine are not getting fully opened either.. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

haha i was waiting too lol maybe ill get of pic of mine so we can compare

ya put a dab of sealer on them so coolant dont leak out of them

thats right, def gonna be one of my next upgrades

x2, dont try to pry them out and beat the new ones in, you will wreck them

runnin a pretty new oem now but i would like the extra power for lights, ill wait for some feedback on here first
