Hey guys I just picked up an 06 SE with Trinity Stage 4 pipes and Pro flow filter setup, and no lid on it. I noticed that when starting it for the first 20 seconds or so you have to give it slight throttle on idle to keep it going when choke is on. Once engine is warm it idles fine. TORS are still on it, and if possible I want to keep this machine as close to stock as possible. I noticed the intake was nasty dirty so I took it out cleaned it up, filters and boots were dirty. Carb had some slight gunk build up in it. Is this cold idle normal to have to give a tiny bit of throttle so it will idle? I was told engine is 100% stock, which is a big reason why I bought it. I am planning to check compression today to get a feel for motor condition. Once motor is warm it runs good, only thing is I thought it should have more top end but it seems to fall out on 5th and 6th gear...I am wondering if the jetting could be off.
So my question:
-Should a cold stock engine with Trin 4 pipes and stock carbs need a tiny bit of throttle input when cold to keep idling?
-How hard should top end pull with the correct jetting, stock motor, carbs, with these pipes? This is my first banshee, and first one I have ever read but I thought it would pull harder.
Thanks
