Power problems...

[acfine]

Hello All,

 

Before:

FMF Fatty Exhaust w/ CoreII silencers

K&N Filter

K&N PowerLid

260 Mains

25 Pilot

Needle 3rd Clip

 

 

After:

NOSS Coolhead w/ 21cc Domes - Added

FMF Fatty Exhaust w/ CoreII silencers

K&N Filter

K&N PowerLid

Boyesen Carbon Fiber Dual Stage Reeds - Added

300 Mains - Added

25 Pilot

Needle 3rd Clip

 

And also changed from a twist throttle to thumb throttle and put new throttle cable in.

 

Before the mods, it ran like a bat out of hell, now I have no low end. Should I start with changing to the fourth clip on the needle, or going to 27.5 pilot jets.

 

Also, since the new head and domes, just above idle, it has a distinct "new" popping noise, and doesn't feel as strong in the power band.

 

And one more thing, it smokes like a freight train. I run 50:1 ratio...

 

Any thoughts or advice are much appreciated,

Anthony

I just pulled the plugs, and the left side, where the choke is, that spark plug is wet and oily, and that pipe has a ton of oil coming out of it, the other side, the plug was dry, and not as much oil coming from that pipe. What does that tell me?

 

Thanks,

Anthony

i just swapped the plugs, and the thing screams again! But the side of the motor the choke is on, pops, but only that side. What does that mean?

 

Thanks,

Anthony

did you sync the carbs when you put the new throttle cable on?

Choke balance tube on? Torn intake boot on the right side?

It's weird, I was out Satyrday riding, and it'd definately an elecrical problem. While accelerating, it would go in and out of full power intermentently. Could the TORS have something to do with this? Sometimes at startup, if I try and rev it, it acts like the parking brake is set, just bogs badly, and then I just wiggle the wires going into the clutch perch, and it starts reving like normal.

 

Thanks

Dont you think you answered your own question with this comment?

 

You have to fix known issues before you can diagnose a problem that may be associated with what your worried about.

Remove the TORS, then clean the carbs.
