92 Z71 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 When I start my bike cold I don't need to use the choke, I should have to right? Also after it's warmed up it wants to die when idleing and when it does die I have to use the throttle to get it started again. Does it sound like a jetting issue or just carb adjustment? Quote
dajogejr Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Possibly both. How far out are your air screws turned out? You might just have to lean them out 1/2 to 1 turn... Quote
Paddleboy Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 you may have too fat of a pilot. what is your jetting Quote
dajogejr Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Possible, but if he can adjust his air screws from .5 to 2.5 turns out and clean it up...no need to go to a smaller pilot. Quote
92 Z71 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Posted November 7, 2008 Which is the air screw? If it's the idle screw, I've messed with that and had no results. I don't know what the jetting is at now, I bought it like this and haven't messed with it much. Quote
92 Z71 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Is there an easy way to check what the jetting is at? If not could someone tell me how to and what to look for? I'm a jet engine mechanic by trade so I do have a mechanical background but this is all foreign to me. Edited November 7, 2008 by 92 Z71 Quote
