rtcc Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 ok, so today was my first real day of riding since I put the 28 pwk's on and it went pretty well. I was definitely running a little bit rich on the main side cause it was breaking up some up top. When I did my last plug chop it was around 45 out but it reached up to about 70 today. The pilots are a little fat too, but it is still somewhat snappy off idle. It still ran great all day and I was doing some very technical and slow tight trails. My only problem really was when I would go back to camp and the bike would sit for 20 or 30 minutes. When I would go to start it the right side plug would always foul instantly. I started it like normal WITHOUT the choke and it would only run on the left side. When I pull the right plug it is completely soaked, like not a chance it is running. I would throw another plug in and it would run fine. What causes this? Is it a float adjustment? I havent had a chance to take the bowls off and look in there but I dont know what could have changed? thanks guys for any info cause I am new to these carbs!!!! Terry Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 The float could be out of adjustment, the needle, and seat above the float could be worn, and not sealing completely off, allowing the bowl to overfill, and/or your plug boot may be going bad. Also, check the gap between the pick-up coil, and flywheel. I can't remember what the gap is supposed to be, but some have said a match book cover works great to set the gap. Quote
rtcc Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Posted January 4, 2009 yeah I thought it might be the the floats but wasnt sure. I dont understand why it would do it right on startup??? I am positive the pickup gap is right cause I just did all that not too long ago and it has been running great. I have new plug caps on too, something I could check though. thanks for the help! Quote
