AKheathen Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 did you do a leakdown? are you running stock timing? check the pickup on the flywheel. what fuel are you running? grey indicates detonation, or lead deposits Quote

AKheathen Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 what jets and airfilter setup are you running? your temp/elevation? what octane is premium at the pump? stock reeds? Quote
sillybigballs Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Posted May 10, 2009 what jets and airfilter setup are you running? your temp/elevation? what octane is premium at the pump? stock reeds? i am running a after market foam filter... cleaned it to see if would make a difference..it did not...., v force 3 reeds,premium here is 92-93 octane i am basically at sea level i live 10 min from the beach here in massachuettes...i ran 165 mains up to 180's tried 48 - 52 pilots tried playing w/air fuel mixture...plug always seems to look the same a grayish color Quote
AKheathen Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 you should be running premium. only 50 cents more per tank. your reeds, and pipes are pretty much fighting each-other. not saying, that you can't make it work, but the reeds are a little stiff for good low end flow, and your pipes are mid-lows. and the carb size doesn't help the low end. maybey snoop, or someone else with alot of experience on 30's can help get you tunned close, and pick the right needles/jets. do you have the lid/snorkel installed?

AKheathen Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 stockkers will help get you tuned, and work ok on top too, but dual stage reeds will compliment your setup best. i usually see people trade between the 2 types regularly, but a rage cage or chariot cage would be the closest in value to vf3's. if you have the stockers, though, i would give them a shot, or even find some dual stage pedals for 40-60. and as stated, switch to premium. don't forget to retorque the head.
