Bog at idle

[lodown]

This is a great site and i have learned alot here and this is my first post.

I have a problem at low rpm's. I have 97 shee with fmf gold pipes and power core 2 silencers,tors removed, stock mottor and carbs. I am riding at sea level and i have 25 pilots and 280 mains. when i give some gas to go it bogs and alot of smoke comes out the pipes, the left hand pipe smoke more. when taking off in first gear it sound funny and is jerky untile i can the rpms up then it snaps out of it and rips. Once i get the rpms up it will hit power band nice threw all gears but 6th. I can't hit power band in 6th for some reason. I have the pilot srews turned out about 3 1/2 turns to get it to idle good but will not come off an idle snappy. If the srews are turned in more than that i wont even barely get out of first gear. There is no way i could take off in 2nd gear on the sand. I moved the needle clip to the second clip from the blunt end and it helped the mid rpm range alot you can realy feel the power band hit better. I seen some gas leaking out the tubes on the float bowls so i thought the floats were set to high. I checked them and they were sitting level. I bent the tab a little to lower the floats some. My left hand carb quit leakin but the right still drips. Could the float needls be shoot and be filling my carbs with to much fuel. Would this make my low end power really rich. Thanks for any advice

mine always drips...like a f-in harley.....get use to it..... long as its not a constant flow...

 

Sounds very rich for some reason. Pull the air cleaner off and see how it runs...make sure the choke is not on or broken! The felling is a studder..... studders when getting on the gas.....ddda dda ddda daaaaaaaaa

you're right on the money. tripple check your float adjustment, then replace the float needles. it's best to do both, because they usually go out pretty close to eachother, like headlights.

Thanks i will give that a try. were is a good place to get a rebuild kit for this? All the ones i see will come with smaller jets that i wont use.

float/needle problems will make you rich, untill you start using enough fuel to bring the level back down.
