official_style Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 im trying to find out why neither of my bikes will start, im here at pismo beach currently. both have t5s, cfm airboxes with unis, and +4 timing. i have 310 mains, 30 pilots and needles on the 3rd clip. we brought all of the premix from las vegas, could that be the problem? or is it jetting?

If your bikes have been runnin fine till now ,it's probably something simple like plugs or clogged air filter. I would start there. Quote
official_style Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Posted June 19, 2009 bikes were running great till now, starting like first or 2nd kick. i put new plugs in, both are sparking. i have no idea what it is, i thought my jetting was on point for here. Quote
official_style Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Posted June 19, 2009 i made a mistake about the pilots, i forgot i have 27.5s in. think thats it? i have 30s here with me. Quote
VegasJeff Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 i made a mistake about the pilots, i forgot i have 27.5s in. think thats it? i have 30s here with me. Are you getting fuel to the plugs?I'm not a jetting guru,but i think when you left 2100ft from vegas to pismo at sea level, it should be runnin a little leaner. Quote
official_style Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Posted June 19, 2009 yea its getting gas, but not starting. im thinking its not getting enough because its so cold here, and at sea level. im going to put the 30 pilots in, should i go to 320 mains? Quote
Handyman Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 you're pilot is fine....I'd try a fatter a main and see what happens. Quote
bakersfieldturbo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 i have the same problem when i go to pismo .. i can ride my bike perfect when im home but after the trip there it takes me like 10 mins to start it . i just hold the choke and kick it .. and then its good after that .. Quote
AKheathen Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 if you are buying your fuel @ 2100ft, then there is a 50/50 chance that it will be the higher elevation fuel that you need to richen th mains 1-2 sizes over normal sea level jetting. if you are ridding against water, it will richen up a bit. try one kick with the choke, then push the choke back in and blip a little when it fires. adjust the airscrews after it warms up, and it should start normal.

official_style Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Posted June 25, 2009 I got it running, thanks to marine, the carbs were flooded. Pismo was dope, I just got a little bored of the small dunes. I need vf3 reeds now! Quote
