BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 hello, my bike is 04, original top end, comp is 85 & 83, she was starting fine up until yesterday...i rode her in the morning and started fine 2- 3 kicks...later that day i tried to start her and i had to kick her over atleast 25 times!!! my foot feels like its cracking off ahah, anyways everytime i try to start her now i have to kick her over like 25 times or more it seems! once warmed up she will start first kick and she runs excellent...only new things ive done was the tors removal ( i have yet to install the idle screws), re synced the carbs, but that was a few weeks ago and she was running fine...im running way rich on my pilots, and ,my plugs are carbon fouled, but i bought new plugs and she still wont start up..im at sea level....i have been running rich on my pilots for atleast 2 months now if not 3 months..main jets are good though... thanks fmf sst w/powercore2 vf3 amr stage 3 rev box k &n w/no lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stclark816 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Sounds like it's time for a top end. Compression is low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) extremly low lol. Yea def time for a top end. Becareful with that new top end. If your running way "rich" dont wash the cylinder out! you mean don't clean the cylinders when i re do the top end? can u explain? so u think the low comp is why she isn't starting good? i've been running her everyday for about 5 months now with the low comp, only yesterday she started having problems??? oh 1 more thing, she wouldn't even jump start, i rolled her down a steep hill and not a gig...if that adds to the scenario Edited July 3, 2009 by BANSH-alena-jol-EE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian102 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 they dont mean like literally washing it with water and stuff, like to much fuel will damage the cylinder walls *washing them* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
