333bbb333 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I just got the carbs a little more dialed in and things sound ok when the bike is in neutral but when I put the bike in gear and try to go, it seems to bog out a little. The clutch seems to be sticking right off the bat, but will let go after a second or so, but never really lets the bike jump or pull. When i get going and change gears it goes, but it does not have any power, it feels and sounds like it is being held back by something. Do you think this is a clutch problem, or do you think this sounds like it might be a jetting issue. I am dialing in my carbs right now and just switched to 340 mains and 30 pilots with the clip on the 3rd position down from the top out of 6. I am at sea level, 40-50 degrees average with the following mods, Pods Flat slide carbs intake with built in crossover stock reed cages with carbon reeds Toomey T-6 pipes AMR stage 2 CDI Stock bore with fresh crank and top end 2001 just in case it makes a difference. The only other thing I can think of is I damages one of the coils on my stator when taking the bike apart, It is crushed in some but not completely broken off from stator. I was getting spark when tested, but one coil seemed to have slightly less spark, but it was still easy to see. I ordered a new stator from Elecrtro sport industries and it did not work, they said I had to sand the gloss coat off where the ground was because it was keeping it from getting spark, but I tried that and grinding off the areas where it contacted the engine and still no spark so I went back to the damaged stator. Could this be causing the bike to not get enough spark once clutch is engaged, and making the engine have to work harder or something like that. My plugs are not showing much yet, color wise, I have only run it for like 5 -10 min total so no help there, sorry. Sorry about all the different issues but I wanted to give all the facts I could, so you could get a better understanding of whats going on. Oh ya and one more thing I hear a sort of squeal, coming from the engine when the bike is revving down. When I let it idle and rev the bike, it sounds petty good ,other than that squeal when it comes back down to the bottom of the rev range. Dont know if this could mean something to tight in clutch or flywheel and be the cause of the bog?????????????????? Thanks for any help you all can provide, I would not even be this far without you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 well, weaker spark on one side than the other means you should probably replace your plug caps...... i would check the flywheel in case it started coming loose. and track down that squeal to pinpoint where exactly it's coming from......use a piece of hose to your ear..
