back to my running issues

[colinwoods84]

So i had a thread going about loosing power. I really dont know much about carbs but in the last few days reading some stuff and pullin my barbs apart im starting to learn a few more things. So i do avionics maintenance in the navy and all we ever do to find out if anything is wrong is swap parts. So what I did, i swapped the carb position around. Now I dont know if this was a bad thing but my gripe followed. the left side or choke side was the side that was running shitty. I put it to the left and the same shit-tuation. The bike starts and and will run for a a few min but thats about it. When you gas it it just seems like the good carb is responding so much better. The only sync I did was was by my eyes but I would imagine that im kinda close. Close enough I feel that It should run a little better. Like I said I dont know much but im gonna guess here and think that it is the main jet that is my problem here. I did remove the jets and clean them out and do what ever it was that I could do and nothing. So what will a carb or jet kit do for me? I was told to do that. I figure my shit is clean and looks ok I guess. I mean it looks the same as the other carb. I am just trying to figure out my next move. On top of things and I dont know if this matters but the choke slide does not stick or lock into position like my yzf250 does. Not really sure if its supposed to. The choke does not start the bike in fact if its running and i pull the choke on it kills the bike. Dont know if that has anything to do with it. Any help??

theres a lil hose that hooks your carb togather . make sure it there and hooked up

Did you clean your pilot jets out?

ok, that was kinda confusing. did you say that the problem is in the left cylinder, and it moved to the right cylinder when you swapped the carbs? or visa-versa? is your choke tube installed correctly? what did you do about it when you moved the carbs?

yeah I swapped the carbs and did not hook up the choke tube. The same failure in power switched from one cylinder to the next. So I think that I am just going to get all new jets and what not I just dont know what I need. Any help would be good with that. Im in Norfolk VA so pretty low elevation around here. Let me know What size all this needs to be and what is the best.
