What pilots, mains and needles and the position the needles in?

Also need to know all your mods, Temp outside and also your Elevation.

So where is it boggy do you say, right off idle or all the way through the throttle?

Just undo the bowl nut on the bottom of one of the Carbs and pull out the main and pilot and read the numbers stamped into them. Then check the needle in the slide also.

would i just be better off to buy a dynojet jet kit, or have them completly rebuilt with new floats and stuff?

[SAVAGE420]

Well, you can atleast tell me what pipes are on it as well as the air filter setup. Stock filter with lid? K/N with lid or with out, clamp on k/n's (pods)?

 

But quickly pull out the spark plugs and see what they look like. They could be fouled out, i would replace them anyways, there cheap.

 

Ok, do NOT take it to some Clowns to work on it when jetting the carbs will take you 20 mins tops and proly no more then $20 in jets. Or if you want some idiots at a dealer or shop to change your jets for $200 then then there you go. DO NOT get a dyno jet "kit" !!!!!!

 

What do the Carbs say on the side of them. keihin or Mikuni?

 

IMO, this is a jetting issue, very so simple to change them out and yes you CAN do it if you can turn a wrench and a screw driver. You can do that cant you?

 

Anyways we can do the work for free right here for you, all you have to do it turn the tools and ask questions.

 

But you need to tell us what jets are in the carbs first off.

 

 

Here is a link for you to read a couple times. very informative. http://www.dfn.com/benkaren/jetfaq.html

 

Let us know when you know the jet sizes .

the only number that is on the main and pilot is 320?

Are you sure your bike has 30mm carbs on them?

Mybe the T.O.R.S is out of adjustment , Do u know if they been removed? I know they can be a pain in the ass if there not right.

[Overboost]

you dont adjust the tors, you either remove it or deal with it.

 

take off your seat, cut the wires going into the carb tops, splice the 2 wires from each wire into THEMSELVES not the other wire, so each carb still have its own wire, just not connecting to the carb, it has to have a closed circuit, thats it, shrink wrap them up and tors is BYE BYE

 

my tors was acting up on my new bike, wont pull itself, wont rev up, stalling....I did this to bypass, runs like a top...

[shee4speed]

make sure you have the choke tube connecting the carbs together.That could be your prob.
