racerzippy Posted July 31, 2010 Report Posted July 31, 2010 I've got a 2000 shee with t-5's, tors removed,cool head with 20cc domes, stock pilot jet, 290 main and middle setting on needle. This bike has always run flawless until i went to fire it up after about 10 months in storage. Now it doesn't want to fire all the time on left hole unless you are on the throttle. Compression is fine and i just cleaned the carbs to make sure there is no crap in them. Also rolled in a new set of plugs and it has strong spark. It is also now having an issue with idling and it never did before.The only issue it has ever had was starting a little hard when cold. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanx,Racerzippy Quote

racerzippy Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Posted July 31, 2010 make sure the choke tube is hooked up Choke tube is hooked up and can't find any air leaks Quote
Sandking Posted July 31, 2010 Report Posted July 31, 2010 Clean the carbs again and specifically the pilot and main jets Quote
matt1 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Posted July 31, 2010 Make sure you put the slides in correctly, its pretty easy to mess that up. I've cleaned my carbs and fixed one problem and then caused another by not assembling them correctly. Quote
racerzippy Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Posted August 1, 2010 Is the gas ten months old? Found the problem... Had a cracked reed on the middle of v-force cages. Changed it and voila everything is fine. Thanx for all the ideas. Quote
