hard start and squeaking noise

[gstaten24]

hi all,

 

so i recently moved to a new location 4500 ft higher in elevation. i changed the jets to what i think they should be and it started first kick. however when i gave it a little gas it made a squeaking noise on the right side it sounded like. then the bike died and i couldnt start it again. it has never made this sound before i moved. i first went down 2 sizes and it wouldnt start at all so i changed to one size down. you think it has to do with the carb/jetting or an internal issue?

 

also i forgot to say it only makes the squeaking noise when i give it gas

That's a weird one... I'd take the carbs apart and clean them real good. While you have the carbs off, check your intakes and reeds. Make sure you don't have any little cracks in your intakes, and check that your reeds are closing all the way and aren't cracked. Also change your oil and coolant and make sure you have fresh fluids in there. You might also put a LITTLE bit of 2-stroke oil on your slides in your carbs and make sure they are opening nice and smooth. You might also do a leakdown test and make sure all your seals and gaskets are good.

check your gasket its prob a dry reed making the noise which meens that side is not getting fuel,so open up carbs and redueit

that makes complete sense! haha ill definantly be doing that tommorow if i can, i used carb cleaner on that side. could that cause any problems?

The only trouble will be if you let it sit too long with oput getting pre mix through there to lube it up i have actually seen shit in the cylinders rust from sitting after carb cleaner was used

Whats your jetting and mods? I'm at 5000ft and should be able to get you pretty close.

Just an update, I took the head off and saw sand in there so I took apart the entire engine and the crankcase was almost caked in sand so apparently what happens was the air filter fell off and one of my friends started it not knowing that the filter had sand in it(I put it back on to get back to camp) and it sucked all that sand into the mOtor. Now I'm sending my cylinders to hjr and getting a 4 mil kit. Thanks for all the replies and help!!
