empathy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 The right hand side of the quad isn't going into the powerband although it is running. The left goes up and takes off on that side and goes into the powerband but on the right side you can hear it tingling and wanting to but it doesn't go into it properly. I checked the reeds and they looked fine although I have ordered some new ones. Anyone know what could be causing this? Quote
chevybanshee91 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 check the carbs/ clean them and adj slides properly swap coil wires around and see if the other side does it then ur coil wire is bad.. and just double check n see if you have a fouled plug! Quote

Ok I'll try all that, how do I adjust the carb slides with the TORS unit still on? Quote

Hey bro let me know what it was im having the same issue with my shee! I cant figure it out so if anybody has had this simular problem i would like to here from you!! My problem is on the left side though! Quote
LONGROD Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 I have had this happen on both my she's. One had main jet clogged.one was just time for a rebuild Quote
empathy Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Im going to check the coils tomorrow and and change the plugs. I'll clean carbs if everything is the same after the first test. Yeah my bike is almost definitely in need of a rebuild. Think ill get the rebuild, new reeds and get it serviced in general before summeer. Edited March 1, 2011 by empathy Quote
06specialedition Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 First thing I would do is check the carb sync. Make sure both slides are opening up and the same time Quote
empathy Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 Just checked that and one of them is pulling up a little bit before the other. How do I adjust it with the tors unit still on? Would that be enough to make it have not come into the band? Quote
empathy Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 Just changed the plug and its going into the band alot better but still hesitant at points, any help guys? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 It should explain in the Clymers manual how to adjust. Make sure you take the jets and everything else apart when you clean carbs. Blow them out before reassembly. Quote
empathy Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 I was out on it again today to retest and its worse than it was last night now..I noticed on the exhaust of the side thats not working properly has wet oil round the hole and on the side thats working normal has the normal carbony stuff inside it.

malcman Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 I was out on it again today to retest and its worse than it was last night now..I noticed on the exhaust of the side thats not working properly has wet oil round the hole and on the side thats working normal has the normal carbony stuff inside it. Have you swapped coils? if its got a lot of fuel in the exhaust on that side I would lean towards bad spark? Quote
ziegman Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 make sure the slides are not in backwards Quote
empathy Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Posted March 4, 2011 Switched them around and seemed to go into the powerband alot better on BOTH sides??...... confused? I'm thinking of getting the carbs cleaned out, the reeds replaced and the coiols along with getting the carb slides adjusted? Quote
empathy Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Posted March 4, 2011 Running worse than ever today.. The side thats running has a whiter smoke coming out of the exhaust, checked the plugs, the one thats running good has a dry plug, the one thats not is wet and oily. Quote
