dunerunr Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 running bad mid range, using more gas, plug on right side seems to be wet and pretty oily (which means not firing properly) . Just put new top end but this was doing this before TE replacement? Swithched plug wires, not much change. Have 6-10 hrs on rebuild. Didn't change any carb stuff, besides cleaning bowls. Needle and seats have slight groove but this shouldn't be mid range problem, I believe. Any thoughts from some that have run into this problem? Quote

BUILDER Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Running bad mid range will not be fixed by a new topend. If it is bad in the mid then you have a jetting issue or a carb issue. Did it just start doiing this and then you decided to do a new topend? Quote

Any thoughts from some that have run into this problem? ran great for a long time (8yrs), last summer mid range problem just started for no reason. wasn't adjusting anything. took comp check and right side was about 78-80 so thought it was time for it's first top end (1999). Now I still have a problem on right side carb, settings, who knows !! I have took bowl and cleaned jets and that has helped in overall but something is still not correct? haven't did compression test but it runs strong after around 2500 I believe. Quote
