LEshee04 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 So i got a sweet deal fmf fatty gold series with power core 2 silencers. The guy i bought them from said he ran stock jetting with no problems. I have jus the pipes, stock carbs, stock foam filter with outerwear stock box with lid and snorkel. Elevation roughly 1200 above, temps about 40-80. From what i have gathered i feel a good starting point is 27.5 pilots and 290 mains. I kno someone will say search and i have i didnt find anyone with my elevation and as stock as I am! Well thanks guys in advance Quote

How long has it been sitting and are you running the old gas from when you parked it? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 So did you run it with stock jets? How long? X-2 on carb clean and fuel. Other than unported 4mil and lower elevation I'm starting in 300-320 range with same pipes when I put them on. Quote

LEshee04 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Posted April 8, 2011 240 main everyone has been sayin at least a 280 Quote
sleeper06 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 240 main everyone has been sayin at least a 280 280 with no lid,i have tons of experiance with these pipes,try my set up,if your plug caps ohm out rite and your carbs are clean it will chop perfect,280s with the lid your missing out on power Quote
LEshee04 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Posted April 9, 2011 Now I got the good ole one cylinder firing problem... FML. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 Wouldn't neccessarily trust what he said. Look to see what jets you have in now, write it down for reference. How do your plugs look after your little ride? Quote
LEshee04 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Posted April 9, 2011 Well after a frustrating day of diagnosing problems that didnt exist i overlooked the simplest of them all! I had a dead plug on the right cylinder. I took carbs out which had stock 200 mains in. I replaced with 220's kept the pilot @ 25 i synced carbs and adjusted the floats on right carb cuz one was bent down. Rode for about 45 minutes idles great revs smooth low-hi, and hits powerband great!!! Plugs look good to me. I jus found some 240 mains in my tool box i may end up slappin in. I need to rid myself of the damn TORS, makes jetting take 3x longer then it should Quote
chevybanshee91 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 i believe stock setting.. those carbs come with 220 from factory.. and with pipes i think your 240's would be perfect. give it a shot and let us know Quote
LEshee04 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Posted April 9, 2011 They vary by dealer im told, mine had 200's from stock i know nothing on the bike was ever touched before. I might try the 240's tmrw but i got the shits of takin the carbs off. With the problems i been havin i had the rights side carb off prolly 6 times today Quote
