Rotten-UK Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) I took my carbs apart to clean them and noticed the slides wer the wrong way round so i put them the right way round, put everything back together and kicked it over... Niiiiiiii It just revs full out & i shit myself and turn it off. My mate says "youve got cleaner in the carbs, turn the tap off and let it run dry" so i do, it runs dry and i kick it over again... does same thing but dies down, if i touch the throttle now it revs to high heaven. So i look over the carbs make sure everything is ok and iv managed to trap a pipe in the air filter clamp... (the water pipe i think) so i free the pipe and try again, its not reving as much as before and dies right down but as soon as i touch the throttle it revs right up again. It would rev up if i pulled the choke out a notch too so i messed with the air screws and managed to get it ideling okish then tried the throttle... it reved right up and wasnt coming back down! I hit one kill switch... it kept going! i hit another... and it still kept going! I yanked off both spark plugs! AND IT STILL KEPT GOING! By now im thinking wtf shall i run for cover or i dunno! I turned the petrol off whacked the throttle back and it bogged out wwith alotta smoke coming from the rad. Im too scared to try anything else lol i thought it was gonna blow, anyone have any ideas whats wrong? The slides have always been the wrong way round from when i brought it so maybe the guy that had it before had adjusted the throttle and maybe jets for them like it and thats why?

slag_350300 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 check the tops of your carbs where the throttle cable seats in carb caps. I accidentally pulled the cable out and it was caught up when I was jetting the carb and it did the same thing, revved to the moon. Quote

Cheers for replying mate, I just checked and nope the throttle cable wasnt caught up just set up with the slides in the wrong carbs. So when i put them right the slides were opened up... shoulda thought of that in the 1st place really d'oh! Its running so much smoother now and quieter I wonder how long the slides have been mixed up for. The guy said it didnt idle when i brought it, it idles a dream now with the slides in the right carbs... I cant wait to see what it rides like in the morning I dunno who posted the thread about jetting, slides ect but thanks my mates slides were mixed up too and we wouldnt of ever noticed had i not read the thread on here Quote
Rotten-UK Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Posted August 29, 2011 Argh... no more boging but now it feels like it has less pull/power & speed in the uper gears almost like theres no power band... I'll start with taking the air box out and putting some pod filters on as a screw in the manifold is hitting the exhuast pipe. I'll get the pipe welded after thats done coz the screws made a little hole and then start on the jetting. I have paul turner mids, no air box with pod filters and the rest is stock. Where would be a good starting point with the jets? I did read somewhere a guy had the same pipes with stock exhausts but i cant find it now, i think he was recomended a 280 main jet with stock pilot (what size is stock pilot?) & 4th clip? Quote
