speel211 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 bike won't idle at cold start in any temp weather, idles very low rpm once warm. Feels like i need to screw in the idler screws just a half a turn more would solve the problem. any ideas? 98 shee, stock bottom and top end, stock carbs/tors removed, 290 mains, 30 pilot, idle screws screwed all the way in tight, vf2 reeds, k&n filter, fmf gold pipes with powercore silencers, stock timing. elevation for eastern NM 4266ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbanshee8 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Most people run 27.5 pilots on similar set ups, and you need to open up the air mixture screws. Try them at 1.5-2 turns open, and make sure both are adjusted the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speel211 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 ive tried the 1.5 to 2 turns out on the idle/air mixture screw. When i do this the bike bogs down and dies and wont kick over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Something is definitely not right. Possibly an air leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
