mhoksch Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 I just did my first ever plug chop. When I did it, the bike felt like it was bogging down at high RPM's, had no power. Mods are: 4 mill cool head FMF fatties 2-1 intake w/ 38mm pwk 6" pod w/ outerwear Boyseen reeds stock cages I don't even know if I'm too rich or lean, this is my first attempt at jetting. Quote
mhoksch Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 Elevation is 819, 50 degrees out. It wasn't cutting out, just no power in the top end. No clue what the jets are, I wanted to see which way I need to go with them before opening it up to look and ordering new ones. (don't really know what I'm doing...) And i did the 1-6 wot then killed it, but i didn't hold the throttle open after i killed it, I guess I'll try again next week when I have time. Quote
mhoksch Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 ok, took it apart. It's clean, main jet looks like it says AB162, Pilot is 60 Quote
RadarRacing Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 That plug looks wierd. The band or ring is usually smaller. It may be very rich and washing the plug and not even getting enough heat to burn some fuel mix onto the porcelain. If you are getting huge amounts of smoke when its revved out in a high gear then it would probably be very rich. Maybe have someone watch the bike when you do your chop. You might need to do it again and make 4 or 5 passes on it once you ensure its safe. Quote
mhoksch Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 I'd go with the really rich option. I put it in, rode about 1/4 mile, turned around and did 1-6 wot back to the shop Quote
mhoksch Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 Ok, so would you still say its rich? Or should I get some more plugs and start over again? Quote
Finch Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 start over im not saying mines good but should be getting something close to this http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd473/mikefi01shee/IMG_20120211_192232.jpg Quote
S10RACER Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 Good pic I will be doing this soon since I'm getting new Carbs and oof pipes Quote
Finch Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 ya ive been told that its close but starting all over again with changes in setup. Quote
EvilBanshee Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 By the looks of it that plug has a few hours on it. YOur color is good, light light tan. I would say your jetting is darn close. Throw a fresh set of plugs in, and do a true WOT test. The ring should be very thin at the base. Quote
mhoksch Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 I gave up. I'm getting all the overtime I want at work right now. So instead of coming home to work on my banshee, I had a friend take it to a local shop to get jetted so I could stay at work and keep making $ Quote
Finch Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Just so know make sure ya had a good show. The show here they just drive it around the parking lot and juat look at the plug. Never even doing a wot run Quote
