is the cross over tube connected inbetween the 2 carbs?

[Crbanshee1279]

Yea I checked that took it off and made sure it was clear also checked the reeds for any cracks or anything like that

You're sucking air from some where, most likely - intake boots,alum cross over pipe, or reed gasket.

whats your compression?

[Crbanshee1279]

Idk compression just picked it up last night. I just had my brother push me and it fired right up ride it for about 5 min it was idling and running fine with choke out then pushed choked in and reved up high so I shut it down and then it fired up with one kick but was iding high so I shut it down idk I'm stumped all the T.O.R.S stuff is unplugged I think

If it starts to rev itself up or idle really high it is because you are either running extremely lean. Either you have an air leak or you have some seriously off jetting. Either way STOP running your bike before you blow it up.

[Crbanshee1279]

Yea I'm looking for a set of new carbs with Tors removed that's the only thing I can think of

[fastbanshee8]

New carbs will not help your problems, if it's just the jetting that's causing the problems. Give us your mods, elevation, temps, and current jetting, so we can help.

GET A SERVICE MANUAL!! Tell us the mods done to the bike so we can help you. Check your compression, do a leakdown test, get the jetting in the ballpark. You do not need new carbs, just get some jets.

As far as compression testing goes, go to your local auto store buy a compression tester, unscrew both plugs hook it up, kick it with the throttle wfo until the needle stops climbing, repeat for other cylinder

 

Also buy a clymers manual

Yea actually warren mi but I everyone knows the D. Well I got home and fooled around with the bike today kicked a few times no luck pushed it and popped the clutch fired right up had to have the choke out the hole time the it seemed to idle decent as soon soon as I let the choke in it revs high so I kill it then I kick it once and fires right up but revs high idk I'm clueless
