uman1030 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 More then likely yes, stock is 125-130 so its better then stock compression which would leave me to believe you either have a cool head or a milled head. depending on what domes it has or how much was milled off the head. But for instance if you had 18cc domes and you only had 140 compression then obviously thats low compared to the 197psi it should be with those domes at sea level. Quote
ftball86 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 I think it way too rich, it won't idle, have to keep a little throttle just to keep it running. If I put my hand behind exhaust it turns black from oil, and if I pull the choke it kills it. I will pull carbs tomorrow and figure out what number jets I have installed and let you know.

uman1030 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Are you sure when you mixed fuel at 32:1 it was 4oz oil per gallon? Quote
Strm Trpr Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Do you know if the bike has any mods? You can take a few pics of your bike and post them up. Quote
ftball86 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 I used a ratio rite, filled it up to 32:1 under the 2.5 gallons twice and then filled the can with 5 gallons of 91. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Strm Trpr Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 It does have an aftermarket head and Toomey T5's. What bore is it on? Does it have any portwork done to the cylinders? What do you know about the engine? Quote
uman1030 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 what is the altitude where you bought the bike and what is the altitude of where it is now that you are working on it and riding? if you moved the bike to a considerably higher altitude then that may be the issue and it may need smaller jets then installed. If this is not the case it may still like a/f screws turned out more to achieve a good idle. Its hard to give the exact a/f fuel settings with out being hands on and actually tuning them and listening to the engine.You say it doesn't like to idle? how did it idle before cleaning the carbs? did it ever idle well?

ftball86 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 I swapped the tors and adjusted/synced the slides and it idles no problem Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
uman1030 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 oh cool, slides were reversed. this will cause some issues for sure. Glad yo got it worked out Quote
ftball86 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 Strm Trpr, I don't don't know anything about the engine, the guy I bought it off of said he never rode it so he's selling it. How do u know it has after market head, does it look different than stock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Starwriter Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Definitely an aftermarket head. This is what a stock head looks like. Quote
