Newcs222 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 30 pilot jet, 280 main jet, carbs synced, air adjust screw out 1 turn. When I start my shee cold it won't let me give any throttle.(choke out) Soon as I give it throttle it bogs but doesn't die unless I hold the throttle. Turn the choke off and it still bogs. After about 20 seconds it slowly allows me to give it throttle. Once warm I have no issues starting it. Throttle response is good. Plugs are brown. Should I be concerned? I've also noticed that if I leave it for 15 min and then try and start it I have to use the choke. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
Finch Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 should let it warm up before rippin on it. plus 30 pilot is pretty big for stock carbs IMO Quote
Larry's Shee Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 Blipping throttle is ok during warm-up, but cyl should be warm to touch before WFO Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 what mods do you have? what elevation? what air temp? Air screw 1 turn from full tight indicates almost needing a larger pilot. Quote
Newcs222 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Posted April 11, 2014 K&N filter with no lid, Fmf full exhaust, Coolhead, boysen reeds, stock bore, stock port, stock carbs. 30 is probably as big as I want. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
J-Madd Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 Check for air leak. Sounds like lean on the pilot but it can't be with a 30. Quote
Newcs222 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 Air leak where? Guess it's leak down time Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
Strm Trpr Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Look at the intakes for cracks and both sides of the reeds for leaks. Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 For a quick check, grab a spray bottle off soapy water, fire the bike up and spray really close ALL over the carbs, intakes, boots, head, cyls ect etc while looking close for bubbles bubbling. Quote
Newcs222 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 Why would I spray water at a possible air intake? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 If you see it bubble, there is your leak. It's a quick and easy way to check in a few seconds. If an air leak is your problem in the first place... Sent from my shed. Quote

Newcs222 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 Spraying soapy water is for a leak down test. If I start spraying water on a running motor I run the risk of sucking water in the motor at the intake boot. Not good Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 If you've got a hole big enough to suck in enough water to cause problems, then you got big problems. Quote
