RKJLOW Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 well, i pulled my carbs to rejet for a riding trip coming up but them all back together idling nicely got the carbs synced up at idle, was trying hold the throttle at 1/4 to sync the slides up next thing i know the damn thing is SCREAMING when i put the tool up to the carb... Hit the kill switch notta. hit the master notta so i panic and choke it out with my hands.... So the only thing i can think of is a air leak. Did a leakdown today (this was friday) it failed the first one but passed the second and third so i think i just had a leak on the connection to the pump i was using, squirt bottle showed no leaks around the manifold. the slides where not hung up when this happened... Yes the slides are in right (cutout to airbox) no they where not hung up both click down nicely and and it was idling just beautifully before, things i changed are i used new hose-clamps on the intake boots, re-jetted the main turned out the air-screws a extra half turn im STUMPED. did notice some weather cracking when i was inspecting the boots ( pushed on it slightly some weather cracking shows) will be ordering new intakes before i start it again just as a precaution im just not sure why it still is holding 6psi for at least 14 min Any ideas?

trickedcarbine Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 If it still passes a leak down, it's a fuel issue. Check floats, needle & seat , petcock, fuel line, carb tops, etc. Also check stupid stuff like throttle cable ends not seating properly.

RKJLOW Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Prior to this just put 3 gallons of gas in her, pulled the bowls everything looks operational IE floats move near as i can tell and are adjusted into spec. another thing i remember changing is i replaced the choke line between the carbs however it wasnt as tight as the previous line that was on there.... maybe thats a issue? i did some reading it just seems like if thats missing it makes it run like crap except up top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a twist throttle hopefully if the guy pulls through i will trade a thumber for my twist then ill be sure to go over that extra good when i get it back together does anybody know where to get those rubber washers that sit in the carb tops?

Larry's Shee Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sudco, Carb Parts Warehouse, maybe Jets are Us. Another way to kill a runaway is put in gear, hold brake, dump clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 the first time I ever had a run away was a blaster. I was messing with the carb fucker was idling fine then took off. kill switch did nothing. I ripped the carb out of the intake because I didn't know what to do. good times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I just want to know, did you shit yourself when kill switch didn't work for you?Lol I think everyone does just a bit the first time that happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just as a reminder. The easy thing to do is HOLD the brake, put bike in gear, let out clutch. The bike makes very little hp/tq when it's on a lean run away so it takes very little drag on the motor to get it to come down and/or kill it.
