Banchetta Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Starting problem...are you using the choke w/ no throttle?? If so, then did you make sure you didn't swap the carb bowls? Is your idle too low after its warm? The small crack will affect low end performance and will get bigger if you don't fix it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheebroke Posted April 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 oops... with or with out choke it does it. iv tried not giving it gas and giving it gas fires up and dies . when its warmed up it seems to start first kick ( sometimes) once i do get it started and just keep bliping the gas it will take off and then run its weird . i guess it could be losing fire too huh? im just gonna keep tinkering with it and hope it comes too . ya i also checked the carb bowls i got um right . ill do a plug chop and post the pics that will be next weekend . thanks again banchetta. jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 But you shouldn't ever give it gas when starting cold. It should start up w/ no throttle and just choke...even if it takes a few kicks, it should still start right up...once it starts, I play w/ the choke. I'll shut it off, if my shee tends to want to stall, then I give it a little choke for a second or two and it'll rev back up...either your choke isn't working or you have plug pilots or shit in the carb bowls....

nate1999mxz600 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 try turning your pilot air screw in,i have mine 1/2 turn out.when i had my airscrew out 1 1/2 it ran too lean causing it to die after i started it up. give it a try and see what happens.oh and i have the same setup as you and i run stock pilots,needle middle position and 320 mains and runs pretty strong.
