HangingTough Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Hey Guys,- I am having a problem and tried solving it myself but not sure what else to do. Recently (3 weeks ago) rebuilt top end. I am having a helllll of a time hitting getting the powerband now. Seems a little boggey than before. But to even get the powerband I have to hold the throttle and half for 5-10 seconds and wait for it to kick in. A hell of a lot different than before. Need some help. Not sure if jetting is right either, maybe problem. I have the trinity 2-1 intake with 172 main, 48 pilot and 3 notch on needle. Trininty told me to change my plugs from BR9ES to 8ES and that might help to. Please let me know what you guys think Quote
KRMit Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Changing the needle clip position only takes a couple minutes with the Trinity setup. Try raising the needle one clip and see what happens. If that doesn't help, lower it back down one notch lower than it was. Quote
dlnoss Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 What all did you do when you did the top end? Pistons and rings, port, deck head, etc.? Have you checked the compression? Quote
sredish Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) Trininty told me to change my plugs from BR9ES to 8ES and that might help to. If your not running a BR8ES, then definitely go back to the BR8's, there is no reason to be running a colder plug and that cold be affecting your performance. A colder plug will have the effect of running a little richer, because it's not getting hot enough to burn the way it should. After you change back, try running it and see how shee does, if the problem is the same, below is my thoughts on what to do next. I am having a helllll of a time hitting getting the powerband now.

HangingTough Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Posted June 23, 2004 Thanks guys, Yeah I will put BR8s in it and see what it does next. And let you guys know. ANd yes to answer your question and WOT it does get boggy especialy in 6th gear it doesn't want to do anything so I half to back it down to half throttle. Well I will take what you said and apply it as best as I can and let you know Quote
HangingTough Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Posted June 23, 2004 Thanks for the Help I will see what happens with the plug change and let you guys know. Yes I boggs down at WOT and so I half to back it down to half to get anything out of it Starts to piss me off after awhile Quote

Dark Ranger Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I agree. It definately sounds like the main. Mine did that and I had to go down from a 190 to a 180. Now it runs great! Quote
HangingTough Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 Thanks for the help guys, I will see what happens when I swith to the BR8's Quote
FadedDreams Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 You are rich for sure,thats what mine was doing when i was messing with my jetting.A quick way to see if that is it,take off your airbox lid to see if it runs better.Thats what got me going in the right direction. Quote
