winemaker Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 One pipe runs 40 degrees hotter than the other pipe at start up. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong. Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Many many variables, whats your compression? Mods? Carbs in Sync?This has been done over and over again. Use the search button. If you cant find it there someone will give you a hand, no doubt. Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Need more info which side is hotter. try cleaning your carbs Quote
winemaker Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Posted October 25, 2004 You guys were right!!! I had a clogged pilot jet. Now my carbs are in synch and everything sounds and feels great. Now a new question. The idle screws on the TORS system... Do they need to be exactly identical out from all the way in? Thanks in advance... Quote
hamuel Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 yes. and on warm up and cool down one side in general is cooler then the other. because of of the tranny. the oil in the tranny lubes/cools the crank on the right side. it may only be 5-10 degreee difference but it will take longer for that side to get warm.

I believe if your carbs are in sync they need to be, they are setting the height of the slides and you want those to be the same. Quote

You are completely correct. After hitting the pipes with a heat gun, the left pipe is 9 degrees hotter than the right. But with the idle dials, is there some sort of standard to go by if I was setting those dials up. Can I go all the way in and then come back out a specific amount of turns? Also, the air pilot screw..... I have never played with this. Should this stay at 2 turns out from seated? Quote

winemaker Posted October 26, 2004 Author Report Posted October 26, 2004 You are talking about the air screws??? What about the idle dials? Quote
hamuel Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 On both idle and air screw you should seat them. both idle screws should be exactly the same out from seated. same with air screws. Quote
