NEVER SATISFIED Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 ok so i fire the she up and she runs.. but my right side cylinder doesnt blow out the exhaust like the left side unless i give it some rev's up then at higher rpm it will fire.. i think it runs better at that higher rev since i am making the spark fire more often.. anyways, she runs fine around the track and has lil bog at the low end then screams and i have to hold on... she doesnt backfire or anything to that nature... i've played with the air screws the idle screw. could this be a air leak.. i just installed a vforce 3 and didnt put sealant around the gasket and thought i didnt need it since there was none really on the stock cages... but now im am thinkin there is a ir leak possibly...

My quad was doing the same thing and a few days later while riding it, it just died. Turns out my spark plug had vibrated loose causing a lean condition which made my piston on that side disengrate.

Mr.Giggles Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Did you put the tube back inbetween the carbs(choke tube) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune_girl Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I know im just a girl and dont know anything BUT.....just a thought I think the reason your piston was screwed up was from detonation...which a lot of the time is caused from running too low of octane fuel, too much timing advance, a poorly shaped combustion chamber, an air leak, and possibly over heating the motor but hey.....im just a girl....so PLEASE correct me if im wrong guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEVER SATISFIED Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Did you put the tube back inbetween the carbs(choke tube) 357097[/snapback] yeah i checked that tube and its there... i'll put a new one on incase its cracked Sounds like your carbs are out of sync, or you have a little dirt in one of your pilot jets....or yes a possible air leak 357260[/snapback] carbs are in sync... just put in fresh new pilots, but will check for specks of dirt (i need to get a inline fuel filter)... then i will check for airleak around the intake vforces... thanks ya!!!! and dune/tune girl.... keep up the good work on keeping yourself up to par on tunein !!!!
