B-Shee07 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Posted July 3, 2005 This weekend i took it out and it fouled out 2 plugs on the left cylinder, and kept bogging down. I am wondering if it is not getting enough gas becuase it started when i put the choke on but, without out it i wont even start. When it does run it runs as good ever. Any suggestions? I might check the compression later on both of em. Quote
stclark816 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 If ur fouling plugs ur getting too much fuel. Quote
B-Shee07 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Posted July 7, 2005 but now it only runs if i have the choke on, if its off it wont even start Quote
stclark816 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 What's your jetting like? What do your plugs look like? Quote
B-Shee07 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Posted July 7, 2005 im gonna take it apart today, after i put the new front sprocket on the left plug was jet black, but the right was clean. Quote
stclark816 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I would check for a air leak 389748[/snapback] That is also a good idear! Quote
DBLtapS Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I agree... Air leak on the one running clean..... How are you jetted, altitude, temp., mods...... yadda yadda yadda Quote
B-Shee07 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Posted July 7, 2005 k&n, pc pipes, altitude? no idea the guy that had it before me had jetted it, so i don't know what is in it. Quote

Nobody can help you without the info. ... And find out what height you are above sea level. Have a look at the top of the page in the 'Jetting and exhaust' forum. ... There's two 'pinned' items there that sredish put together that are full of useful information. You'll be in there often, so might as well learn now. Get a Clymer or Service Manual. Rare. Quote
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 whats that for? 390219[/snapback] The air gets less dense (thinner) as you rise above sea level. Example: A stock bike with fresh bores will have around 130psi of compression at sea level, but take that bike up to 4000ft and the compression drops to around 105psi. It's because of the thinning air, that the higher you climb above sea level, the less fuel you need to keep the combustion mixture correct. Rare. Quote
