Just got it and blup

[stock-ish]

Here is the deal, I just inherited (sp?) this thing. My buddy left it here and has dissapeared. I am going to the dunes and want to take it.

 

It starts great and seem fast enough but it blogs out with anything more than 1/2 throttle.

 

I think I should start at the beginning, pull the carbs clean and reset to a normal range. What are you guy runing as far as jet sizes, pilot, mixture srews anything I should watch out for. I have a sinc tool from the old VW days, I hop that is easy.

 

This is a 97, 350 is stock I think, air box mod, FMF (fat pipes) they say gold series.

 

I was told to run it at 30:1. I guess that is ok right? I have a new plugs

 

take it easy, I was a four stroke 2 wheeler untill last weekend.

 

but this thing is f-ing fun

Run a plug check and read my Jetting Troubleshooting at the top of this forum.

You can synch the carb with a synch tool if you want. There is also a glass buble on the, I believe, the left side of the carbs. You adjust the synch with the big screws on the boxes that sit on the carbs... the tors. Then you set the idle by adjust both screws at the same time to keep the in synch.

 

It's most likely not your problem. Could be a few things. I'll list some.

 

Electrically the tors can shut down the ignition source. YOu can unplut the tors system by unhooking the little black box under the tank on the left side.

 

There is also a parking brake switch on the left side. It's there to keep you from reving the engine while it's parking brake is on. You can check that it's working properly or simply disconnect it also.

 

If it's been torn apart it could be an airleak in the carbs, choke tube between the carbs, slides in the wrong carbs... swapped left and right, etc...

 

Oh yeah and most people run 32:1 to 40:1.

cool thanks for the help.

 

 

I believe the pervious owner removed the tors so I will check to see if any of it is still there.

 

Any base line jet sizes to start with so I can check that too. @ see level

 

 

thank again

As a base I'd say start at 310 main, needle somewhere between one lean from the middle to one rich from the middle... just start in the middle and see if it sputter or bogs and 25 to 27.5 pilot. The fmf fatty pipe likes a lean pilot for some reason.
