MOdding and Bogging need help

[Thoughtshewas18]

So my first mod besides my exhaust and K&N air filters is vforce2 reeds. I put them in the other day. Took a while to start but it got going and seemed very very quick after I drove it. It ran fine. THen the next day (today) I went to go riding and at first I couldnt get it started. Finally after 2 other peoples help kicking it over it gets going. I drive down the road and slowly it starts dying... It makes a low bogging noise when I give it gas and eventually just looses power and shuts off. SO I took it home bought new air filters cause mine were toast... Got carb cleaner cleaned them out.. Put new Engine Ice coolant in and cleaned allot of the eninge out.

 

So when I get it running it idles ok but when I give it gas it kinda makes a bogging low tone till it hits higher RPM's. I have not messed with the jets and I dont know if the previous owner has. Do you think i need to make it leaner? Also Im sure I need oil as well cause I dont know when it was last changed. Its a 2001 shee and only had pipes on it.

[Thoughtshewas18]

ya before the reeds it ran fine... then after i put the reeds in I took it for a drive and it was perfect... But it was for like 2 minutes long... Now it isnt doing much it seems like it is getting flooded.

Hrmmm I didnt check that.. They are brand new but it was really humid out this morning too so I will check. BTW... With adjusting the needle in the slide... How do you get into that slide to adjust it? I see the slide and the spring in there but How do I get to the adjustment part??

Below that spring there's a plate held down with two screws. (Under the cable stopper plate). ... Remove those screws and below the plate you'll find the needle. When you put the plate back in, make sure you don't put it in so as to block the bypass hole.

changing reeds shouldn't change your jetting that much, i would look somewhere else.

Sounds like he overheated from running lean. So either its jetting or an airleak.
