pimpeinkc Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) okay, i have 60 over pistons, just installed. switched to t5's from my 6's, put a 2 into 1 with 35 pwk, can't get it to idle for crap, keep fouling plugs, not haveing a great time with it. when it runs up, it seems okay, but fouling plugs and not idleing is going to drive me crazy. any help would be great. thanks a lot in advance Edited August 5, 2005 by pimpeinkc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stclark816 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Maybe sredish will chime in here, he ran the 2 into 1 setup for a while. If you are fouling plugs, you are prolly too rich. What do ur plugs look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 What is the idling problem, like it's not idling fast enough, like you can't get the speed adjusted? you might have to unscrew the idle screw completely, remove the spring behind it and cut it in half. Then, screw it back in and see if you can get better idle. I've had to do that on several shee's and it seems several others on here have had that problem as well. There doesn't always seem to be enough adjustment in the screw. Fouling plugs, when? Idling, cruising, full speed? What kind of jets are you running currently?

sheefreak Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 You are way rich on the pilot ckt for sure. You should have to use the choke, it prolly runs best right when you start it up before it warms up. You may also need to lean out your needle one position also. Then see how you are doing.

Wallynut Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Alot of guys are running a 45 pilot, mine always wanted to be leaner with the stock carbs, and am no different with 2 into 1. Hot and humid weather, I'm at 42 pilot@500-1000 elevation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpeinkc Posted August 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) when i went to the dunes last time, i was getting pissed at it not wanting to idle. i tried all the way up to a 58 pilot and of course it made it bog like hell. i have put the 42 pilot in it and it still didn't care to idle. i can make some ghetto shit at work and use the adjustment on my throttle to make it idle. i just like the thought of it being right and would like to have it idle with no cable on it at all. if it is possable. any other ideas about something inside the carb being off. i have had the bowl apart but i have not taken the rest apart. any one know of anything inside the carb other than jets that would cause it not to idle? or something i might have over looked when i did the rebuild? thanks again Edited August 5, 2005 by pimpeinkc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
