dave95.1 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 I just put on a set of Rockets (Thanks John19). I have stock bore and porting, just the rockets, noss head w/ 21cc domes, and stock airbox w/o lid and the trinity 2-1 carb. I put in a 220 main and did a plug chop. The plug looks right and it runs great but if I run wide open in 5th or 6th for about 10 seconds it start to surge. Feels to me like it is sucking the carb bowl dry. Anybody have this happen? I had same setup with pt mids, and never had any problems, but I'm sure I'm moving twice the air. I plan to go back to 2 carbs, but I'd like to get it running right now, and then put on the 2 carbs and see what kind of difference it makes. Thanks Quote

I'm thinkin I better check my fuel supply to the carb. It acts like you are turning the kill switch on and off, but only does after you have been wide open for awhile. Quote

dave95.1 Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Posted September 21, 2005 Still stock. There's a screen up in there too, isn't there? Maybe it's time to invest in a pingel. Do they flow that much more than stock? Quote

dave95.1 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Posted September 22, 2005 where's the best place to look. the only one's i have seen are a dual feed. i have the single carb, so i would have to block one side off, kinda defeat the purpose wouldn't it. Quote

kenr74 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 You might try a bigger line from the tank to your carb. When I put my 2-1 on I had the same problem after running wide open for a while. I pulled the line and extra filter I had. Replaced it with some slightly bigger ID hose and haven't had the problems since. Quote

dave95.1 Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Posted September 23, 2005 it already has 5/16 hose on it. i pulled the line off the carb and opened up the valve, it's flowing, but i think it should flow more. i'm leaving for N.Y. tomorrow for a week, so i'll have to finish checking it out when i get back. you guys have fun at the HQ ride. i'd go, but it might be a problem if i wasn't there for my honeymoon.
