stock-ish Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 97 with fmf fatty pipes and air box I just rebuild this bike and I am about ready to toss it. It wont idle. Will start but not always first kick sometime takes a while and once running have to hold it open if RPM gets to low it will die I just spilt cases replaced shift drum and forks, clutch and baskets. while I was there did this rings and put in new spark plugs pulled the carbs apart and found a bent needle. Rebuilt carbs and change the main jet from stock to a 310 (thanks HQ for that help) It runs way better up top. Also moved the needle clip from full rich to one up (leaner) from that. I did not replace the pilot jets I didn;t remove them either when I dipped the carb. I did however install new float needle and seat and adjusted the float level. It was apart for 4-5 months so I dont know if I switched any parts from one carb to the other if that couls be a problem. The tors system has been disconected but not removed. I am 1.5 turns out on the little screw at an angle and I dont know on the others they book I have doesn't have them. They are horizontal and brass with a nut. And what are he ones on top of the thing on top of the carb. About the size of a dime and only visible with seat off. please help me Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 the big screws under your seat are your idle screws.try that Quote
batoutofshell Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 sounds like he has the tors and half an idle kit installed???????? Quote
Banchetta Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Make sure you didn't switch the carb bowls. ONly one bowl goes onto the choke carb. Also check to see if the choke tube is in place between the carbs. Quote
