Real stupid question

[DirtyFitz]

Now I know I should know this kind of thing but what affects the idling on the Shee? I have the TORS caps still on so would it be the knob on the left TORS cap? Or is the air/fuel screw?

[blueshee03]

the knob on the tors cap.i would'nt turn the airscrew unless your rejetting other wise you might lean it out and burn up your pistons.

Alright well I rejetted my bike and put a 270 in it ( had a 280). It was running rich so I dropped the main and hopefully that'll help. Also when I did pull the carbs I did what the clymers manual said and put my air/ fuel screw to 2.0 turns. Before I did this they were both way off, I believe right side was 1.5 turns and left was 3.5 so I put them back at 2.0.

 

How can I tell if I need to adjust them ? I haven thad a chance to start the bike yet so when I do how do I know if 2.0 turns isnt enough or is too much?

what pilot jet are ya running?

[DirtyFitz]

I do believe its the stock 25

[Wicked98Shee]

try setting both airscrews at .5 to 1 turn out then just tweak it for best bottom end 1/8 turn at a time. ride each time and see how it reacts to the changes. be patient and look for best response.

Ok and just so that Im 100% positive I do twist on the LEFT Tors knob and not the right to set the idle?

[Wicked98Shee]

ya the left side is the one ya adjust ..

won't adjusting one and not the other throw the carbs out of sync? i always thought you should make equal adjustments to each one.

That is correct. Both need to be adjusted the same.

Alright, Ill be testing next weekend to get jetting and everything good. Thanks for the advice, ill remember to adjust both knobs on the top of the TORS.

yes, the pilot screw is the little slot screw on the side of the carb, the essentially fine tune your pilot jet. Don't worry you can't hert the motor with the adjustments, you will only burn up the pistons if the main jet is too small.
