bansheebrian06 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I am putting my fmf fatty's and powercore 2 silencers on along with a twin air air filter with the snorkel removed. What should i run as fas as jetting? The local dealer told me to run it 20 more than it is which would make it 240. Is this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odaen Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 yeah, that's probably pretty close........240 to 260 range if you are close to sea level seems like I ran 240's with my stock airbox/filter setup wtih my T5's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheebrian06 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks alot, im going to try the 240 that came with the quad. Anything else im gonna have to play with to get it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilarious Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks alot, im going to try the 240 that came with the quad. Anything else im gonna have to play with to get it right? 508004[/snapback] 240 sounds lean to me. I'd start out with some 280's if you have the lid on.. Where are you located and whats your elevation? From my experience with the stealerships, they dont know shit about jetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 i think id start out with 270 or 280 just to be safe then work my way back down if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheebrian06 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I jetted it to 240, its not running rite at all. It seems like its getting way too much gas. It has no powerband and it just bogs down and stalls. I moved the needle clip up one on the one side (didnt have enought time to do the other yet) and that side seems to run alot better. Any advice on how many i should go up with the needle? Or anything else i can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set your air screws to 1.5 turns out and put the clips on your needles on the 4th groove from the blunt end and go from there. I wouldnt run it unless you make the same adjustment to BOTH carburetors. Make sure the choke crossover tube is in place between the carbs too.

batoutofshell Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 take the lid off your box and start it and ride it see what happens don't go crazy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheebrian06 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have the snorkel off already, i really dont want to take the airbox lid off (due to problems with the kfx because of that) The choke tube is on, and i think the air screws are at 2.5 turns out. It starts bogging right from take off, it has no power at all, it barley moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batoutofshell Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 do what loco said after rereading this you are lean, go to 2 turns out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batoutofshell Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 check your spark plug connections real good and the coils wires make sure they are tight, does it idle ok?? I am looking at the clymers right not going thru the troubleshooting section you need to get one of these but I don"t mind helping the kids are asleep.

bansheebrian06 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thanks for all the help guys!! I hope i can help you's out one day. It idle's fine. Just as soon as i get on the gas it either stalls or runs ok if i keep the rev's up. But it still doesnt move too good, its like ridin a lawn mower, lol. Im still thinkin i need to move the clip up some and see how it runs. I just wanna make sure its not nothing stuppid before i go and do it and its not it.

ogre03 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Try a 270 - 280 main, needle in the 4th clip position, and air screw 1 1/2 turns out (it will probably want a fatter pilot, fmf's seem to). From there you should be able to tune it in. Read the jetting FAQ sections, they will help you on how to adjust the jetting. If that doesn't help, let us know Also (and the FAQ section will tell you this) the pilot does the first 1/8 throttle, so if that is where the problem is at, it's not the needle that needs adjusting.

bansheebrian06 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) Thanks guys, im goin to switch the jetting tomorrow to 270 and see how that is, any suggestions on what size pilot i would need? Oh and i pulled the plugs and they are like a dark brown color and the quads smokin really bad.
