using lots of gas

[cheezehead69]

just put a set of t-6 and a tors elimination kit on my stock shee. i run at about 3000 to 4000 feet above see level in all tempeture conditions in canada. i changed my main jet to a 190 and dident do anything else. the problem i have is it is using a lot of gas now. and when it idles it is fine at first but when i ride it for a while it idles really low. what should i do.

[racer]

well i think you should up your mains, that should be waaaay lean

[cdwood37]

yeah thats way to lean i am at 5000 feet and was running a 250 main so you should be atleast at that

[cheezehead69]

toomy says to use a 280. when i went to the bike shop and asked for that they told me i was crazy for going so high so i tried a 240 and the bike ran like crap. no power at all. one of my buddies piped his and it has a 190 in it and it runs fine and is the same on gas. the shop jetted his. what do you think

Dont worry about gas mileage.

 

Is the idle so low it cuts out? You can adjust the clutch cable a little. that changes the idle

[cheezehead69]

it dosent cut out at low idle. and how do you adjust the idle with the clutch cable.

[Bansh88]

On your clutch lever, you can twist out the slack on the cable. Do this while the engine is running.

you guys gotta be running lean or something

 

200 is stock at 1000 feet

 

You still have your airbox lid on? Get yourself a foam kit if you ride in water or mud at all and take that lid off, your stifling the motor

 

I still cant see it being that low

I run at 5000 feet and I have a 310 main in it, with K&Ns and t-5s.

Just upgraded to 35 pwks and CPI inframes, that will be fun to figure out again.

unless u like welded pistons i would get those 190's out of there!!!! i have the same pipes and i'm running 320's when u got the pipes didnt u get 280's and 270's with the kit? are u still running an air box? if u are i would still say at least the 280's... have u done a plug chop, or even looked at u'r plugs, they must be white!

if you are really concerned with fuel economy, you picked the wrong quad to modify.. the more mods you put on it, the more hungry those carbs will be
