DOTD Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Ok well finally after 2 months I got all the parts I needed to fire up the shee. When I parked her 2 mo ago, she was stock motor, FMF Fattys, K&N, Screened milled lid, 310 mains, 27.5 pilots, stock stator and plate. Ok so I tore it down and the top end looked great. Head was smooth no excessive carbon buildup etc. I put on a new Noss coolhead, 20 cc domes, 3800 elev, 3/8 reed spacers, Ricky stator 200w stator, advanced timing +4 deg. New plugs. Went to fire her up, and I kicked her probably 50 times. Alternating. choke on/off, and fiddling with the switch. Nothing. Checked spark and it was good. Checked flywheel pickup gap. right at .02. So now we break out the F150, and drag her. After about 20 ft in 2nd gear, she lights up, but running really crappy. Won't idle, bogging and then revving up high. If you let it die it wont kick start either. So I tried with choke out 1/2 way and it seems a little more responsive, but has trouble idling down. Tried the air screws as well out to 1 3/4 out in 1/2 turn inc. even tried timing set back to zero. Nothing seems to be right. I did not change the gas out of the tank. I think that may be a piece of the problem but it seems like more than that. Possibly need to richen up the pilots? Oh yeah the TORS has been gone since I got her . I run a twist throttle setup.

MFIC Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Sounds like your carbs if you have spark. Are slides in right? Quote

MFIC Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) Maybe pull the filters off and see if the slides are in sync. Edited September 6, 2006 by MFIC Quote
holeshotkid Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Is the fuel enrichment tube off between the carbs? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 try differant pilots... i had the same problem. i changed my pilots and it wouldnt kick over but when we drag it behind another quad it would fire but run like shit went back to the pilot i had before and ran like a champ. Quote
dlnoss Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Like holeshotkid said, it sounds like the hose between the carbs. I've had the same symptoms and that was the problem. Changing a lot of things at the same time sometimes makes it tough to find the trouble. Quote
DOTD Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Posted September 6, 2006 I will check the tube after dinner. Quote
DOTD Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Posted September 6, 2006 Holeshotkid I owe you a BEER!. Went otu to see and sure as shit it was off on 1 side. Popped it back on and fired right up. Thanks Bro! Quote
holeshotkid Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 No problem man. Glad that fixed if for you. Quote
