VERY WEIRD*

Ok last weekend i went to sand lake in oregon to test out my new t5, k&n pods and vforce 3 reeds on my new 06 shee. I was recommended a 310 main 30 pilots and the needle one groove lower ( rich side) . The mix in my banshee's tank was 32:1 it was running alright i guess not exactly tuned seemed a little rich cuz i had no bottom i mean i was going up tree shots in 1st and not being able to get to secound! then my mix in my gas jug was mixed 40:1 when i put that in this is when it started running hella weird...... when i started it back up i gave it some gas and the damn thing was boggin hella bad i mean the parking break was off and everything and i was giving it half throttle full throttle everything!!!! any ways i let it idle for a little bit then i gas and it revs up like it used to without bogging but when i went riding down the flats it was fine but when i had to slow down or downshift it would start bogging when you give it gas then you would have to wait again. my guess and my buddies guess was that my jets are set up way to rich for it and since the gas was leaned out a little bit all that gas was getting shot in my carbs with nowhere to go but i am not a pro at this stuff so i need some help and what i should tune my bike at now!!! thanks!!!

It should have been fine with those jetting settings. The difference in 32:1 and 40:1 should have barely been noticeable if any. Did you try putting a new set of plugs in? I might try putting the needle on the middle clip (one psoition leaner) try turning your airscrews to 2.5 turns out (about as lean as you can get with the 30 piliots) and see if it gets any better. 310 main should be good for T5's and pod filters.

 

You might have some junk in your carb bowls. It kinds reminds me of how my shee was acting when I had a little flake of crud in the carb bowl. It would plug the main and cause that cylinder to bog and the other would then bog too. Went to change the mains and found the flake of crud and it ran fine after that. It was the worst when I was WOT going up hills it would be fine untill the flake sucked up aginst the main then it would be like crap untill you stopped and the bowl would fill with fuel the flake would fall off the main and it would run fine untill after a few seconds of WOT the next time. It was very wierd and intermittent.
