holeshotkid Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Does it backfire when you ride it and are decelerating? Double check the clamps on the intake. What pilot jets are in the carbs? Sounds like a lean conditions that's being caused by an air leak, low float level, miss-adjusted air fuel screws or partially pluged pilots. How many turns out on the air fuel screws? Quote

Sounds like a lean conditions that's being caused by an air leak, low float level, miss-adjusted air fuel screws or partially pluged pilots. How many turns out on the air fuel screws? Does not back fire. (it did when we first started having this problem, but it doesn't now) Screws are set to factory. (One is 3.5 out and the other is 1.5 out).Intake clamps have been checked and tightened. The pilots are, whatever comes with the LTE pipe kit (Note: we had this problem even before the pipe was installed). Floats have been adjusted and checked. We have been through the carbs many times and we are wondering if it could be associated to the valves???, or some thing else. We agree that it seems to be an air leak of some kind, maybe. Are these carbs very sensitive or what? We want to eliminate other possibilities before purchasing new carbs, as the brilliant factory technicians suggest... Quote
holeshotkid Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Set the mixture screws at 3.5 L and 3 turns R. 1.5 is just too lean. I cant see the valves being that far off but it doesn't take that long to double check the settings. When you have it running, spray carb cleaner around the intake boots. One might have a slight crack causing a vaccum leak and the cleaner will cause it to slow down/stall if there is. Quote
ohiobanshee Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Check your intake boots for cracks. My 01 cracked and it ran all kinds of stupid. It wouldnt idle than it would it surged than ran fine. :: Quote
The Faster Cracker Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 jsut playing devils advocate here but could the choke maybe be sticking? Quote
Redlined Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 jsut playing devils advocate here but could the choke maybe be sticking? No problem, I appreciate any help we can get. But, if the choke sticks, then the there would be too much fuel and not enough air and the motor would bog, no??? :ermm: Quote
akita8 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) Many a raptor has blown the intake boot. You might want to start it and spray some carb cleaner around the intake boots to see if there is a crack. Edited October 3, 2006 by akita8 Quote
