backfiring

[LIM_Whiteboy4life]

okay i did nothing major cept a dyna FS ign and water impeller and my dad flooded the piss out of it one day without telling. i have the choke out gas on first kick runs for 2sec then quits then the kick start will get hard to press then it backfires. it ran perfect 2 weeks ago then my dad touched it and now its fucked up all i have done was clean it every day detailing every lil detail to go ride this weekend but holy fuck. i put new plugs in checked the wires (would it be the TORS?) and i might clean out the carbs but i hope its nothing bad internally.... ::

my compression is around 110 both sides and the carbs look a lil worn but nothing serious. i stuck my fingers in the ports and tried to move the pistons around and they are fine the reeds and cages look fine so i narrowed it down to the TORS but im not sure at this point.... i mean it sounds like it runs fine for 2sec then cuts off.. would that be the TORS?

The first thing that I would do is remove that TORS unit and get an Idle kit. I would also throw in a new set of plugs.

 

this might help.

 

Did your dad have to add fuel? Possibly no oil in fuel for the hard kick. Just ideas.

Good luck with the fix.

new plugs, yes, it was filled to the top so no fuel added (all we have in the cans are premix) and i have a clymers with that same chart but this FAQ http://www.dfn.com/benkaren/elecfaq.html is fucking great i might do a clean up on my wires when im at it anyway im getting a Vito's carb tops, cables, adjusters, and idle kit and also a carb rebuild kit since the float valve is a lil worn... but we will see what happens :beer:

 

edit: oh and also is 280 main jet rich or lean for near sea level with my mods? alt not over 1000
