'04limited Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 i run my toomey's with a 320 main at sea level but i have the k&n pods too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 His jetting is fine, if anything a hair rich. He's got an airbox AND lid...just removed the snorkel. You get into the 300's once you remove the lid and it's cold, or once you remove the whole air box. I think it's either the rider, tires...gearing, or not enough motor to pull third....IN SAND....

Banchetta Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Alright, your first problem is get rid of the air box lid or mod it...You can cut the last 1.5" off the end of it right behind the clips. This will give you another 4 hp....Next your too lean...W/ the modded lid or no lid, put some 330's in there, she'll take it and love it.. move your needles to the 4th clip, stock pilot, adjust the air screws to throttle response. Next, what size tire and what gearing are you running? You should be running stock gears for a piped shee in sand. I think your problem is in the lid and jetting though...Also check your compression. STock head at sea level and you should be around 128psi..Below 120 and I'd start thinking about rebuilding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying new paddles will only make your problem worse...Find the problem at hand and go from there...I know your running 8 paddles, but what size are your tires? 20's or 22's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banchetta Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 i have 20's . You should be able to turn those tires easily,,,,jetting and compression. Do both as suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
