Bansh-eman Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 how long has it been sitting? any changes from last time it ran fine? Quote
theshee Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 Make sure you are getting fuel to the carbs. I had a problem a bit ago just idling it would do that and I wasnt getting fuel to a carb. Just a thought. Quote
bansheeyfz Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 I try and start it and let it iRev for a few mins. It ran great last time i rode it which was about 2 weeks ago. It seems that im not getting fuel because it will idle great but then it will bog down and shut off and it will be a bitch to start. how do i correct the Fuel getting to the carbs? Should i just take my carbs off and clean them? Also the T.ors kit . what is your guys Idle screw set at . "the brass one that we had to drill and tap? I Dont know what to do and just want it to run fine for this weekend because im going riding? Quote

mpbanshee Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Take the bowl off the bottom of the carbs, and spray carb cleaner through the pilot and main jet passages. Also clean and inspect the needle and seat that the floats attach to, and make sure the floats move freely. do this one carb at a time, and see if that works. Quote
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 carb adjustments (stolen from someone else on the board) first...with the idle screws completely removed, remove the airbox (makes it easier to see and work on). Make sure with the idles screws removed both carb slides fully bottom out and seat with no throttle. Then...slowly move the throttle and make sure they move up at the SAME TIME. You use the adjusters on TOP of the carb caps for the syncing of them. Next, place each idle screw in. When it touches the slide, stop. Back it out, turn it in, etc. Once it is JUST at the point of touching, turn that screw in 2.0 full turns, and lock it down. Do the same on both. Check the sync on both of them again.... Put it back together.... Warm it up...and set your air mixture screw next. Start with the air screw out .5 turns from the lightly seated position. Keep turning it out until you get your highest idle, only go .5 turns at a time. After you turn the air screw out, WAIT 20 seconds for the adjustment to take place. When you get your highest idle, then...adjust it up or down with the idle screws.... Quote
Cyan Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 what does it mean if once my idle screw is touching i can only go half a turn b4 it bottoms out?, time for new idle screws?, if so where do i get em? thanks for the help Sean Quote
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 did you file the side of the carb down? the idle screw won't work unless you take some of the boss away. Quote
