fastrthnu Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 compression? think your pilots are a lil big. might be a lil low on the main though too. Quote
peak-j Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) With my mods, I tried the 300 mains and it killed mine. Went back to 280 mains, about 1-1/4 turns out on the screws and runs awesome. Also I have the stock pilots in. I'm at 1000 ft. Edited April 30, 2007 by peak-j Quote
1966nova Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 shows 80 on both cyl? but 3 weeks ago i honed cyl and put new rings and pistons in it just for maintince and my gauge read 75-80 lbs also so i believe my gauge is wrong? because the bike starts every 1 kick very easy?ill try another gauge tommorow i didnt think it would run on that low compression am i wrong???

It would run like shit on that compression. unplug your coil and kick it over like your starting it like 6-8 times per cyclinder one after another and see what it reads. you should have a min of 120 any lower and you need to fix it for sure.

1966nova Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 the plug looks little brownish/black doesnt look to lean or rich? im comparing it to my race car plugs? ive kicked it 6-8 timeas at least.. would it still run wot good seems to pull hard,on that low off compression.. i mked the jugs honed cyl installed new pistrons/rings the .std....what else would make low compression thanks Quote

1966nova Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 i havent taken them out but i had the bowls off i sprayed b-12 throgh them it does idle good??? im very puzzled Quote
1966nova Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 would pilots make really doggy feeling???? Quote
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 your pilots should be fine. I would drop main jet size down to 280. I would also change the needles. they have a different fuel curve than stock. also make sure your carbs are synchronized. (opening at the same time). Did you just put the pipes and pods on? Quote

Did you just put the pipes and pods on? when did mains begin to effect idle off idle response? mains dont really effect anything till 3/4 throttle. Quote
1966nova Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 ] yes i did i changed the jets to 290 today no better i have some red needles the kit came with try those???by looking on inside of carbs they appear to be sliding both the same... use factory middle clip on needles? also what is the +4 timng plate do more low end it should have made a diffrence right??
