how do i do a leak test to see if i have an airleak causing me to go lean and fart/backfire out my exhaust?

if its not an airleak do you think it could be because my pilot air screws were out all the way causing me to go lean?

the shee is all stock and has only 9 hours on it (07 banshee) and the screws were like this when i picked it up it only does it when i am ridig it idles fine and what not but when i go to drive it it go pffff pffff so i just did ths to richin it up for now 200 mains, stock pilot on the clip below the 3rd (down towards the longer part of the needle that goes in the carb) pilot airscrews are 2 3/4 turns out, so should i be fine with this set up ? 200 mains, stock pilot on the 3r clip and pilot air screws 2 turns out?

 

elevation. 3600-4400 ft

temp. 10-35 *C

only thing i have done to the shee is put engine ice in it

im looking to get a T.O.R.S removal kit and parking brake block off kit

 

thanks

put some windex on it. nah use some extremely flamable carb cleaner (high ether) and spray it in a light mist around the boots and crank seal on the flywheel side with a decent amount of rev 2500rpms and hold it very steady.That will give it a litte more vacuum power to suck it in. If there is a leak it will start to race harder without further throttle. the general stock setting is 2 turns out pilot, and 3rd clip. Doesnt mean that right on or even close though.

ok thanks

 

if my bike runs fine with that setup then how do i tell if its to lean or to rich?

i have no clue what size jets i need and what clip my pilot needs to be on and how many turns the pilotair screws should be out

if somebody could piont me in the right direction than that would be very good

 

thanks alot

Dude if you wanna know if its runnin lean or rich check your plugs and do a plug chop, the plugs can tell you

everything you wanna know about your motor, if its real black and wet its rich if its white and burnt and dry its lean, you want a real light tan color then its perfect, I have never done a plug chop but its a real good way to tell you where your at jetting wise.

lol i had a brain fart when i asked how do i know if my bike is running right lol

i forgot it had sparkplugs now i feel dumb and all you are probably dumber for reading that question sorry

after a while of riding the plugs well turn black correct?

 

do i need to take the carbs off for the T.O.R.S?

well i need to rejet if i take the T.O.R.S off?

the T.O.R.S kit makes it easier to pull the throttle too right?

 

thanks guys

Yes you need to take the carbs off for the T.o.r.s kit and mill the carb for the idle screw. You dont need to rejet for the kit and it doesnt affect the throttle ease.
