Snopczynski Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 What needle? What type of riding? How do you know your running lean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee0028 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Definitely check for leaks: use some carb cleaner around the intakes and such and see if the idle changes. Also like Snop says, did you do a plug chop to tell if its really lean? I would think for your mods and temp, a 195 should be about perfect, if not then maybe a 180-190. But first need to check for leaks, plug chop, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yama_banshee87 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 well i pulled the plug after a run. i only went 5 gears but i didnt rev it all the way out i wanted for about a 5 second count pulled the plug and the porcelin was white and the L shaped thing was light brown. so i figured i was running lean. i just installed this last week. i just used the stock cages w/ just the orings on the intake. was i suppose to use a gasket there also? that is why i think i am running lean. i didn't bog or anything through first three gears.

Snopczynski Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Always use the reedcage gaskets instead of o-rings if thats what your referring to. Still need to know the needle size? I would think you shouldn't be lean with what you told me so far, but I really need to know what needle is in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you shouldn't be lean with what you told me so far, but I really need to know what needle is in it. We are talking about the trinity 2 into 1 correct? If so than I think he's talking about the o'ring type gasket where the intake mates to the single carb boot. As far as I know a reed cage casket will not fit there. I'm using reed cage gaskets where the intake mates to the reeds and to the cylinders. The intake boot mates with an o'ring which I coat with a thin layer of 1211.

Snopczynski Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 i am not sure i did order a dek needle to be on the safe side. let me know what needle i should use You need to take your needle out and see what size it is and tell me. You probably already have a dek in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Is this an rpm intake with the o-ring grooves cut in the reed cage side of the intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 dont use the o-rings on the reedcage side grooves and just use the standard intake gaskets. Make sure they are properly torqued down when you install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
