dz06shee Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hey, Just picked up my 06 shee the other day...runs great when its warm but got a few issues Firstly, its quite hard to start when cold, ive tryed full choke half choke throttle no choke etc...but still quite hard, a mate of mine starts within the first couple kicks Idle was quite low aswell so i thought it could be this...adjusted that but it moved all over the place be4 i could try start it again cold Now are there any ways to see without using a tachometer to see if the idles are synced? Ive changed the plugs too The needle jet position is in standard position aswell as the main jet (owner said they havnt moved it) Kick feels like there is compression too Thanks.

Are you sure the carb bowls has not been swap? Is the right carb bowl on the right carb? They look the same, but there is one with a fuel passage wich the other one does not have and that one with the passage should be on the carb that has the choke lever, otherwise the choke won't work. Have you try to choke the airbox intake with your hand or a cloth to see if it starts easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous owner said he left everything standard so im not to sure For some reason now the left carb isn't getting any fuel....theres plenty of spark but the plugs not wet and the exhaust isn't crackling like the right one is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the previous owner jetted it and swapped the float bowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akita8 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 TORS are the throttle limiters on top of the stock carbs. It is where the idle adjustment is and there are electrical wires hooked up to them. If you set your idle to high it can be hard to start becuse it floods the cylinders on the first couple of kicks. If you just got the quad you should clean the carbs out and check that the bowls are on the correct sides. While you got the carbs apart write down the jet sizes that are installed.

dz06shee Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Carbs are apart Both have standard jets (200) and dont SEEM to be blocked. Bowls are on the correct side also... Cant see what else it could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz06shee Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Just an update... The carbs are clean and cleared the jets..also put the air screw back to standard position...still need to set the idle but unsure how you can tell when the screw hits the slide? wanting to do 2.0 full turns in jus when it hits the slide...as it seems most people are running off that But noticed the carbs are very much out of sync...where abouts does the dimple/marking need to be @ ful throttle?

dz06shee Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well both cylinders seem to be firing.. But encountered another problem...seems its running lean and getting no fuel, backfires really now and when i try to add some throttle it wont rev up Fuel lines have been check, carbs cleaned jets cleaned fuel cock is on and the slides are moving up and down. So im lost on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
