boogerdawg Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Posted February 13, 2008 I had the same problem with my '89 it was a pain and I always looked stupid getting push started befor i raced the hill. I took it to the guys at CPI and they found that i was loosing compression. top end rebuild and some major rejetting got the trick done. By the same problem, do you mean the exact same problem? Quote
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 to me your prob sounds like the pilot jet. sludge build up in the jet will make it a pain to start and will keep it from idling. I take a piece of wire and run it through the jet. you can also use a torch tip cleaner. Quote

I take a piece of wire and run it through the jet. you can also use a torch tip cleaner. I agree, sounds like something in the pilot circuit. I would step it up a notch on the pilot and make sure the jet and everything else is clean. How does it run with the choke on, or half choked? Does it idle? Quote
boogerdawg Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Posted February 13, 2008 well i got the carbs cleaned and put them back on. air screws 2.5 turns out and it runs alot better now. it will also start with the kickstarter now. it will idle only if the choke is on. how can i fix this? thanks guys Quote
scooter6101982 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 find out what size pilot jet is in it and go atleast one size bigger Quote
peanutbutterscotch Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 how can you tell what size the jet is and how can you tell if the carb isnt ported or not Quote
scooter6101982 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 there should b a number on the jet its reall small and u might need a magnifing glass if u cant see it or dont have good eyes Quote
T-daddy Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 well i got the carbs cleaned and put them back on. air screws 2.5 turns out and it runs alot better now. it will also start with the kickstarter now. it will idle only if the choke is on. how can i fix this? thanks guys i have the same problem with my 88 right now it only idles with choke i dont understand it hope u figure it out so i could fix mine too Quote
Justintoxicated Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) How much compression does it have? ???????^^^^ Does sound like it could be jetting or the crossover tube (Since OP does not know if there is a tube connecting the 2 carbs) Are you even running the stock carbs? However if your running really high/low compression or timing that could be the problem as well. Edited February 19, 2008 by Justintoxicated Quote
