Hard starting Shee

[20Banshee03]

I recently added FMF pipes, TORS kit, Pro Design Intake with K&N filter with lid removed and then a Dynojet Stage 3 Jet kit. Before the mods I would kick the Shee over 1 time and it would start up. I am at approx. 600 feet. I replaced the needles and set them on the 4th groove as the instructions said. I also changed out to a 280 jet and made the changes to the air screw, again as the instructions said. The Shee is hard to start but when it finally does it is fine other than a slight bog off of idle. Can someone help with with what I can try to do in order to get it to start easier and get rid of the bog? Thanks for any help.

try taking your pilot jets up to 27.5 thats just my .02

If you have a bog off of idle go 27.5 pilot, I had that problem. It may help it start easier but not sure.

I will try that. What are the stock pilots?

Try turning your air screws out more.If you go past 2 1/2 turns out you need bigger pilots.Stock pilots are 25's.Did you set the needles 4th from top or bottom?

I did 2.5 turns as the instructions say and then put the needles on 4th from the top.

The instructions are used to get you close,you will have to fine tune it yourself.Start with your air screws 1 1/2 out,go a 1/2 turn at a time till the bog is gone. If you go past 2 1/2 out you need bigger pilots.If the bog is past 1/4 throttle you will need to move your needle clip position.Try pulling the choke when you try to take off,if it helps you are to lean on your pilot or you can try moving your needel clip down one notch.

OK I will try that.The bog is not past 1/4 throttle so I am guessing I should be good there. Thanks for the help. Hopefully this will help with the hard starting part as well.
