Frustrating Bog

[350BANSHEE350]

it idles and revs fine sitting still, but when i go to take off out of first or down low it bogs pretty bad, bad enough that it struggles to get going again when i pull the clutch in, so i would assume that its either my floats or pilot jet

 

mods

t-5

filter

250 mains

stock pilots (25)

needle is on the 2nd clip going down from blunt end.

tried air screws at 1 turn, 2 turns, and 2 and a half turns and still does it

so kinda leans more towards the floats being off measure.

 

thanks guys

What elevation are you at? Is your air box open or closed with the filter you have listed? Your jetting doesn't seem all that odd. Have you tried pulling your carbs off and cleaning them? Checked your crossover? I'd pull them and clean them before you do anything else.

[350BANSHEE350]

3600 ft above sea level

i added the tors on so they were cleaned then and they havnt been through any dirt nothing like that

the cross over tube on the intake? i know the choke tube it on and i know there isnt any cracks in the cross over tube etc its all great shape

 

thanks and sorry bout not mentioning the elevation, im just getting a little mad i want it to run good and it super anoying

ANYONE?

Are the carbs in sync? Try rasing the needle a notch or two and see if it helps (lower the clip)

if i raise the needle another notch (lower it again) then it would be on the 1st clip and i dont like that, not to mention its lean enough with the 250s right now as it is (weather wise)

it seemed to not be so fussy when i had the air screws out 1 turn rather then 2 1/2 turns, so does anyone think i need a 27.5 pilot?

 

if not how you do adjust floats?

 

please help guys i want to ride bad and its finally completed and im sick of working on it LOL

NO NO man, I said RAISE the needle (lower clip postiton from blunt end) My thought is you are way lean in the middle with a 250 and the 2nd position from blunt. Try the 4th postition from blunt and see how it goes.
