overheating

[bluev8s10blazer]

my banshee overheats when just driving around at low rpms for a longer period of time. Im thinking maybe its running too lean off idle. Any ideas of what else the problem could be? i have coolhead with 20cc domes, cpi pipes, stock carbs needle on 3rd notch. ive already bought a prodesign waterpump. its not installed yet but i dont think that is the fix for the problem

What is your current jetting, have you checked your pulgs to see how the jetting is.

its been a long time since ive had the carbs apart, i believe its 195 main jet. im not really familar with these carbs. ive looked and have not found a pilot jet. is there one?

it depends what pipes if any you have its all about combinations but that looks to be too lean anyway, usually at the shop we put 320's on stock bikes with just toomey's and twin k&n's

Correct me if Im wrong but I think they all overheat when riden slow for long periods of time.

im sorry i ment 295 main jet. im not riding slow for that long though, maybe 7 or 8 minutes. it doesnt always have to be slow mainly just low rpm. thats why im thinking its a jetting problem

pull your plugs out and see what they look like.

The Pilot air jet/screw is the little gold screw on the outside of the carb.The Pilot jet is inside of the carb in the smaller whole youll have to unscrew it.
