jharader Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 low compression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 low compression yes, chances are low compression. do you know what jets you have in there? First thing to do is.... check compression. If you have anything lower than 115, tell us. If it's higher than that, then pull the carbs and tell us what jets are in there, mainly pilots in this case.

mopar1rules Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) chevytrucks, turning the air screws in will richen the low end, cause it reduces the amount of air that gets mixed in with the pilot circuit. find out what pilots you have and let me know.

ASRBanshee Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 What are your mods done to the bike and the intake/ airbox mods. Bump up your main a little and it should start fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevytrucks84 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 k and n filter pods thats it. i had 260 in and it did same thing felt like it bogged in 6th put 250 in it got better could use 240 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASRBanshee Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Dont mistake a bog for a rich condition when really it might be a lean condition. I really have no experience with pod K&Ns and everything else oem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 no. there's no need to be going any richer than 240 for mains. chevytrucks, how many turns are you currently out on those airscrews? just try 27.5 pilots and like 1-1/2 to 2 turns out on airscrews. see what ya get there. asrbanshee, you don't want to mess with the main jet, to cure a cold starting problem. gotta play with the airscrews and pilot jets.....things that have the greatest affect on the low end:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevytrucks84 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 ill try the bigger pilots and mess with the air screws and ill let you all know what happened thanks every one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevytrucks84 Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) thanks for every ones input, i starts 3-5 kicks cold. i love it. got the 27.5 pilot and 270 main. found out for some reason on the carb above where the choke is the plug was missing smashed a lead sinker and it starts it runs sweet thanks again Edited July 20, 2008 by chevytrucks84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 i was wondering if you have the float bowl with the little jet, on the carb with the choke lever. but you said that is starts in like 3-5 kicks, so i'm assuming you do.
