Finally running, need info

[deerekillr]

Hey All,

 

So after a year of building I finally started her up this morning and its sweet! Just need some info on some small problems. First off, heres what i'm running. Some type of MX port job from "Krank It", cool head with 20 cc dome cold comp reading of 150lbs. Greydon 2 into 1 setup with 35 PWK. 200 main, DEK needle set second clip down from top, 70 pilot, 45 slide, air screw 1.5 turns out. Universal K&N clamp on filter. DMC 916 exhaust, v-force reeds and cages , 5/16" fuel line and thats about it.

 

So my first problem is that I have fuel coming out of the carb overflow on the bottom when she's not running. I believe that I just need to adjust my float height, is that correct?

 

Second problem, it wont idle. She started second kick and runs if I just keep my finger on the throttle but wont idle. I dont know where that stupid plastic little idle adj screw should be at. I messed with it but I think i'm way out. Where is a good base setting for that thing?

 

Otherwise, its a sweet day. Both cylinders firing, good, even temp on both sides, alittle too much smoke but I think I went a tad heavy on the pre-mix, 916's sound sweet. Just need to go through my temp cycles and get her re-torqued and broken in so I can play this weekend!

 

Appreciate any help and I searched around for a while but couldnt find the right answers for anyone thats going to brake my balls about the search function....

sounds like you need to remove all the T.O.R.S junk. start by unpluging the little black box under the gas tank(left side).

Thanks man but were well beyond TORS removal. The motor runs killer just sitting there. Havent ridden it yet because I need to break it in. The problem is that it wont sit and idle on its own unless I keep my finger on the throttle a bit.

 

I forgot the mention that my timing is set at +5.

Try taking a little slack out of your throttle cable, it'll idle

 

And yes, your carb float needs to be adjusted, it's letting in too much fuel

I got the fuel leak fixed by adjusting the float height so thats all good. I also took the slack out of the throttle cable but she still wont idle unless I crank the adj on the throttle in enough to actually lift the slide. I know theres and idle adjustment on the PWK and its relative to the pilot jet and after riding the bike I notice that down low the engine seems poppy and not crisp like at higher rpm. I've been searching around at all the posts here on anything to do with idle or a 2 into 1 setup and nobody is running as large a pilot as as the 70 thats in my carb. The bike runs really well but I know it should be smoother and you can hear the exhaust not change as you change throttle position under power.

 

Anyone got any good information for me?

idk your elevation or temps but the idle has to do with you poilt in some cases try a few differant sizes or theres a guy on here he knows alot about 2 into 1 he helped me i think his user name is somethign like slipowski IDK but he post alot you should be able to find him

I know who your talking about and he is extremely helpful and knowledgable but everytime I ask a question the only answer I get is " check the search function' Well I checked the search function until my but was sore and cant find anyone running even close to a 70 pilot, which leads me to believe that i'm running fat off the pilot. It also doesnt help that I have some unknown port job from some company that used to be called "krank it" from Montezuma, NY, wherever the hell that is?

make sure your carbs are synced properly at idle and at mid throttle.
