Silverlake Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just changed my jetting before heading up to silverlake, stock banshee mikuni 26mm carbs, fmf fatty pipes and silencers, v force 3 reeds, stock airbox and lid, have 270 mains, stock pilots and needle clip in middle position. For whatever reason i couldnt spin the paddles from a stand still if my life depended on it while i was in the dunes, 8 paddle skat trak haulers, I tried dumping the clutch and it still bogged down and wouldnt spin the tires quicky at all. Does anyone know whats going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverlake Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Aswell I checked the new plugs that I put in and theyre nice and golden brown on the lower part of the electrode ( further away from the ground) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverlake Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yeah i feel a lack of power in the bottom end, mid range and top are good and the bottom end just falls on its face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strm Trpr Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 FMF pipes like 30 pilots. Do a leak down test too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 FMF pipes like 30 pilots. Do a leak down test too. Not in all cases. My old turd had fmfs and 30 was too big. 27.5 was about perfect. Elevation plays a big part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you felt the need to say ^^^. He's running stock pilots with FMF's and VF3's FFS!!!! He at least needs 27.5 pilots.

Does anyone know whats going on? OP, seat the airscrews gently and see if it has more grunt. If so, then you need a bigger pilot, period, end of discussion.
