It's what I run and I paid well over 175. Dammit! So far so good. I like it and have banged it hard against plenty of trees at speed and hard jumps, no problems yet.

possibly jetting...

nah, half and half is the best way for coolant. Honestly, you need to drain all that shit out and get some Engine Ice from the dealer. It will run way cooler than any coolant mix and is really good stuff. If you can't get it by tomorrow, get some by next weekend and quit screwing with old coolant. Engine Ice pours straight from the bottle and is like 50 degrees cooler.

it's all about the bling.

How does it run when warm? You said slight hesitation and sometimes a backfire, but otherwise great? That makes me want to say your pilot jet is maybe a size too lean. Using the throttle to "keep the R's up" will pull additional fuel from the needle and that keeps it running, so this makes me think the pilot is just not getting all the fuel there during warm up. Could possibly be reeds, but i'm thinking not since it runs fine after warm up. You have brought up a lot of valid places to look but it might simply need one size bigger on the pilot. I'd try that before I got any more serious on searching out a problem. Later.

radiator cap could be bad, or maybe something kinked in the rad.

Loco, we are all expecting a full ride report in the "reviews" section by 5pm Sunday. They look really good on your machine. I'm also wanting to know how your times came out at the hillclimb. Man, we gots to know.

You'll really need to run a plug check to know if you need to go up or down on the main. You may have to lean some or you may not have to anything, only way to tell is to check plugs, and the only one that can do that is you. Read the BansheeHQ Jetting FAQ to get more info on how to do that. Reeds won't affect fuel coming out of the bottom of the carb, maybe the plug is loose on the bowl.

that's the way I do it. Main first, then work down.

Ok, call me stupid. What's the difference between a standard stroker motor and a 12 Port stroker. I knew the answer to this before but can't seem to recollect. Later.

if it's wanting the choke when it's warm, then it's wanting a little more fuel to run at idle. Try going up on your pilots another size like hamuel mentioned and that should help it out. Once you've done that, then adjust your air screw for the best idle. What pilot are you running right now?

you can run amsoil at that ratio.

Yeah, i don't think I'll be passing through Kansas anymore.

uuuhhh.... out drinkin again huh? you missed the beer post by about 7 forums. no, i'm on the same page. a smartass knows when he sees another smartass... he's talkin about the "The Next Person To Use The Word "sorry" In The title of a new topic WILL BE SHOT!" thread.

It will richen up some, but probably not near enough to really tell. The amount of fuel/oil change is very insignificant in regards to the air/fuel ratio. If your good at 50:1, then you should be fine at 80:1. If there is a problem, it should begin to sputter or something indicating a rich condition, and this really won't hurt anything, so I'd just switch the ratio like you want to do and then go out and run it. If it's too rich, then you'll know and you can rejet accordingly, if it runs fine, then go out and have fun. Later.

How is the coloring with the 370s? The coloring for the 390s sounds like you've got plenty of color and are running good. Was this in 50 or 80 degree weather? Personally, I would try to jet it at 50 with the lid on and then see how it runs at 80, if it wants to sputter or foul, then pull the lid and see if that clears it up, if so, run another plug check like that to be sure it didn't lean out and then your good to go.

Call Loren Duncan and get some Elkas and quit fuckin around.

Congrats guys. Tats, glad to hear you havin fun. 25, huh, I woulda thought you were at least 30.

Cool. Sounds easy, though I'm not too familiar with Madill, I do know a little about it. I'll get back to you regarding if and when I'll be there. Who all will be going with you? Later.

i have more to worry about than perry does. for one he runs a real long swing arm, so i know all his weight isnt on the rear tires. also his tires arent all that great. they dont have too much tread to them. im gonna be runnin just a +2 with brand new fats trekkers. they bite like a motherfucker. ive always run 13/41 and taken out in 3rd and usually stay in 3rd the whole way. i dont really wanna have to shift it. im gonna be doing some testing with 13, 14 and 15 tooth sprockets this weekend. Make sure you've got a cameraman like last time. I need to hear those rockets behind that 12 port.

Hell yeah man. There is only one way to learn, and you don't want to have a banshee you know nothing about. Plus, in the end, it will give you a whole lot more respect for the machine and your ability. I'm glad everything got on ok, just let us know if you need any help, especially with the jetting. Scott

you buncha drunks...

Jen, I'm having a b-day barbecue on Fri. and then on Sat. I have a different party to go to around 1pm. Sunday is pretty open and I'd like to go ride, but I'm not sure how it's going to pan out. I'd say give me directions, but I don't to tell you I'll be there and have you looking out for me and I never come. How far of a drive? I was thinking if I got up early, say 7 and made it there by 8, I could get 4 or 5 hours of ride time in and be back by 1 or 2 at the latest. That would work, because then I could still go have a late lunch with the wife and go shopping or whatever wifey things she wants to do. Later.

how long do you pump the air out before you make a change, like change the res, or the hoses? It can take a while, and do you visually see air coming out, even after a lot of pumps?

yeah, sounds like a good deal. I'm not sure how adding the rezzies work as far as works working with PEP, but if he's not workin you over on whether his stuff can work, then sounds good.
