skinindustries Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I just bought carbs and i have 280 mains, Dont know what size pilots, or what notch the needle is on. but it will run great till about 1/2 throtle then i just lose power. it doesnt bog down just loses power and wont rev any higher. any help with this would be great.

shee4speed Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 what all do you have for mods? Those carbs have toomey needles on the middle clip.The pilots are stock.25's. Do the slides open all the way when you nail it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinindustries Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah they open all the way up. do you think i should put it on the first clip and see what that does? When i first put them in it started and smoked like crazy.. so i know i was running really rich, I put my 280's in and the smoking stopped and it idled then. Now it will run good till i nail the gas then i just lose all my power and dont accelerate anymore. It doesnt make any noise like a bog down it will just not rev any more.

AKheathen Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 aren't the toomy needles longer and fatter than stock needles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinindustries Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) So you are saying i should run it with no filter system on it at all?? I am going out tomorrow to try some things i am going to move the needle, and i am going to order some smaller jets. maybe i can get it in tune. Or maybe i should just switch to pods.

GrMeyer Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 what kind of filtering are you running? with lid? without lid? Pods? those will make a big diff...and when you can get a good starting point; plug chops are on the way for you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
