AKheathen Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 oh, boy......you are gonna want to check on those rings for sure. come up with a complete list of the flow setup, like what pipes, carbs, filte3r swetup (including weather you are running airbox/lid/snorkel, ridding temps, and elevation, and porting, if any, and start a post in jetting. sounds like you are lean and/or have an airleak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries. Sounds like you might have a carb balance issue. Also, I think what you might be experiencing is spark snuff or blowing out the flame. Try dropping your plug gap from the OE .028" to .022". That might take care of ya. Oh, if you are still running the TORS system, read up on adjusting or make sure you have about 1/8-1/4" of play in the throttle. The TORS have a very bad wrap but they do work if adjusted properly. What will happen is you chop throttle, it kills the ignition for a millisecond, then when you hit the throttle, it picks up the extra fuel as a backfire. Very minor issue.. Whatever the case, it does not sound serious.. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
