IDAHOSHEE Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Looking for some help, just built a Vito's 421, 20cc domes, 160 lbs compression,shearer in frams, 155 main jets in new 39mm kein pwk's. runs great until it reaches higher rpm's then seems to cut out and sputter, falls flat on it's face. Have tried going both directions with jetting does not change the cutting out. Have tried timing from 0 to 7 deg advanced, does not change the problem. Any advice at this point would sure help.

jbooker82 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I would have guess around a 160 main. You might check the pickup coil gap. Maybe some one who has experiance running those cylinders will chime in. Are they the sleeved stock cylinders, or the sleeper new casting cylinders.

Is this you Jason? I had the same problem when I built my 4 mil, it was the pick up coil gap like mentioned above, and make sure the screw on caps on top of your spark plugs are tight, they rattle loose after time.

Thought I was on the mark but who knows. I just finished my 421 from vito's, its been running like shit kinda as well. But i have the stock carbs on it. Tonight im gunna put the 34mill's on it. I think all it needs is some tuning with the jets. time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfSand Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I also narrowed the spark plug gap to about .024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigborebanshee Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I too run the Vitos 421 and had the same problem .It got worse after i went on a trail ride on a dusty day.By the end of the day it would not rev past 3/4 throttle without sputter and coughing.Filter and outerwear were dirty.I dropped the main 1 size and cleaned the filter.It has been running great ever since.I run 34pjs and my mains are at 150.
