banshee rookie Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ok so I traded for this 04 Shee that needed a bottom end rebuild. The guy had everything I needed minus a gasket set and flywheel puller. So I rebuilt the bottom end and got it all back together. Well I never messed with the carbs til now (the shee had been sitting for about a month). When I got it all together the left carb was bleeding fuel through the bowl vent line. So I cleaned the pilots and mains only to discover i wasn't getting fuel from my tank. So I cleaned out the junk from all the lines or so I thought. After the cleaning I took it on a test ride.....it had an off idle bog but I revved past it ....well about full throttle in third it bogged out on me and hasn't started since. I did a full cleaning on the carbs this time as I found more junk in the line. I looked at my plugs and they are wet and black which tells me it was running rich...I had also gone on more than one test ride. PLEASE HELP Mods: t5s, no air box lid, kn air filter w/ pre-filter, tors system completely disconnected Jets: pilot 25, mains unknown (no number on them) P.S I cleaned one carb at a time so no parts were mixed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee rookie Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 P.p.s ......I kick on it and kick on it and all I get is a puff out the left exhaust pipe. The choke crossover tube is on and I'm running a p.o.s boost bottle (it came on it) ohh my elevation is 131ft above sea level and my air screw is at 1 1/2 turns out. Hope I can figure this out.

bansheesrtoys Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 your pilot should be 27, if it was leaking out of the over flow tube then it is possible you flooded the motor. and i would run a 290-300 main jet.i forgot where my needle is. After you did the bottom end did you do a leak down test? did you do a comp test? just because it new doesn't mean it is sealed right.if you still have stuff coming out the gas then you could even have a clogged jet or petcock. if you can't get the gas tank cleaned i would replace it. and if you are leaking fuel its not a jet problem it the needle float rubber is worn and needs to be replaced.

banshee rookie Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ok today I replaced the plugs and reeds....I replaced the rubber o-ring on the float needle seat... I might have smashed it but haven't checked it....to busy trying to get this beast started...I have spark and fuel. I probably did flood the motor because my reeds and intake tubes are soaked in fuel. I never did a leak down test or compression test but both of those and re-sync on the carbs are all next.
