Ieat4strokes Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just built a 421 cub for my friend, he ran across a great deal and got a complete top end crank head etc. Got it together tonight and fired it up 3rd kick, no leaks, nothing.......... now its a complete dog up top and seems to hit a wall around near the powerband. Now it was a trail bike and he has alot of extras.....its got 34 PJ's with 55 pilot and 160 mains at sea level so im thinking jetting should be close...... hes has T5's and im KNOW that the T5's are holding it back but should it be that much? I have a fast 4mill drag ported with shearers and it will smoke it by 10 bikes or better by 5th gear, i had T5's when i first built mine but it still was faster than this...... should we try to swap pipes out and see if thats what it is?

beez33 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 The t5's aren't holding it back that much. You got problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252wheelieking Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I agree^^^....Jetting on the main should start around 165 IMO. check compession, fuel, timing & air fuel screws....just some things to look at off the top of my head.
