BurnsideBanshee Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Bought my shee with mikuni 32mm flat side carbs, tors torn off, boost bottle, and toomey t6. I think that is all that was done to it, just wondering how i would check my jetting for a set up like that? Before moving on to reeds and what not id like to get the base line set now.

trickedcarbine Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ditch the boost bottle, do a leak down. Those carbs might be about a 27.5 pilot, 2 clips up from the bottom on the needle, 290/300 main. What kinda intake set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kedge82 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 what is your elevation? what temp do you ride in? your air box, stock with lod no lid no box w/pods aftermarket box for good ifnfromation from us we need to know specifics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnsideBanshee Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 around 1000ft above sea, stock air box with 4 round filtered vents, stock air filter (dose need a new one) and im getting ready for summer so 70-100 id say on the temp. Ditch the boost bottle, do a leak down. Those carbs might be about a 27.5 pilot, 2 clips up from the bottom on the needle, 290/300 main. What kinda intake set up? And what would getting rid of the boost bottle do? I didnt install it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefromhell Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 It would get rid of it, that's what it would do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey83 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Theyre just hard on intake boots and will cause them to split and melt your motor down. Just keep an eye on it and look around for a stock cross over tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnsideBanshee Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Haha thanks bansheefromhell And Joey i would like to eliminate the clutter from the bottle but i just don't know what (performance wise) it dose. Alot of conflicting information on them on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kedge82 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 the boost bottles are junk like he said they just tear up intake boots in two years i went through 3 sets, ditched it got oem crossover and there was literally no differnce in proformance. of course the ppl selling them are going to give all kinds of good info on them thats there business. as for jetting you allways want to start rich and work down to top profrormance. with 34mm witch imo is a lil big for stock motor. i would love to give you a starting point but my knowledge is limited to stock carbs. if you had them i would say start at 300 but you dont and with larger carbs i dont know where to start. have you ran it at all yet? if so how did it run? was there lag through any gear or certain part of the throttle accelaration? what jets do you have in? if youve ran it and it dosent fall on its face through gears or the power band that means your not rich but could also be bad because you could be lean witch would obviously be detrimental in the life of your shee. jetting is really a trail and error prosess. which can become quite time consuming, but a most. someone with 34mm will chime in soon to get you a good starting point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey83 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ditch it. No gains period. Check out the thread about POST YOUR SET UP. Tons of pages on different peoples bikes with all info on jetting. Find somebodys set up close to yours and start there. Then plug chop and rejet as needed. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnsideBanshee Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Its running very well responsive no power loss at all, just want to rebuild my carbs and get it top notch so i dont spend all summer working on it instead of riding it. probably ditching the boost bottle if i get some new reeds ill do it all at once since i really dont like it being there at all./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Technically you can just plug the holes with some caps, don't even the cross over tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
