uman1030 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Since you don't have a leakdown tester I wouldnt try and make one, I would make this thread like 300 pages long explaining the exact same thing over again. ignoring each time some one told me to do a leakdown test and just try it again and see if the motor fairy fixed it while i slept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Did u check compression . It cost me like 30 bucks to make a tester hardest part was finding a low pressure guage cause I wanted liquid filled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 It wouldnt hurt to check your flywheel out. A dirty flywheel will cause a week spark causing issues simmilar to what your describing. While your there check the pickup gap. Im not saying this is your issue but its an easy check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcs222 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm going to check compression today. Also build a leak down tester. Take my carbs apart and check everything out a last time.

Newcs222 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Compression is 140 on both cylinders. Cleaned out the carbs again and it seems to have done the trick. One exhaust pipe is smoking slightly more than the other. Both air screws are 1 turn out. Should I be concerned? Spark plugs are brown.

uman1030 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 If that's what the motor likes that is fine. Was that where you had the best idle with the most crisp throttle response? Generally if you have to turn it in to 1/2 or less to get the best idle and crisp off idle response you need a larger pilot and if you have to turn it out to more then 2.5 turns then you need a smaller pilot.

Newcs222 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I've already got 30 pilots already. Seems to be fairly crisp. Maybe a slight lag. I guess the tell all will be the plugs. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uman1030 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 A/f screw is part of the idle circuit so unless your only letting it idle then the plugs wont be a perfect indicator. More then likely with a 30 the sweet spot would be more around 1.5 but im guessing you tried that before you went to 1? with the bike idling if you move the screws from 1 to 1.5 and wait about 20 secs does the idle raise? I normally start off at a couple turns out then in small increments turn them in on both sides then wait to see how it effects idle once i find out where it lowers the idle i then move it back out about 1/8 of a turn.

Newcs222 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Where do you leave the slides when adjusting the air screw? Because you can make it idle with the idle adjust screw as well. I have them bottomed out but screwed in a bit. So the slides must be sitting a bit higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uman1030 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Seriously? Yes im fully aware you can adjust the idle screws to change the idle... Idle screws raise the idle by raising the slides. The air screws when turned out raises the idle because it added more air making it lean. not the same thing. Try setting the air screws as i stated above. The object is for it not to effect the idle by making it lean but just be just above lowering the idle from a rich condition caused by having them in too far.

Newcs222 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I know what both screws do. Where do you set your idle adjust screw when adjusting the air adjust screw? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
