2STROKIN_IT Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Ok so I had my shee out this weekend and all was great.. Than I go home and powerwash her you know to clean it up and stuff and bam it throws a hissy fit and don't wanna run right anymore. I installed the timing plate, tors and filter and she ran great but after the show it was down hill. First kick it started right up than all of a sudden it started to idle reply high than bog and start running on left cylinder only and after that it wouldn't start. Spayed a bit of premix to give it some help and it would start idle fine than idle high than right cylinder would stop firing and die!! Wtf did I do!!! She has tors delete, pro flow filter, t5 pipes and jets that came with t5 kit, timing plate installed at +4 and my elevation a bit over 600ft. I have 2 jobs so my time is limited unfortunately at the moment so any simple checks that I can make right away to diagnose the issue would be great. Thanks like always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2STROKIN_IT Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yeah no kidding. If I had more time I would have dug into it a bit further but guess it's gonna have to wait till Saturday. Made my leak down rig so I'm gonna test that out too. But do you think the timing plate can disrupt spark like that?? Freakin weird.... I just wanted to get a jump start through u guys before I had a chance to put my hands on it!! One second she's purrin like a kitten than kaput I don't get it.. Again thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'd do a leak down and compression test in case you may have fucked up a seal with the pressure washer, and then start pulling electrical connections apart and drying them out and filling them with dielectric grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2STROKIN_IT Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'll give it a try and report back. Hopefully it's easy but I guess its gonna have to take sponge baths from now on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Pull stator cover make sure you didn't fill it with water. While in there clean nubs on F-wheel and set gap. Ohm plug caps (5K IIRC) trim 1/4" from wires, install W/Di-grease. Check coil ground. Maybe give coil good BJ w/heat gun/hair dryer in case of water intrusion. Drain float bowls.

2STROKIN_IT Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well it's running now!! Took stator cover off and noticed that little nubs on flywheel had a bit of surface rust along with contact point!! So I unscrewed the small contact point and it looked like it was dirty also. I cleaned them both but still had a bit of rust so I got a 2000 grit sandpaper and sanded little point and nubs than used some mothers metal polished and shined them up. After that I got some brake cleaner and wet a lint free towel, wiped off nubs and point to get any wax residue off. I put it back together and bam first freakin kick it started right up and sounded great, I left plate timing at +4!! I left it running for a while and took it around the block a few times and all seems normal!! Now my right carb is leaking from bottom overflow so I'm gonna pull carb and see what's up.. Thanks again fellas oh and if my boss asks I'm feeling sick... Cough..cough...sniffle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Check the float height. Should fix the overflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggzy Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 First kick it started right up than all of a sudden it started to idle really high than bog and start running on left cylinder only and after that it wouldn't start. Wtf did I do!!! She has tors delete, pro flow filter, t5 pipes and jets that came with t5 kit, timing plate installed at +4 and my elevation a bit over 600ft.

muggzy Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Sent from my SCH-I535 using TapatalkSounds like you got the carbs wet. Let me guess, you have the stock mikuni carbs? I'm also willing to bet that the next time you try to bash through a puddle the same thing will happen. If you search this site, you should find all kinds of posts regarding wet carbs. I went through hell trying to figure that one out. Never really did get to the "root cause" but if the problem is the same that I experienced, when you've got it running properly, use a spray bottle to spray water on the air filters. You'd expect it to choke out the engine but the thing will over rev like it's a lean condition very much like what you've described. I fought with it for a year before I finally got around to putting in Keihen pwk28's. Not only did the problem go away but my low end response is better that I was ever able to get with the stock mikuni carbs. IMHO, you're seeing the reason for the TORS box.
