OutlawCM85 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Ok so I have been on BH for a couple weeks now . I have been looking around and doing some research . I have just bored my stock cylinders .60 over and my carbs were overflowing so I found that problem and fixed it . Got everything put back together and know it wont start . It seemed like it fired the first time I kicked it and then it seemed like it lost fire . By the way the reason I had to get the cylinders bored over was the piston must have been on its way out when I got the bike and I finished it off . So there you have it any help or suggestions would be appreciated . Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 If you have stock carbs make sure your cross over/ choke tube between carbs is connected Sent from your mammy house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 ^ That, or check the float bowls. They are left and right specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawCM85 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I did not know that about the float bowls . I did have the carbs all apart and cleaned them and changed the needles out because one was bent. Thanks I will check it out and I will check the crossover tube but im pretty sure I connected it back .

OutlawCM85 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 How do you tell which one goes where ? Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 This ^^^ left one has little "BB" on front of bowl, right doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 also make sure the angle/cutaway on slides faces air box, they can go in wrong carb and be assbackwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawCM85 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Ok im going to go take them apart and check the bowls now . I have checked the slides when I first put them back in from reading on the threads but the slide on the choke side "left side" has cutouts on front and back. Is that normal ?

OutlawCM85 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Ok both of the floats just have the number 20 on both of them . Both of them on the left float . By the way I did change the float needle and seat and bent the tabs up a little on the floats when I was trying to solve the overflowing problem Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camp0429 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 You need to measure the float hieght 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawCM85 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Ok I will measure the floats . I forgot to mention that the reason I had to bore the cylinders over is because the piston broke off level with the skirts . I was riding on the main road kinda fast and pulled off to go offroading and it just died . So I figured out it was the piston and it was broke somewhat for a while because the rings where melted into the piston. But the bottom end is good I have checked it out .

OutlawCM85 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Ok imeasured the floats and they were a little off . I put them both at 21mm and now I am going to do a leak down test as soon as I go get one more thing I need . I will post results when I get done Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawCM85 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ok I did the leak down and everything was decent but everything is good now . So I put my carbs and airbox back on and it wont start . My idle screws are both out 1 1/2 turns and I just cleaned and replaced my air filter . If I take the airbox off and flood the carbs with my hand it will fire up and idle perfect . Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98_sheester Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 What jets are you using as your pilots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawCM85 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I am using 25 pilots and and 250 mains . It will start with the air box off and flooding the carbs with my hand with the choke pulled half way out . It will stay running and actually sounds pretty good but when I push the choke in it dies Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
