darkness878 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Been looking online at the fmf power up kit. Is that a waste of money? only thing I've done to carbs is clean them all out good and install it. Just picked it up. Guy before me had a shop rebuild top end and he lost intrest So my question is from here where should I go It has a fmf pipes and silencers on it and still a closed box intake it's hard to start when it's cold and seems like when you give you first give it gas when starting it it bogs down help me out? Sorry for the long into 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 no need for that kit Post your mods and elevation. FMF like a big pilot, they recommend 30 They also recommend a 260 main with the lid on, also a very good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 On a new to you engine with unknown origins Pressure test Compression test Go over electronics These three things will have you chasing your tail jetting. Your set up is very common . With air box lid on 240 main in dead of summer 260 in winter , 30 pilot for sure, needle 4th or 5th clip depending on what she likes. Make sure your motor Is sound before you start riding it. I can't even count how many rebuilds I've done that start out similar to your situation . You have no idea how many bikes blow up on new owners first rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkness878 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 First day I had it home I pulled plugs and pipes off, I have done compression check but it all was brand new, rode it around with extreme caution as if it wasn't broken When I got it home before I did all that I had to sync carbs replace throttle cable, pipes had no clamps so I replaced that also no air filter so I picked an oem aftermarket one off eBay, took carbs fully apart and cleaned every piece of them both After it sat for a few days it was hard to start seemed like it was getting to much fuel even with the choke pulled then whenever i gave it gas it would sputter and die till it gets warm then it's fine idle great and start up perfect everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkness878 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I did how ever notice I had 2 different needles so I matched them up to the same clips but I feel like I want matching needles to rule that out Low end great, mid great, high top end started to cut out it seemed I'm from Missouri Temp 40-100 (I know I should adjust according to season) Fmf expansion chambers with silencers All else is stock I have carbs off now gonna check the reed conditions when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What jets are in it now? When the choke is pulled it IS getting more gas...It is actually a fuel enricher, not choke in the normal sense of an air choke.

And so it's getting to much fuel while cold would wrong jetting cause hard starts? yes, your probably wrong there, and yes. STOP running it if you think it has stock jets-- NOTHING good will come from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
