dogboystoy Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) Well, I had a post awhile back, thought I fixed the prob, But I guess I didnt. OK, Its my low end, it is in the 0-1/4 throttle range. I have some putting on occasion out of my exhaust, not quite a backfire. Also some hesitation on the 0-1/4 throttle. Once I open her up she is great on the power band and anything above 1/4 throttle. When she is warmed up she Idles fine, usually starts on the first or second kick. I checked my carbs for sync, looks good, adjusted my airscrews, (2 turns out). I did read Meats web page (banshee zone), it was some help. I havent made any recent mods to the bike. All I have is a K&N in the airbox with a outerwear. My right side seems to throw a little more smoke than the left. I have run 32:1 93 octane since she was new. She has always run well, then this spring, for some reason she was running rich and was smoking a lot, I am pretty good about making sure my mixture is mixxed right., so I diluted it with some regualr gas (because I thought maybe I mixxed it rich before I stored her in the shed for the winter, and yes it was old gas, but what the hell). That seemed to cure the problem, but now she seems to have this 0-1/4 throttle issuse. And I did take my carbs apart and cleaned them, they were nice and clean, the jets looked good. I didnt take the float (s) out, because it looked like I would break something. That pin that holds the float in looked pressed in, so I didnt want to break anything to take the floats out. Any sugestions? Edited June 23, 2004 by dogboystoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 When starting cold, do you have to use the choke or will it start without the choke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) Congrats 2Smoker, I didn't think the FAQ, Help and Search features were used. Definitely try what is suggested there, that will help eliminate any hesitation. Edited June 23, 2004 by sredish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
