421stroker Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Sounds to me like you don't know how to jet your carbs. Maybe you should get a 400ex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesw Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 well first off call down and learn how to spell. hard to understand someone with all that crap you misspelled. first off what is your setup. pipes, filter, what size carbs. what is wrong with the bike, no spark, runs but not well, it bogs, well where at 1/4 throttle or wot. stuff like that is needed to understand what you are talking about also where do you live at. someone maybe by and could help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbyzfan33 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 i hate to be the one to brake it too you, but the croth rocket thing might not be an option????? ur 15? good luck trying to get insurance!!! ur best bet if u want a bike would be a normal sit back bike. not a rocket.

nater006 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Only problem might be getting your cycle endorsement. Had to be 18 here in MI to get mine. But.. if you buy a used one, and don't get collision, insurance is not too bad. Mine's a 93 so I don't bother as they wouldn't give me beans for it. But, it does sound like a jetting issue now that you've got fresh seals, a fresh top end, fresh port job, and the whole 9 yards. Once you get it jetted and broken in, you'll just be like.. "woah". Did Jim make any jetting recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetshee4312 Posted August 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 i will list my mods first off, fmf fattys, ported and polished(mx trail port) by jim at passion re , and uni airfilter, 75 degrees, 1000ft....... 340 mains, 25 pilots, and 2nd needle clip Ok, well my engine ran shitty before casue the carb slides were un even, well, i got tha fied, and it hit the powerband, finally, well, it was bogging so bad on bottom, so i brought the main from 320 to 340, and second needle slip(jim said to do this) well, i couldnt hit the powerband, it just like broke up on top, and ran like shit, so i played iwth the air screw, nothing, then i took the air box lid off, and it was hitting on top and still bogging on bottom.....so i went back took out eh 27.5 pilots and put in 25's, and it wouldnt hit, lid on or off...but i noticed tha the righ side didnt look liek ti was firing, i had to rev the shit outta it for it for smoke to come out, then it looked ok, and i got on it air screws 3 out, and it was hitting the powerband, but still boggin soooo bad on bottom.....im thinking maybe the coil could be bad, but i dunno, why it wuold only do it from 3/4 trottle and down, up top its hits amazing, fast...i cant figure it out....the right side keep over flowing though, constantly, and i cant get it to stop, and if its floats, i never did ne thign with them before, ne sugestions about them is ok, but can someone tell me how to adjust them, casue i dunno, left is fine but the right keeps over flowing, and the right keeps seeming like its missing??AAHHH i wanan ride it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rebel Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Yeah, I think your in over your head , you should just get back to basics. A basic spelling course first. Then a basic reading course. Then a basic how to open a book to read it course. Then a basic understanding what I 'm reading course (Fundamentals of the English Language) which , by the way you have completely destroyed so far. After that a basic typing course to tell everyone what you want to say, if you can think that long. So you are gonna be awhile catching up with the others, no time for recreational activities, you won't need that Banshee any longer. Why worry with the POS anyway. That is what you should seriously do:[. Wow, you spelled seriously right? 4312, you make the same mistakes a lot of young guys make, you don't learn the basics of what you are doing before diving in too deep. I see it all the time. You need to learn how to keep a stock shee running before you go to modifying it. They are hard enuff to keep in tune without throwing port work and other mods in to the mix. Learn the basics of carb tuning by reading , then test the theory one step at a time. You'll pick it up eventually, and have your bike running sweet. Sceereeussliy.....

banshee04le Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 I think you need to learn to stay on the pipe now and use the clutch like a banshee master until you save up some loot for some v-force reeds and some bigger carbs. Then you should have a much easier time getting it to run like you want. Porting will somewhat reduce low rpm intake velocity due to the intake ports being opened up. Larger ports increase maximum flow capibility but can reduce intake VELOCITY at lower rpms. V-force should help tremendously with a problem like yours. Thats my theory anyway .

sweetshee4312 Posted August 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 but not with the horrible bogging im haveing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee04le Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Have you tried the needle in the leanest position yet...with the clip all the way up to the blunt end (end thats not pointy)? If not try that. You should usually only make one change at a time, but I would also throw 320's in at the same time. Do a wot chop...you should be fine but shut her down if theres any lean sputtering or cackling on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 (edited) it was bogging so bad on bottom so i brought the main from 320 to 340 Does anyone see anything wrong with this statement ? READ THIS PAGE ABOUT JETTING~~~~~~> JETTING 101 And yea.... proof read your replies, it makes it alot easier for everyone to read when you have the spelling and puncutation correct.... and it makes you look smarter too.
