Wallrat Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 (edited) What's your elevation? Do you have spark? How old is the gas? Edited November 13, 2004 by Wallrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 If your three 3 turns out on your air screws go up a size or two on your pilots. You should be about 1 and a half turns out on both air screws. Mains sound way lean to me as well. How do your plugs look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neal Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Do you have the tube connecting the two carbs together installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batoutofshell Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 repiped to stock less powerful but alot quieterand still have 25 pilot and 250 main I would think if i change main to 200 or 210 it should be good ran beautiful at warm had to give it one shot of starting fluid to get it going but i think it is flooding out when starting now. I pull out the choke and now I smell gas big time when starting got the screws at 1.75 out.Compression at 120 both everthing else is clean and good. i am going to replace the spacers at the reeds and get rid of the boost bottle too.
