dajogejr Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 It would be best to start your own thread rather than crap on this user... What is your elevation? KS don't mean squat to me... Your lean on your main, no doubt. With clamp ons, T5s, less than 1000Ft and 50 to 80 degree temps, you should be around a 330 or 340 main... What do your plugs look like?

grpark20 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Thanks for all the help guys. I put the 310's in today. Going to put pipes on in a week. I'm starting at jet size 310 because its usually cold here. Leaving the pilots stock and needle clip in stock position. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

grpark20 Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Got the T-5's on and the 310 jets. Running really rich. Bogs at top of 5th. After consideration and fighting the rain in WA state I decided to go with no air box and just the k&n with outerwear and went down to 300 jets. Still have the stock pilots and needle position Running very lean according to plug chop. Electrode was all bone white and the tip of plug was burned white. Didn't overheat though. I am going to try 320's with the set up for just the k&n with no box. Also right off idle if I ease the throttle very slow she will cut out and die. If I rev it good she runs great right off idle. Any suggstions about that and what d you think about thre next jet size I am going to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Take another 5th gear run. When it starts to bog, pull the choke out halfway...if it gets better, you're too lean. Gets worse and wants to die, you're too rich. Bogging is normally rich condition... Off idle, try turning your air screws all the way in, lightly seating them. Start with 1/2 turn out on each, and stop when you get the best off idle throttle response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 On my 99 I run T-5's, twin K & N's, outerwares, 340 mains, 27.5 pilots with the air screw 1 and a half turns out. I'm at sea level, 60-80 degrees. This should get you pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grpark20 Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Ok, going to try the 340's today and work my way down. Going to turn the air screws in first before I goup in pilot size. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grpark20 Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Ok, I got the 340's in. Runs good haven't got to do a plug chop yet. As far as the pilots and air screws I went with the 27.5 pilots and 1 and 1/2 out on airscrews. Still have the cut out right off idle. I looked at my carb slides and they appear to be in sync. What else could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grpark20 Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 The 340's are running lean believe it or not. Not that much lean though. I'm going to 350's to see if thats right on the money. As far as the stock pilots, turned the airscrew all the way in and still had the cut out at off idle. Went to 27.5 pilots. Still need to do the adjustments with air screws and a plug chop. Couldn't today it started raining. Any one know what else the problem could be for the off idle cut out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 did you do a plug chop with the 340s in? You say it's lean...but how do you know? New plugs take a little while to color the porcelin..but...the plug chop don't lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grpark20 Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 The porcelin was white/grayish from the days ride. Wasn't any exhaust smoke and when I stuck my finger in the end of the pipes it came out clean. But no I didn't do the plug chop. I feel like I am close though.

dajogejr Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Yep... Go out and buy 4 or 6 plugs...get that plug chop done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grpark20 Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) Got the plug chop done. This is the chop with the 340 mains, 27.5 pilot and needle in stock position with stock needles. I still have a cut out right off idle only if I don't nail it. I think my carbs might be out of sync. What do you think about the plug chop and the cut out right idle. Is there any way to check and see if my pilot jets are rich or lean too?? I hope the pic posted!! Edited June 8, 2006 by grpark20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
