yyz Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Carb bowls are not swapped and it would not matter when its warm, Air filter clean.Took off outerwears no change and its clean also. as far as needles don't think that would effect it at idle.But you never know with these Shee's!!!! :: I would swap him mine to check but hes got the fucking tors on there still, Hopefully we can get another friends with tors to check it. are the throttle slides correct left to right?... that is, both with the cutout to the back of the carb... just a thought... we had the bowls accidentally switched on one of our bikes last year... was doing pretty much just as you have described... the left bowl is drilled out for the choke circuit, while the right bowl is not... good luck on all of it... yyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race-a-holic Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Might not be the problem but have you check the plug gap on both spark plugs? Edited June 12, 2006 by race-a-holic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Take the flywheel off. Shake it... I got my cub back together...and found out the flywheel magnets inside were breaking apart... If it sounds like a baby rattle....time to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batoutofshell Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Cleaned choke side carb real good and problem jumped to right side!!!!!!!!!!!! What the FUCK!! :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman-hott Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Bat if you have needles for some 33mm mikunis I have a set sitting here you are more than welcome to drop on by and pickup. Intermittent is pretty much a fuel flow problem if you've ruled out electrical. I am assuming you threw in new plugs. Is it possible its jetted too rich and the left side finally cleared itself but now the right side is fouling? Long shot really but eh wierder things have happened.

rocketboy Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 sounds like the reeds need inspected and replaced to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batoutofshell Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 He swapped the coil wires put the orange in the front black in back said its better but still not great we are gonna swap out the coil tommorrow and see how it runs. I think its the same as switching plugs wires but who knows ??? He took it to Bucks Yamaha they said the 290's were too big also and told him to put 260's in, charged him 65 to resink and clean the carbs again.Still not running to full potential.I think maybe clean the coils wires with some emery paper maybe bad connection there.He pulled the left plug wire off and it still ran pulled the left it died switched the coil wires and now it dies on both sides when you pull the plug wire off.But still not running the way it should with new top end and crank! !Hey Chris don't you think those needles would be too big for my stock carbs??

Fireman-hott Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Maybe, I was thinking switching the whole carb setup but the mikunis I have are missing needles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batoutofshell Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) Yea he took the carbs off his room mates bike and it ran great,couldn't use mine I have no tors. I bought some carbs off e-bay just for the stock needles ( i want those fucking dynojets out of there they suck) he can have the rest.Probably will give him some new reeds too I tore into a new 06 and stripped the stock stuff out.He has a set of my old boysen's in there now, don't know if they were any good, they looked good though.Too bad you can't ride anymore but we'll have to get together for some street cruising sometime.

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 so you finally figured it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjlthedog Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Whats up, I had a similar problem TWO different times with mine and each time the problem was something completely different. The first time it happened I was running very weak on the choke side just like yours but when I revved it up a bit it would fire and actually blow out a small flame out of the exhaust with a large pop....scared the hell out of me. After much grief...(like you) I found a very small hole in rubber boot that connects the carb to the cylinder. Check those things closely and often. The hole allowed more air in threw the hole mixture off. I replaced the boot and it ran like a champ! The second time it happened to me I obviously thought it was the boot again. Of course it wasn't, nothing could be that easy. It turned out to be a sticking microswitch located in the thumb throttle housing. This switch (when working) ensures that the thumb throttle and the carb slides are doing the same thing i.e. not a stuck throttle. Take out those three screws, lift the cover, and check to see if that little ball pops out when you push it in. If it doesn't spray it with contact cleaner and that should fix it. Tell your buddy to get rid of the T.O.R.S. though...nothing but problems. Hope this helps and good luck. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batoutofshell Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 He replaced the carb and the problem went away everything clean and right just a bad carb went through it with a fine tooth comb and found nothing wrong! sometimes you just gotta say WTF!
