Banshee Gorilla 06 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ok i have gone threw here and read all the diff problems people have on there bikes with jetting carbs and pipes and have almost got my bike figured out and fixed but i tstill have one small prob that bugs the shit out of me. My bike brand new in April 06 has FMF fattys ,power coreII silencers , K&N pod filters with outer wears, thats it no other mods other than jetting completely stock.The main jet size is 280 and the needle is set at the 4th clip.The bike runs great in the midrange pulls hard like it should and has started to pull much better on the top end but not to what i have been told it should pull and how other shees i have rode pulled for stock.Anyway my bigest nag is my 1/8 to 1/4 throttle it just does not have the take off that others i have rode do.I know the pilot jet has to do with this but does it make that much diffrence when you change the pipes on the bike as far as the take off power.The bike starts and iddles fine does not load up and is not hard to start if it is cold so i just figured that the pilot jet was ok i have set the screw at .5 out to 1.5 out and the stock setting was 2 turns out but i still have a little stumble in that first take off , normaly a person on a shee does not ride in that part off the throttle but it is a nag that eats at me because it should not be that way.My plugs are brown and dry i cant find an air leak on the bike so that out.and i cant find anythin else in genral that could be wrong. So i guess the end ? would be does the pilot jet have that much effect on the bike with minor mods that i have done. :: Thanks For any Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I would try bumping the pilot jet up one and see if it helps. It does make a difference :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yep...bump that pilot up. And...with no airbox, I'd bet your lean on your mains, too... Unless you're above 3000Ft...but then, your stock pilots would be fine if that was the case. FMFs are known to like fatter pilots. I'd get 27.5 and 30s to be safe... You should also be running the needle in the middle clip, too... By the way, what is your elevation and temps you ride in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yeap what he said, I have lost count Dajo :biggrin: Ell...I've been so bored at work...it's killing me. I'm waiting to get that message on the screen like that commercial: You have seen everything there is to see on the Internet, this is the end. Please check back in a month.... :beer: :beer: Gorilla... You said your plugs were brown and wet...so, normally that means your a bit rich. Your mains just sound a little lean with no airbox and pipes...normally at or around sea level on stock carbs, that's a 300 to 340 main...at your elevation, that translates to 290 to 330 main. But...hey, no way any of us can get you exact...just ballpark close. Just keep an eye on the plugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
