jesse1004 Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 (edited) -fmf fatties -boysen reeds(stock cages) -midrange port -shaved head -100 octane and mc1 (50to1) -+4 timing -k$n pods -lightened flywheel -bored .20 or .25 -stock carbs and intake -elevation 1500 to 2000 feet and 70 to 100 temps(nebraska) I just got the head shaved, the port work and the pods. I installed everything on the bike and it ran great except it would bog some times off the start and didn't like to idle. I pulled the plugs and they were oily black. I figured it was running rich, so I dropped the jet needle back one clip to lean it out a little. I was on the middle clip prior. I Reinstalled the carbs and now I cant get the damn thing to start. Should I have went to a smaller main? If so I am confused because with the port, head, and pods shouldn't I have to go to a bigger main, instead of a smaller one? I am not sure what size is in there now, Ill wait to here some responses from the HQ brainiacs before I pull the carbs apart. Also I usually get beat by a piped and jetted yamaha 450-is it me or the bike? Edited August 5, 2006 by jesse1004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregbowler Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I would check your carb sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse1004 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 if carbs were insync before and all I did was move the needle on clip they should change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 IS the choke tube in place between the carbs? Slides in the correct carbs? What jets, pilots and mains, are in your bike right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
