miner Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 :: i bought my she feb. o6 and put t6's on it and i was too exited tojet so i took it for a spin. it ran great but no smoke out the exhaust so i stuck 240's in it.ran ok but no wot.put 220's in and took off the snorkle and it kicked ass but i still wasnt gettin good pull on the top end.i checked out the plugs a couple of times and thought they looked good(not a plug chop) .and then i found bhq..........i have not rode it since i have been chekin this site out,partly due to work and the cold weather.i am going to run with the lid on,no snork,500 to 1500 el.,blendzall and 93 pump at the man. rec. mix of 24:1 and start at 280's.ive done the searches but does this sound good for a starting point.and just in case , i didnt get the jet kit with the pipes cuz i didnt want to turn my air box into swiss cheese, i ride in way to much mud and water for that. thanks for any advice p.s. sorry for that 1st post thing . too many of these :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 24:1 is to much oil. The most that people run is 32:1. Some people run as little as 50:1 I run Klotz Supertechniplate. (it is a blend of 80% Synthetic oil 20% Benol Caster Racing oil.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 not quiet sure what you getting at here but i think 280 might be rich at your elevation.and why cant you believe its still running? i think 32-1 would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baddsheee Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I would go higher on the mains. Probably a 300 to do a plug check. It is always better to be rich than lean. You said cold weather so I'm assuming below freezing. Temps are important, what temps are you riding. If you drop in temp you go up on mains. Let us know.

You are at a pretty low elevation, and it is cold as you stated. 300's or 310's and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 If you still have a full airbox and JUST a snorkel removed, 280s will be a fine starting point...IF it is lean, it might be by a jet. If you removed your lid, then I agree, start with 310 and work your way down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
