bansheeman_05 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well I am still messing around with the jetting on my Shee. I have an 05 with Bills Pipes and Silencers, stock airbox w/ snorkle removed, stock filter, 28mm Keihin PWK's and I run in Central PA (about 1600 ft) at temps anywhere from 50-90. Anyways, I have it running pretty good IMO with 150 mains, 45 pilots, and the needle clip one spot towards the needle point. I have been messing with thing forever and just want to get it right. It sometime fires on the first kick, but sometimes it sounds like it is sucking for air or something and dies out, and I have to choke it. After about 10 seconds I unchoke it and it revs fine. It pulls well at higher RPM's, but seems a little hesitant off the start. I know it was rich with the needle mid clip so I moved it up and it was a lot better. It also seems to run pretty hot. I know the pipes are going to get hot and I am more than likely just worrying over nothing, but just throwing that out there. I checked my plugs after my ride today and they were dark and slightly wet. I know I am running a little rich, but why is it tough to start every once in awhile. Does anyone have and recommendations? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Try a 48 pilot jets. I ran 45's in mine but went back to 48's It starts a lot better with the 48's. I would have to pull both choaks at 50-60 deg. 48's will fire right up with no choak at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
