Dang Lyn, by the time you're done it's going to be like a brand new one!!! lol....Good job. Sounds like you should have it this time!!

See, that Corona helped didn't it?? lol lol

 

ehh....auto and motorcycle is a bit different

 

So I contacted the previous owner about the jets. He changed it up to go with the size recommendations for the FMF fatty he put in there. I personally want a gnarly in there, and eventually I'll cough up the dough for it. But right now, I just need the right balance to get me going. I'll be checking up on the recommendations across the board and maybe i can find a compromise where im not as rich yet I can keep up with my pipe.

And even though i never cracked open that Corona, I got my Mikes lemonade (helped a bunch)

 

Yes, it does. It does not help with re assembly.. But it sure helps to stop you from beating the ever lovin dog **** outta something!! lol lol..


Did you get that thing going?

 

I'm not going yet... I'm patiently waiting as my dealer gets my jets in. Once I replace them I'll see where I stand.
In the mean time I added new hand guards to get ready for trails.

I should get my jets in by monday at the latest, so I'll give you all an update then.

 

Did you clean your air filter?

 

Air filter is clean. With all these problems, I went and got a brand new one, just put it in last week.

 

Update Update Update!!!


I just put in the correct pilot jet in my bike. I put the 62 to the side and put in a 55. Sadly I found no improvement.
But heres what I found.
The bike can start up without a problem now... but the idle is still all over the place. It starts out good, a normal steady idle... then it drops low low low and stays there for a good minute. I imagine my gas filling the carb and draining super quick til its almost dry, then filling up again trying to save it from stalling. Thats what it sounds like...
When ever it drops low it smokes a bunch until it rises and stabilizes at a normal idle. I also found that when i lean the bike on the kickstand and its at a low idle, when i stand it up right it picks up fairly quickly. This is making me think I have a float problem. Yet, I already tested the floats (no leaks) and I leveled them out. I can't think of anything else.
Any other ideas?

At this point, I'm just riding anyways, I'm gonna go through a lot more spark plugs, and I have to keep my rpms up higher than I should if it was working right... but at least its rideable.
