Kick-backs for dicussion...

Mine is a 94 and I have the same problem. What I noticed is that it's worse now that I put on the carb spacer and flywheel wieght. It makes me think that mine is related to a leak. Nothing else changed...
AZSingletracker:
Just a thought when you mention the cage and spacer. When you cut the intake boot down, did you nick the small factory "bead"seal on it? It would be a very easy place to develop a small intake leak. Even more so with V-Forces recommended "hack saw blade" method of cutting it down.
Personally, I didn't like the very little narrow factory seal on the boot and opted for an additional gasket at that point for a total of three gaskets at the reed spacer, cage and boot connection. Anyone else notice this same thing at the boot seal area?
banshee_srb:
look like a leaking needle seat and too mush advence on timing!!!!take a look at the back plate if not loose by vibration or (hot point) in combustion chamber!!!! engine pingking????
sorry for my bad english!!!! :oops:

I didn't cut anything...what was I supposed to cut??? I did use the provided Moose gasket between the boot and the spacer and another between the spacer and the jug.
When I had it apart I went thru the carb. I noticed that needle jet button still had spring but would not hold the floats up. Is this normal.
mikesmith:
I"m not sure if the springs still intact how it wont hold the float up?Is your float level set right?I found mine worked best set a little higher than listed in manual and cleared up a rich condition I couldn't get rid of with jetting.Does your carb overflow with the bike only leaned over slightly?If in doubt it's not a bad idea to replace the float needle and set your float level,try it on the high side of specifications.
