Jetting!!! Again and again and again!
KXcam22:
The 55 worked out nice. Ran clean all the way from 1100' to 6000'. Starts 1 kick although in the cold (about 2deg C.) at 6000' I had to use the choke to start once the engine had cooled down. Suprised me at first but probably shows that the jetting is correct. Should be getting some snow to ride in soon. Cam.

Wow!!! It's still in the 90's here. :-D

This post is great. It's like the energizer bunny..it keeps going and going and going. I havent' had much time to mess with mine but I have noticed that the starting has become lousy and since Rick has built the estart conversion yet I have to fix this. Could be the jetting but lots of gas coming out the overflow and I haven't touched the float to cause this. Possible needle seat is shot. Anyway another issue that I'm seeing is that when the bike does start it races. Slide is not sticking. Would flooding cause this? It's odd i would have developed a airleak so quickly. Keep the info coming. This is a great post!!!

The weather changes and so does your jetting with it,air screw ok?
gowen:
This is what I do, if I have to screw my air screw out past 2 1/2 turns, I go one step down on the pilot and so forth.
