Jetting!!! Again and again and again!

<< < (14/120) > >>

kawdude:
300+ for stator depending on the dealer.  Yes, weak spark would cause the engine not to run correctly and throw off the ability to jet it.  I would think this issue resolves the mid and and above lack of power but will it help the idle??? I don't know.  What does 33/100 mean?  Is this 33% of what it should?

Hope this fixes the issues but test it before you take it.  Did the dealer test the jet job and realized there were additional problems?

gowen:
33% is what I ment. :-) I'm hoping this will fix it.

Folke:
For me it looks to be a Ignition coil trouble not stator,you have to check what he have done, there will be much moore expensiv to change stator insted of coil.

Sharc:
Sorry to hear your stator went out....My 2002 died 3 months after I bought it. 30 days at the dealership and 4-5 phone calls got the part free and cost me $150 labor...
My bike ran lean prior to dying completely....I have main jets from 165 to 180....Got to know the carb and air boot real well....
Anything can happen when the electronics are dying....I think mine varied with temperature too. Drove me nuts for weeks. Hope you get yours buttoned up and back on the trail soon.

kawdude:
Hope that fixes the issue.

So are they checking resistance of the coil or output.  Does the service manual talk about the output???  Unfortunately, I guess I need to look at mine since it exhibits similar issues.

Gowen, just so it's clear.  Is the problem you're having at the low end with idle and response or top end.
