This friday will be the day. I just need to pick up that clutch cable and some brown riding pants and ill be good to go. Ill let you all know how it turns out
sandblaster:
Looking forward to it.
climber05:
Well it fired up after about 6 kicks. I tested it shortly on the road in front of my house. Not really a good test ground at all. I hit second gear seemed to bog in the power band not sure enough though. I think im going to take it to the bike shop and get them to go over it just to be that much more sure everything is in check.
sandblaster:
If it wasn't fully warmed up they can bog especially so if your jetting is off.
What is your jetting and altitude?
Did you use old or new reeds?
What type?
climber05:
The jetti g is a 155 main im going for 168 I think. And low end is a 60 going to switch out for a 58. Im 2200 feet above sea level but I also ride at sea level aswell. I took it out today were I ciuld actually open it up and it was fast for sure. It needed to warm up and get revved a few times but it seems to work good. Im also going to bump the mix down to 40:1 after I burn this tank of 32:1 im running a boyesen rad valve iridium plug fmf gold series.
