Title: hot pipe Post by sparkett on 12/22/06 at 04:44:34 Question, took her for a quick spin to warm up to tweek the carb( still running rich). The pipe was glowing red inside, looked like a brake light in the pipe from the back. took 5 min and it just dimmed down and went out like a campfire. now what? |

In my experience its a lean fuel condition. Others may be able to elaborate more. I'd start by adjusting the air fuel screw out. Do you know how many turns you are currently out?? |
Title: Re: hot pipe Post by sparkett on 12/22/06 at 16:27:29 I was 2 1/2 out keep turning it in but still black smoke, if i rich it up it runs ratty. Think she has a drinking problem ;Dbut she feels good so i guess next its a rejet the whole carb ::) |

Im in the panhandle and run a 155 main and a 55 pilot with no spacer. If you have not rejetted it will always be lean. Its not a difficult process and I did mine without removing the carb. |
Title: Re: hot pipe Post by TVR on 12/22/06 at 17:49:54 I have that same setup, except I have about a half spacer (two washers). Still get an occasional backfire between gears. I wonder if I should remove all of the spacer? |
Title: Re: hot pipe Post by georgekathe on 12/22/06 at 20:29:35 don't forget altitude to take into consideration with rejetting - I'm @ 4,500 feet with the mods as can see below. still have odd bang on deceleration sometimes but have not tweaked air/fuel screw yet. what I'm saying is besides the alt. here what might work for one person may not work on another's bike with their muffler, etc. |
