Title: moved....do I really need more air? Post by residualsilver on 06/30/13 at 20:56:12 So I moved from Milwaukee to Westminster(just outside Denver). I haven't got my bike to turn over... thinking it might be flooded/battery. the bigger question is do i need to mess with the carb? if so can anyone point me in the right direction? :-? |

Title: Re: moved....do I really need more air? Post by Serowbot on 06/30/13 at 22:30:29 Just get it started first... then, take a ride around and see how it runs... If it feels okay. it's okay,... if it feels sluggish, or backfires like something ain't right,.... ... well,.. you know... ;)... ...(actually,.. the higher elevation will suck away a pony or two... That's to be expected... You'll feel it yourself, if you try a hike)... Thin air... ... but, just see if the bike seems relatively smooth, and isn't totally out of it's element... ...(if you have stock jetting, it may even run a bit better)... If you don't want to rejet,... try slapping a Harley shorty on there... that might lean you up back to normal... ;D... |

Title: Re: moved....do I really need more air? Post by MileHiRider on 07/01/13 at 16:00:39 I live in Littleton, south of Denver but just as high, altitude wise. I have a stock '04 Savage and it runs just fine with no adjustments. I frequently ride in the mountains up to 10,000 feet and it STILL runs just fine, does loose a little power though.... |

Title: Re: moved....do I really need more air? Post by RC on 07/01/13 at 16:11:36 I live at 2500 feet and ride between home and about 3500, my stock bike runs just fine. I backed the idle screw out to reduce backfire but that's it. I'd just ride that bike until it acts up. |

Well that is what it means to me - but my wife uses that term when she can't get the engine to start.......even if the starter motor functions. For the sake of this forum: Won't turn over - Means the starter won't rotate the engine when the starter button is pushed. Won't Fire - Means the starter turns the engine over but there is no explosion and "no joy" as our United Kingdom folks say. |

Title: Re: moved....do I really need more air? Post by residualsilver on 07/02/13 at 18:19:15 wont turn as in cranks fine and sounds like it wants to start firing right but only get one, two or maybe mayybe three fires and no go. . . the gas is good, battery is charged up full. im messing around with it more this weekend.... I'm draining the bowl and see if that helps. |

Title: Re: moved....do I really need more air? Post by apache snow on 07/02/13 at 18:34:36 So after saying it won't turn over, turns out it turns over just fine. It just does not start. :-? |

FYI, I live at 6500' elevation (see my signature block for bike info). The jetting is stock in my original carb. My bike runs great here like this. |
