SuzukiSavage.com - 155 main jet, no start

zer0sk8ordie YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 12 Riverside, CA Gender:	155 main jet, no start 10/14/12 at 13:39:09 I got my lancer jet set, changed the main jet to a 155 and I took the spacer out on the slide needle. The bike started for about 5 seconds really rough, then died. Now it won't start at all. I messed with the mix screw but still nothing. Only mods done are k&n cone filter, and I drilled holes in my baffle. Any help or tips would be great. Thanks

Next do one mod at a time. start with the jet. since you put in a 155, you musta started with a 145, try a 150 first.

Yes it ran fine. It was completely stock before though. I will try a smaller main jet. Is it possible to screw that small plate thing in wrong when taking the spacer out on the slide neede?

Yes it is. If you put it in upside down you don't have the holes you need for air to get over the slide.

Replace? No I didn't notice a washer under the stock jet..

It may not have come out when you removed the jet,(lucky you) or more likely it did and you didn't notice it (not so lucky). You will have to go back in and check these things, and Versey is right, with minimal mods a 150 should do you fine.

Like it wants to start but just won't. My next question would be the 2 hoses on each side of the carb. Those are just breathers correct? I don't have them connected to anything.

You didn't give alot of info... But this may help.
It may seem like a silly thing to say but did you prime the carb by turning the petcock to prime for a few seconds? Is the hose to the back of the petcock on tight & the fuel line on proper like?

I'm no moto genious but I've had my carb off 6 times since may- messin with 1 thing or another... the tech section holds the key from the great folks here who know what they're doing

I'm assumeing you took the carb off the bike since you were working on the bottem & top of the carb & went to a cone filter. KISS comes to mind in this case. Changeing your main jet probably isn't the problem- if thats all you did on the bottem of the carb (It'll run like crap- but it'll run). Your worries are probably on top. Is there a washer under the-clip on the needle? Is the small spring under the washer? Is the dimple down on the disk that holds it all in place & can you see that the two holes are about half covered? Is the diaphram under the top cover in right fitting into the tab before you screw it down?

In the same vein of the 07s40scotty's post.. I just had mine apart to do the spacer mod and realized I had dropped the spring at some point, and after putting the first screw in the disk realized that I had the disk in wrong.

Did you clean up the carb with carb cleaner while you had it apart? I understand getting carb cleaner on the main diaphragm and TEV diaphragm will damage them.

The solution is simple, if you make a mod and it don't run after... return it to the previous condition to verify you didn't make an unintentional change... left out a spring, misplaced a washer, etc.

Note: going from a 145 to a 155 and removing the white spacer is a major change. Always adjust the main jet 1st w/o spacer change. Once you get the top end and the bottom end to where you're happy, then adjust the spacer.

The two holes should be half covered? I put it so they are totally uncovered. I will pull the carb again and try it how you described. Thanks
