i have no clue what a "pod" is, nor am I sure that my rambling will help you... but that's never stopped me before. Apparently, and I hope the big thumpers will correct me if i'm steering you the wrong way, there is a multitude of nonsense that will make your bike do strange things. since our bikes are kind of similar, and mine runs amazing (thank goodness for the big thumpers on this site) i have posted a picture of mine just as a plane visual of the types of different setups that work. First, I do not have a raptor petcock, In fact I have no idea what kind of petcock it is,, But the important thing to note is that there is no vacuum connection on it. I plugged that little vacuum hose at the carburetor. Secondly, With the k&n cone filter and the Jardine exhaust she is breathing pretty freely. I believe this setup or something similar is the way to go. Thirdly, I've gone through the carburetor with a fine tooth comb like 6 or 7 times,, getting familiar with it, playing with the whole jet needle white spacer mod deal, and messing with the Jets to find the right combo. I believe this is necessary to make the connections mentally between how your bike is running and what physical modifications have been made. for the longest time I could not get up to freeway speed for more than a mile without it dying due to gas starvation because my bro that had it before me messed with the Jets incorrectly. Most recently my bike ran horrible at low rpm and even had to be push started (thanks to Dane for being a super human with super mutant strength). It turned out to be a bad regulator. it took some troubleshooting with verslagen1 to get that straightened out (thnx versy). Just some stuff to think about. Don't fret, we will get it straitend out.
