Reply #46 - 04/16/16 at 08:41:43 What someone wants and what they are able to do may be slightly different things. If he just WANTS a straight pipe, but can't get it running,then at least Buy a Dyna, PROVE that the bike Will run, then swap out the pipe and jet until you get it. Right now it's a bucket of variables. Eliminate some unknowns.

Ok here's an update. Main jet at 130 compared to 145
Pilot at 52.5
Needle is in middle groove out of three
Main pilot air jet at 230
Secondary air her at 70
New mac performance muffler with baffles
Seems to be still overloading no matter where adjustment screw is. Took it for a ride and it won't rev up and can't break 45 mph. Accelerator pump and top rubber doo hicki is in good shape and petcock looks good. Ran on prime with no difference. Starting to irritate me so much I'm bout to take it to shop. What's wrong with this thing? Fouling plug out bad

The fact that your slide needle has alternate grooves for the clip, and the odd number on the main jet - indicates that somebody has installed a Dynajet kit in this carb. Somewhere there is a conversion table to see what that that main jet converts to in a Mikuni number.

Thanks Dave, you may have found the problem.

Dynojet may have crossed my mind, but that smaller number kept confusing me. I kept thinking that maybe Dynojet would show a bigger number. Undecided

I looked on EBay for slide stuff. There wasn't anything really definite, though I saw some kits with adjustable needles, I didn't quite find something definitely for the Savage. I guess I just overlooked it, simple as that.

Overlooking.... it's right there in front of you. You think of it, oh so lightly... with such subtlety, and then you go on looking and then you never really find it. Get's you every time.

Then again... Undecided

http://www.jetsrus.com/FAQs/FAQ_mikuni_vs_dynojet_vs_keihin_sizes.htm

I was right; Dynojet shows bigger numbers than Mikuni. A 130 Dynojet is equivalent to a 122.5 Mikuni, which is even worse. That's leaner than California. With a straight pipe, it might just die out under a fistful of throttle, don't ya think? Huh

Or... he could buy some proper jets for a straight pipe. Roll Eyes

Might be a little cheaper than a muffler. Either way may help. Regardless, If he's got a 130 main or smaller, assuming the air jets are stock, he needs a rejet anyway.

Just make sure you wear earplugs. Wink

And don't make the dead (or the living) too mad at you. Cheesy

Oh, and by the way, a straight pipe will generally cause you to lose power in the most practical portion of the power curve due to exhaust reversion. Our bike isn't cammed hot enough to take advantage of much top end that might be gained (if any is gained at all) from running a straight pipe.

You'd better be looking solely for sound, 'cause that's all yer gonna get.

I've been learning with these two videos. Not everything applies to our bikes as they're talking about Harleys. Our carb doesn't have an accelerator pump.
