#495381 shacky (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 835 Re:accelerator pump squirt 1 Year ago   This reminds me of recent Ron White comedy hour my wife recorded. He talks about the mucho fancy toilet in his hotel room. Has a button with picture of man seated and water shooting as his butt. He hits the button and sure enough up comes a stream and it's center right on his bung hole. Then he notices a button that says oscilate and he says why not?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #495553 rooftop (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:accelerator pump squirt 1 Year ago   After letting the bike warm up,(a little 3 minutes)my 2007 roadstar with stock carb,never choked,backfired or blipped. It seems to me, that my bike, likes to have the accelerator pump squirt broken up by hitting the floor of the venturi.My thoughts are that this is allowing the squirt to atomize quicker.This is the first time it ran without any issues since I bought it 2 months ago.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #495570 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5279 Re:accelerator pump squirt 1 Year ago   And what were the temps 2 months ago as compared to now. Temps play a big role in jetting and atomization of the gas. A carbed bike should be jetted in the temps of your prime ride season. Once that is established, the only thing necessary would be an pilot screw adjustment.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #495640 rooftop (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:accelerator pump squirt 12 Months ago   Erbman02, I'm getting the impression that you don't agree with my attempts to alter the location of the squirt. I decided to warm up my bike (10-12 miles of riding)then changed the squirt back to where it was, and my back firing and burps were back(not as bad as when it was cooler out)so i ran it for another 10 miles still the problem persists.I then changed the squirt back to my new found location and after 1/4 mile no problems. Maybe I'm not the carb mechanic you are but I'm trying.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #495644 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

BTW it isn't an exact science with these things.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/05/25 16:05 By Curt.   My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #495674 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5343 Re:accelerator pump squirt 12 Months ago   Don't let Erbman fool you, he loves to tinker so much, he ran out of things to do on the stock carb and replaced it..... Stick with the program rooftop There's an audience. You'll have to take a bow when your finished. I don't remember if I mentioned, but I put the nut back on top of the stop, and backed the duration screw about 1 1/2 turns off the nut. The response is back. I think its a good compromise between response and mileage. I hadn't read anything regarding aiming the accelerator squirt before. next time I'm messing with the carb, I'll follow your tips. Thanks for sharing the progress.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #495725 scottw (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1851 Re:accelerator pump squirt 12 Months ago   rooftop wrote: Erbman02, I'm getting the impression that you don't agree with my attempts to alter the location of the squirt.

Maybe I'm not the carb mechanic you are but I'm trying. =================== Like i have been saying for past couple yrs here in RSC that when you have an off idle stumble/hesitation when hitting the thorttle on a stock R* carb that an out of adj accel pump could often be the issue like when: * Aceel pumps not activating/shooting fuel at same time throttle plate starts to move & needs to be adjusted. * Accel pumps not giving enough of a fuel shot/needs adj for longer duration of shot. * Accel pump isn't working at all needing repair. * Or as Rooftop found playing with accel pump shot angle that it also affected his motor which was a nice find/good additional tweak we should add to our carb tuning tips thanks to RoofTops tuning work.

I have been getting some results altering the position of the squirt. This really does not make any sense,is it possible that the orifice on my accelerator pump squirt tube is to big? As you and many others have said that your ride MUST be warmed up to tune. Most of the time my rodie will not warm up by the time I'm back home Tuning the lower temp ride is important!Please don"t laugh is my HOLE TO BIG How can I tell if my squirt stream is to thick?   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/05/27 19:25 By rooftop.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
