Once it heats up the leaks get smaller.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #320531 Crazy frenchMan (User) Giver one more time! Fresh Boarder Posts: 54 Re:bike not running right when cold 1 Year, 6 Months ago   will the propane trick work to find the leaks?   Logged     life is good with air under your feet   The administrator has disabled public write access. #320538 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

Did you do some work on the bike recently? Has there been a change in temps lately since it is now getting colder in most places. If there has been a change in temps, this could be normal, especially since it acts and performs ok when warmed up. Keep in mind, it's a carb, and probably tuned during your riding season, it's sensitive to temps, you just might have to adjust the pilot screw a bit richer to compensate for the colder start-up temps. Gas doesn't atomize as well in cold temps, so it takes more gas to get enough to atomize to alleviate the lean conditions   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #321389 Crazy frenchMan (User) Giver one more time! Fresh Boarder Posts: 54 Re:bike not running right when cold 1 Year, 6 Months ago   So i had a intake leak I fixed that and then the bike was running crazy rich pulled the carb apart and the needle that was in there was not stock it looked like one for a dirt bike with the 5 groves in it. the problem is that the main jet leaks fuel at idle because the needle is to short with the clip at the top grove it is still 1/4 inch away from the jet to stop the fuel at idle. so i am going to try to pick up up a stock needle tomorrow and then reject it.   Logged     life is good with air under your feet   The administrator has disabled public write access. #321390 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

I will also look and see what jets I have and send you a stock 182.5 and any others that are close to it for your use.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #321393 Crazy frenchMan (User) Giver one more time!

Glad you can use them I have been hanging on to a lot of my old 40 CV carb stuff just incase some one needed them. BTW I have tons of it!   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
