If you were / are running that rich you probably have a ton of carbon in the motor. Have you run a cleaner in the gas, sprayed it in the carb, or both, to get the insides cleaned up? You need to do that before you try to get the jetting right. My .00002 cents anywho.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #195661 LokoTripper (User) No officer it's street legal . . .

Run the bike at fast idle. Spray MMO into the carb throat for about 30 seconds. Then lower the idle and spray until the bike dies. Let it stand for an hour or so or overnight. Start and see if it runs any better.

The answer is only when something is changed that affects how the engine runs. As the stock bike comes everything is fine as long as it remains stock. When we change the inlet and exhaust to improve the airflow then we need to rejet to accomodate the changes. As long as nothing else is changed that affects how the engine runs then it doesn't have to be rejetted again.

I will do that , to spray MMO can I use any kind of spray nozzle ?? or does it have to be an specific one ?? you think this will give me more mileage ?? how about if my friend takes apart my carburetor and cleans it ?? is there anything else I can use to clean a carburetor ?? perhaps something that they sell in Autozone ??   Logged     E-Mail : LokoTripper at Gmail.com Cash , Gas or Ass . . .

Platinum Boarder Posts: 7911 Re:How often do you have to rejet ?? 3 Years ago   If you are going to tear it down any of the carb cleaners will work,just be sure to use compressed air to blow thru the small orfices. I'd try spraying the MMO first.just get a small plastic spray bottle.

If that doesn't work then I tear it down.   Logged     Mike   The administrator has disabled public write access.
