Which jets should I buy?

[x only performance]

So, my bike has been having the stalling problem. Not vapor lock, gas in the oil... I am going to be tending to this problem but in the process I will be replacing the airbox with the K&N pod filter, removing the Kleen air system, and installing block-off plate. I already have the MGP growler exhaust and two shims for the needles.

I would like to know what jets I should get and how to fine tune the carbs.
Anyone got some info for me?

check it out

Don't forget 2 check ur float height

you need to tune the bike. that means trying different jets and seeing how they perform, changing trying some more, rinse repeat. starting with someone elses numbers is fine to start but it will not be correct. the correct jetting requirement changes depending on atmospheric conditions that vary by location. it wont be the same.

also im pretty sure gas in the oil would not make the engine stall... maybe seize eventually or something but stall?

Might want to figure out your stalling issues before you start adding performance parts and jetting into the mix.

From what I've read on here I need to rebuild the petcock, check and adjust the float, check the needles and seats, and check the diagrams. Any other suggestions? The oil smells like gas.

when does it stall?

Alex - I was riding for about two miles in average temps and the bike slowly died. Tried popping the gas cap with no result. Started walking the bike home and started it about three minutes into my walk. It would idle but if I gave it and throttle it would die past 3k rpm. Idled all the way home. Blew flames out the tailpipe when i reved it. Any ideas?

When I rev past 3k rpm. In or out of gear it dies it

sounds like a clogged main jet.

did it sit for a couple weeks? maybe havent been riding it a whole lot lately and its been more than a month since you put new gas in it?

[choneofakind]

I think the gassy oil and the dying are unrelated.

i had been riding on a daily basis

if it was flooding from a leaking float valve and/or petcock it wouldn't idle because it would still be flooded. on old bikes the needle jet can get worn down and turn more oval than circle and can make the jetting rich as it transitions to WOT but i wouldn't expect that from a carb so new. that happens in like 20 year old carbs that have like hundreds of thousands of miles. it is possible the diaphram is damaged...

have you checked to make sure nothing is blocking the intake? people say the stock snorkel feeds from the tail which has crap in it (tools, manuals, etc) that can fall down and block it. if nothing drastic happened its odd that a part would just break if you have been riding it and taking care of it.

do you have any dents in your gas tank? rust can form on the inside and break off into the jets clogging them. when was the last time you did your valves? do you have good compression?

can we all just take a second and bow down to Mr. Alex.s...or as i will be calling him from now on "the brain"

i checked around the snorkel area tonight and found a lighter covering about 2/3 of the opening...removed it and put the bike back together. i will be testing it tomorrow and i will let you guys know how it went

Thanks Alex.s

Well that explains the dying. And the petcock/float valves explains the gas in oil, making them separate issues.


soooo this guy was right too
