    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Running too lean

okey, now i have installed the dynojet kit.. and it is still running lean.. wtf is this??

it got a little better than with the sigma racing kit though.. it stops revving on around 3000rpm, especially downhill.. uphill it's running much better, with much more rpm..

shall i try adjusting the float height, or the needle clip position??? any suggestions??

Have you adjusted the valves yet? The valve adjustment is normally the first thing recommended on the maintenance list to make sure the motor is "breathing" properly before re-jetting the carbs. Have you replaced the o-rings/intake boots? Have you dipped the carbs yourself or verified all passages are squeaky clean and all the carb o-rings are in good shape?

Have you also verified the float height is within spec and the emulsion tubes are clean?

After that plug chops to verify the jet sizes you are using is next, main jet first, pilots second, and needle setting last as I recall.

I know lots of questions but your best bet IMHO is to start with the valve adjustment and go from there not missing anything. Carbs are not difficult but you have to do them one step at a time without taking any shortcuts.
 
Think of the valves and carb cleaning like a pyramid.

Valves are the base If your valves are tight, nothing you do at the carb level matters. Indeed, if you adjust the valves, it changes the vacuum pull, on which your jetting relies. Even perfect carbs have to be resynched after a valve adjustment.

Once your valves are good, you know compression is there. Remember, valves are either right or wrong. There is no other result there.

Next, IMHO, is ignition and timing. These generally need no attention unless you have electrical problems, but ignition is easy and quick to verify. Not quite as binary as valves, but unless you are trying to tune timing at the fringes, most ignition situations are basically right or wrong.


With compression and spark rocking, you get to check air and fuel.
