i have pods and its very hard to start

[rampimpin]

does anybody have a source to just buy a stock airbox i think it would just save on headaches im not looking for performance just want a good running bike

Before you do that, clean the carbs and I will walk you through setting the fuel mixture screws so it will idle. What Ed (Nessism) is talking about is actually riding the bike. We can get it running without changing the air filters; I have been investigating and it can be done. Once you get it idling correctly we can discuss the next step.
Having said that, it is critical that you document the numbers on both the main jets and the pilot jets for each carburetor when you rebuild them.

ok i just didnt no if it would.just be easier to get a stock airbox but im ordering the kits on wend when i get paid and we shall go.from there

alright i went to a friend that builds harleys has his own shop here in town he had told me to try some air filter oil its a spray apparently that slows down the air getting to the carbs has anyone heard of this and if so did it work at all

Sure, but when the spray oil thins out, the bike will run lean and you likely won't know till it's too late. You need decent pods and correct jetting to get it to run well above idle.

ok i just wasnt sure he told me to try that and see what happens but im pulling the carbs off this weekend and try some new jets any suggestions on jet sizes i no theres probably another thread on here but id figure id ask

I vote for putting the airbox back on if you can find one. Aftermarket exhaust is pretty easy to tune for but pods can be a real headache and you'll end up with worse mileage most likely.

i think i might just try and go with the stock airbox i just got to get my hands on one

[rampimpin]

i took the carbs off today and the pilots are #40 and mains where #115

[SqDancerLynn1]

Those are stock sizes. if you want to run those pods It is trial and error

[rampimpin]

do you have any.suggestions on where to start maybe 120 for the main

[tkent02]

Maybe bigger.

[rampimpin]

alright i have a question i was told.to try a 127.5 but when i look for jets all i seem to find is a 125 or a 130 do they make a 127.5

[GSScoobie]
