Whats the big deal about pods and going lean?!?

[Detman101]

I just don't see how its possible...

A lot of people on the GSResources board have said that if you put pods on the carbs without rejetting it will burn your valves from being too lean.

What I'm thinking is that if you richen the mixture you shouldn't have to worry about being lean right? I mean, after all its just a matter of compensating for the extra airflow right?

Is there something I'm missing?

If you're not going to rejet how will you make the mixture richer In every throttle position including WOT

Oh....yeah....crap....

I forgot about that.
The mixture screws only control the idle mixture right?

Okay, I think I get it now.

Thank you,

If you click this -> http://www.f6rider.com/VRCC/tech/carb101.htm link and read the whole article you will atleast get some basic knowledge of how those things work. BTW I liked the pic of you next to your reassembled carbs, you look so happy!

Thanks Robin, i'm glad you liked the photos. I was happy till I got the carbs on the engine and realized that the airbox wouldn't fit in after it. I guess i'll wait to get it running when I get my stage-3 Jet kit and pod filters. There ain't no way that the carbs can fit in there with that stupid airbox in the way.
