cabby Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Slow action throttle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwoodlief Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 maybe too rich of a mix? I find that if i follow what gasgas says and mix 50:1 my bike hates it.. loads up all the time, etc.. which in turn would give you a 'sluggish' feel..

copemech Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Is this a dellorto carb bike? If so, ck to insure it is not only clean, but the jetting is correct as many times stock jetting is far too weak, at a #30 or so pilot. Getting up to 33-36 range can make a big difference!

jse Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Could you elaborate a little bit more Not sure which carb s in it but i'll check. Chances are you have the Dellorto PHBL and jetting for sea level up a couple thousand feet altitude should be in the neighborhood of: MAIN: 118 (116 OK, NOTHING SMALLER!) PILOT: 36 (38 OK) NEEDLE: D36 (3rd, or 2nd CLIP POSITION DOWN FROM TOP) FUEL SCREW: 3.5 TURNS OUT (screw on the side of the carb closest to the engine) FLOAT HEIGHT: ARMS IN LEVEL PLANE WITH FLOAT BOWL BASE (PARALLEL) Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
