    Angry Is this the clutch slipping??

    Hey guys, i just installed a 10.5:1 wiseco and a web cam in my 350x. I just finished putting this thing back in time and now when I take it out and ride it it wants to rev up really fast and stay in the same rpm through the gears. Kinda acts like the clutch isn't grabbing. Could that be what it is? Or maybe valves are way out of adjustment??? I'm really lost on this one so any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot. Later.

    Ok- you must have the webcam wired wrong!!!!!

    But seriously- Increased compression = increased vacuum= Increased need for more fuel. I would aim at a jet change first.
    Buy American! Unless your only option is a HARLEY.

    Lol. Do you really think it could be something as simple as a main jet???? I mean it really doesn't feel like a jetting problem. But thats just me.

    does your engine scream away if you run out of fuel? Kinda same situation. Main jet -or possibly pilot sucked up some junk. At worst -a vacuum leak- check around carb mounting area with some carb cleaner. if idle changes -you found your suspect.

    Also check your exhaust headers. Make sure they haven't come loose. Had that happen twice on the 200x and it felt like a bad clutch both times.
