Reving at idle questions...

**chris200x** · 08-30-2006, 04:07 PM

Sorry to dissapoint.

I was just wondering if I got an accurate enough reading on the plug. I did go WOT but only for a few seconds as I was running out of room quickly. And I'm not sure if you have to be going in the highest gear and whatnot...

I have a copper gasket and some slow jets on order (will be in tomorrow) I hafta get this up and running for this coming weekends trike ride.

Maybe I'll try to put the stock jet back in and just mess with the clip. OR worse case senerio is put the stock pipe back on.

chris put a milk crate under the rear end of the trike and just run it in the garage.

Make sure there is play in your thumb throttle, what your describing is a too tight throttle

Hope i dont have to go threw this, i want to get it right first time or close. Keep it up you should have it running well soon.

I pulled the header off just to double check to see if there was a gasket in there or not. NOPE!

I discovered a nice amount of black soot in one spot on the outside of the header. I'm guessing this means there is indeed a leak there...

Like stated before take some tin foil roll it up with like a pencile get it thick. Then turn it into a circle so its like a gasket cut it and fit it tto right size put it in there tight it down your done. You cant just drop a notch to comply with the exhaust to get all out of it. You have to rejet and you will see a difference. I guess ima ganna get mine tommrow its kinda late now,.

Homie don't play that redneck riggin game..

OEM copper gasket for me thanks.

Actually Huffa heare on the boards has an SX with a supertrapp and uni filter and this is the same thing he did. (dropped the clip a notch) His trike runs great!

The parts place said maybe tomorrow now for the gasket.

After telling me today it will be in.

But I planned on pickin up some jets while i was there.

Once I get that in and the airbox and everything back on I will know for sure... I'll probably have this thing apart 5 more times before Sunday's ride.

Ok ofcourse it will run fine with just droppin the neddle. Mine does right now. But the whole point of putting an aftermarket exhaust it for performance and sound. Now when i had my stock exhaust i used to take my freind off the launch thru 4 gears then he pass me. Then when i put the cobra slip on , he just took me at launch and left me seriously by a mile. When before i was right bhind him. So people tell me it cause you have to rejet to bigger sizes and you will feel a big gain. So im going to soon and what im saying to you is your not getting full performance out of your pipe by just droppin the clip.

Well if thats the case if we come down saturday night then maybe we can throw a 350x carb on that so you can have some real fun for a few minutes

**chris200x** · 08-31-2006, 09:29 PM

Sorry nate... But saturday night is reserved for some hardcore power drinkin!

I'm starting to get very very frustrated with this thing... I put the next bigger slow jet in along with the bigger main jet. It stopped reving but now it boggs when I hit the throttle...

Anyone got any more ideas?

OK then.. I am stumped.

Which one of these explananations (dammits jetting thread) does this situation fall under?

And what would be the best posible solution?

Sputtering: This isn't exactly a technical term but is commonly used to describe how an engine runs when jetted too rich. For example, using too large of a main jet will cause more fuel to enter the combustion chamber than it can efficiently burn. This will result in a "sputter" at full throttle. It could best be described as a rapid misfire. Note: a rich condition is not the only possible source of this type of problem.

Bogging: Again, not a technical term but commonly used. Bogging can be a result of a lean setting where not enough fuel is entering the combustion chamber for the motor to run properly. In some instances this can cause the machine to "bog" as if it were actually running out of gas. Note: a lean condition is not the only possible source of this type of problem.

Before I go tearing this thing all aprt again I would like to get some opinions on what to try so I dont have to rip into it again.

**Tri-ZNate** · 08-31-2006, 10:13 PM

take the airbox lid off and see if its just too rich

and adjust your clip to where it was before

**chris200x** · 08-31-2006, 10:15 PM

Well I don't even have the box on there yet.

what a PITA!!! Oh and I put the clip back into the second position....

**Tri-ZNate** · 08-31-2006, 10:22 PM

ok so you put the bigger slow jet in and now it idles, however it boggs when you hit the throttle?

I really dont think your main jet is too big since guys have run the 138main on the 350x carbs.

If you ease into the throttle does it break up or just die?

Ha know what? I'll bt your running too lean with no air box. does it even have the filter on? Throw the box back on and see if it gets better or easier is to put your hand over the intake to the carb to cut off air and richen it up first. I would try this Idea first

**chris200x** · 08-31-2006, 10:30 PM

will do. It such a PITA to get these rubber boots back on the carb and airbox. I'm gonna go try this again...

Hey! It's only when I nail the throttle.. if I ease into it it's fine. wtf?!?!

**chris200x** · 08-31-2006, 10:32 PM

Ya know I'm starting to think that maybe not having thatcopper gasket in the header was causing the revving. It's in there now and no revving... IDK.....
