New battery, new keys, no vroom.

I turned the petcock off and removed the gas line and used a rag to catch the gas, I also removed the brass hex on the bottom of the bowl to empty gas from that also. Then remove the screws and slowly lower the bowel. You should be able to read the numbers on the inter and main jet with a mirror. By the way do you by chance have an inline gas filter? Is the gas line one solid piece from the petcock to the carb.?

Will do when I get home. Not sure about the inline gas filter. Will gather that info later tonight after 8.

Btw I appreciate this help you guys are giving me.

The fuel line looks dry to me... (not that it is the issue) you could do with a new one though :up:

Is that the "orange" lookin line in my pic

 

[woodbutcher]

no, the "orange" line is the overflow. it started life clear and turns yellow/orange with age and exposure to gas. in Franco's pic, it is the braided hose with the blue fittings. and in the second picture, you will see that he has an inline filter. if you have one, make sure it is a "Pingle" brand. not much else will flow what is needed for the big inch.

Yup, I do have a Pingle now. (I was paranoid the glass one could break!)

The overflow (yellowish/orange) thing will not affect you.... I changed it for a blue one because mine was already VERY dry & dirty (Ugly!).

I got everything apart. Cleaned it all out. Its one hose

 

[francoblay1]

Take a few pics while you have it apart.

What jets do you have in there?

Do not lose a little blue o-ring !!!!! make sure you put that one back correctly! :up:

 

[AZBigDog]

I tried to post last night but I guess it didn't.
Got everything all cleaned. The main jet looks like it has the number 74 on it, other 2 I couldn't see anything. Made sure I didn't lose that blue o-ring. I pulled the fuel line off, turned petcock on, fuel flowed freely. I blew through the gas line and it took a tiny bit of effort but a lil big of gunk flew out of there. Put everything back together. Gonna start her this morning and see what happens. Started last night and she was idling very rough.

I've read and been told different things as far as starting the bike. Do I twist throttle twice, lift enricher, and start bike till it's warm? Or do I lift enricher, get it started and stay on the throttle and put the enricher down? Sorry for the noob question, I wanna do what's right for the bike.

Here's pics I took:

 

[francoblay1]

Sure they do look dirty.... that Inter jet definitely is. look at its discoloration! , you just need to use a screwdriver to take it out and you will see the numbers on its side.

Since you stated "lil big of gunk flew out of there" I would take all jets out and clean them thoroughly (or install new ones!) :up:

 

[francoblay1]

BTW, 74 main is stock.... if all is stock the Inter will be 29.5.

If you´ve got an aftermarket exhaust and/or aircleaner you should go up to 31-76, and get rid of the Bowl Vent Plug.

But for the time being... just do a THOROUGH clean up in there. (If I was you, after seeing the state of that Inter jet in your pics, I would install new jets).

My 2 cents.

 

[AZBigDog]

Will do. Just drove around the block. Same issue.

Just weird cause it dies (sounding like lack of gas) then I have to wait about 10 minutes before it starts again.

Will pull the jets out when I get off work and clean. I have some spray carb cleaner that says on the label it's good for jets and everything. Is that okay to use?

What exhaust & Aircleaner are you running? just curiosity....

 

[AZBigDog]

I'll take a look and post as soon as I get home Franco. Should be about 3pm here. (in about 7 hours)

Thank you for the info.

 

[AZBigDog]

Just a random thought but is it weird that this all happened AFTER the long trip that I took?

 

[francoblay1]

Yes, let them jets soak for awhile on it!!! :2thumbs:

I will be sleeping.... will look at it first thing in the morning. :up:

 

[AZBigDog]

Should I just put them in a bowl and soak them of scrub with a brush

 

[francoblay1]

In a bowl, then if you have a compressor blow all the shit out of them! :2thumbs: (What is needed is to get rid of all the shit inside their small orifices)

 

[AZBigDog]

Stock kerker 2 to 1 pipes and teardrop, pretty sure thats stock also.

Jets are soaking

 

[francoblay1]

Cool, keep us posted :2thumbs:

 

[AZBigDog]

Should I tune the carb first? One issue I've had is that unless the enriched is up, the engine doesn't stay on. Is it okay to leave that up till bike is warm or could that be part of my prob?
