Ok, I think I've got my jetting pretty much right on, except for the fact that the bike heats up extremely fast. After running for about 10-15 seconds, if you were to put a piece of solid steel on the headers, I guarentee it would melt. It is also hot all the way back on the pipe until you get to the muffler. OK, not that hot but I can tell you from experience that it is painful. It doesn't seem right to me that it would get that hot, especially that soon after start-up. Here is what I am at so far....
195main/45pilot(came stock)/needle on 3rd clip w/all washers underneath the clip(dynojet needle)/and 3 1/8th turns out.

So, I am thinking for it to get that hot at startup it must be lean??? Someone on here mentioned they use a 47.5 pilot jet(I think it was Jiminok). DO you think I should try that? Any and all help will be appreciated.

 

Anyone???

 

have you pulled a plug to see if it is white? and what about your fan,does it still work.

 

Everytime I pull out a plug, it is dark and wet. As for the fan, I have no clue, I haven't been able to ride it that long anywhere. Is there a way I can check without getting the bike extremely hot??

 

What elevation are you at. Your set up is the same as mine was when I had the stock carb @ 700 ft elevation. When I went to the local Mountains. @ 5000 ft or so I ran a 185 main. Black and wet is rich. Your bike doesn't smoke right?

 

Also forgot to say. My headers always get hot fast. I think they all do. Some even glow red at night.

 

OK....so maybe this is normal?? I am only at around 250ft elevation. I usually ride at sea level. If I rev it up just after I start it, it gives off a couple a puffs of black smoke, but nothing after that.

I just ran it for a few mins and then let it idle for at least five minutes when the fan came on. So.....my fan does still work.

 

does the woods pipe have the heat shield like the stock pipe?

 

Yep. I'm still using the stock heat shield.

 

The black color on the plug is a concern. The wetness could be fuel entering the comb chamber after the bike was shut down. You want more of a brown color on your plug. I would guess that your still rich. Prolly try a 190. Although Oregon temps are low. So sea level and cold temps a 195 should be spot on. Put in some new plugs and try a 190. Thats what I would do.
