Had the carb mount filter off of the bike, and started it up. When cracking the throttle, I noticed a mist of gas blowing out? Is this normal?

 

Are you saying you fired up the bike with no filter? If so, did you melt your piston yet?

 

BTW if you were looking at it with no filter, and no lid, it is prolly the carb not creating enough vacuum to work. Im pritty sure the DS is a vacuum carb or something like that.

 

Why would this melt the piston? And yes i have no lid either. I dont usually run the bike without a filter, but i wasn't out riding it either. Just giving her a start after not riding for about a month.

 

it's normal, it won't melt the piston if your not running it for hours it would just cause a lean condition

 

My voices tell me that the "mist of gas" is caused by the cam overlap. They say that the intake valves are actually starting to open when the engine is on the exhaust stroke and the exhaust valves are actually open briefly suring the intake stroke. Acording to them when the engine is on exhaust stroke it pushes the gas air mix out some causing the mist but also sucks some of that mixture into the exhaust; my guess is that happens right before the piston hits TDC but I'm not them so I have no idea; the intake valve then opens and the mix that was sucked into the exhaust gets sucked in with the mist that is also coming from the intake, I am going to assume the exhaust valve is open for only like 4% or so after TDC, but again I have no idea. They claim to me that this is why cars with a real lopie idle(FOMCLMFAO lopie, them voices are crazy)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] anyways, have a no vacuum; a large overlap on the cam lobes. But anyway that is what they are telling me and I hope there right because when there wrong they all side with the snap crackle @*!$@#%^&(**&# voice and thats scarey.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
