Default What am I doing wrong?

Put HMF Duels on and put the 148 jet in the rear and the 145 Jet in the front that HMF supplied. It did nothing but break up throughout the entire rpm range. I played with the air screws and tried all combinations with no success. I took off the air box lid, and it greatly improved but still breaks up on top end and the air screws dont help at all. My first time jetting. What am I doing wrong??
HELP!!

I HAD MINE JETTED THAT WAY. IT SHOULDNT BE DOING WHAT YOU SAY ITS DOING. WHEN I FIRST GOT MINE I JETTED IT LIKE THAT AND IT RAN FINE. THE AIR SCREWS SHOULD BE TURNED ALL THE WAY IN THEN TURNED OUT 2 TURNS. OH YEA WHAT KIND OFR JETS ARE THEY ? THE BRAND. TRY THAT AND IF IT DOES NOT RUN CORECTLY CALL ME AND FOR A SMALL FEE I WILL BRING MY SELF AND MY BEST FREIND WHICH IS A MECHANIC AT ASK IN COLUMBUS AND DOES ALL MY MODS AND WILL FIX HER UP. PLUS IF YA WANT I CAN JET IT LIKE MINE AND DO THE AIR BOX MODS FOR YA AND IT WILL RUN LIKE A RAPED APE. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YA WANT?

Thanks Ted, I know all the mechanics at ASK I must have spent about 80+ grand in that store.. I have bought 8 new XP Seadoo'sin teh past 5 years, 3 Ds's, a Hayabusa and a V force! Im out here in Pataskala on 6 acres, got a decent spot to drag race on my property. They were telling me about your quad when I picked up my V I messaged you a few times to see if you wanted to ride... If you want to come up and have a cook out and help me tune it up and do some racing its cool but you want me to pay you? LOL! I will cook you some ribs or steak whichever you want[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Seems like a fair trade?
Max: 614 778 9399 <-Cell.
I could use some freakin help bigtime tho!!!

Have you checked for exhaust leaks? That may be the cause.

Mark: I did not see or hear any leaks.. Used the stock gaskets that were on the stock exhaust... Should I replace those?

Teddy: Yeah I will hook him up with cash no problem. Sorry, was feeling cheap I guess[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] I would get one of those 450's but I probably would not fit on the damn thing hehe!
Wish they would make a big bike that was actually faster then a 450 etc.. heh wtf? My buddies stock Predator was killin my piped DS!!

Hey guys I live in junction city ohio and work in downtown columbus. I would love to get in some of this action. I have a purple spring in and would love to find out how much it has realy changed my quad since the engagement is kinda harsh. What distance drag are you guys talking about anyway.

I wish I had people like you guys in my area. I have no one with a sport quad where I live so I drive alone most of the time. I really need to move!

I think you need more fuel .... My experence is that this engine responds well to more fuel and air.

Note: don't take the lid "OFF" .... You can play with the amount of air by proping one end of the
lid open with two of the hold down clips.

If you want to talk about it .... send me an email with your phone number radon@lek.net
