Today was the first day I got the 80 out for a good 12 mile run. It was a slower ride, under 10 mph most the way. The machine idles good and seems to run ok, but smokes a lot even for a 2 stroke. Its runing so rich that unburned fuel and oil is dripping out the tail pipe.
It was 60 degress.
We are at 1300 ft altitude and that does not vary greatly.
According to the manual it should have a 92.5 main and the needle should be set second from leanest. I have yet to check jet or needle clip position. Because it idles ok I'm thinking the float level is ok.
So I'll drop the needle first, but if its set as per manual there is only one notch to go leaner, and I'm thinking it will need more.
LT80 is stock. Not really chasing more hp but want it to run decent.
What jet should I order?
I have a 80 from the Badger but that will be too far.??
Also I need to check the air filter, it will rev out so must not be totally choked but could be the issue. Can't imagine the factory sending it out that rich. The 2 stroke 90 sportsman we took as well today smokes about 1/2 as much as the Suzuki.

You can run a 90 main jet.
How about you getting on it and turning some rpm's and clean it out good?
