hey i just recently got the aaen top end pipe and some boyesson reeds, i took it to the mechanic and threw in a 260main jet, he didnt change anything else, is that what i should be running, i'm in ontario so elevation doesnt change much, the bike now will not idle and boggs alittle on the low end, should the pilot jet be changed, i tried adjusting the pilot screw with no luck. thanks guys, so u know my plug was black as could be, shes running rich all round.

 

... anyone ?...

 

Call Mr. Aaen, or anyone there will help with a starting point. Doc

 

ok i'll giver a try

 

i was just wondering with a pipe do people normally have to change there pilot

 

No you should be spot on with .260 main only @ anything under 1000 ft. If it wont idle right then carb needs to be cleaned or might need a rebuild. If it still wont idle right then you either have a bad crankcase seal or low compression from rings going bad.

 

checked compression 115 the book says its ok, crank seals are good with the reeds the instructions said something about a larger pilot and smaller main or slightly richer pilot and leaner main i think, any other suggestions

 

hello again guess what, i took it and the mechainic changed the clip inside the carb and leaned it out, i thought it was fine the plug was light brown, i went for a rip and she ran great till i was heading home when it made a clicking sound and started to bog out, i pulled the plug off and it was white, and the bike had no compression. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] ,started ripping it apart and found that the top of the piston on the exhaust side is mangled, so its up for a new rebuild . while the motors out im thinking of getting it ported and maybe the head shaved for higher comp. with the porting will the bike still be reliable? any does/ dont for the rebuild
