If its a stock carb for a stock quad and you just want to get it running good, get a carb kit for 20 bucks and put everything back to stock. You probably have a worn out needle.
Always check the valve lash before doing ANY carb work!

Oh, thought you meant dynojet, lol. I don't know... Dial-a-jet might be worth a couple jet sizes.

I think once I'm done with school I'm going to order some more discs for my Supertrapp and also order a Dial-a-Jet. Hopefully adding those discs will lean me out enough so I can install the Dial-a-Jet with stock jetting since it adds fuel.
How do you check valve lash and what exactly is it? Of course its not in the Clymer manual (that I can find anyways).
The guy I got it from said he had just rebuilt the carb. When I had it apart it looked pristine.

Oh and I would go back to stock but it has that DG exhaust and drilled out air-box lid.
Its a DG RC (not RCM) exhaust. Ever seen that before? I haven't seen one available for a 230 anywhere I've looked.
Also Randy, did you see the link to my photobucket a few pages back? I have a couple of videos on there of it running. The one outside is after the first timing adjustment, the second was after the second timing adjustment. To get it going we had to pull it behind the truck for about 1/4 mile and we had the mixture and idle screw almost all the way out.
Any revelations or ideas based off the videos?

Adjusted the cam timing. It was off about 3 teeth.
Hmm, ok I'll have to take a closer look.
Clymer should have it in there somewhere on how to set the valves. Maybe in the
first couple chapters under maintenance???

Randy, i'm glad you mentioned that little critique of Hotcams. the guy's a little snot-nosed richy rich that inherited a factory from his uber rich parents. they just cnc cams, etc. from aluminum billet. no hardening process, just a block of aluminum

Vince n I were talking about rods and he told me anything made by hotrods was junk metal. He always uses the stuff from japan (ie vesrah).
And on the hotcams, they have something like 300 degrees duration for one lobe. Everything else is stock except that one measurement. I emailed the company, but got some salesman that doesn't know anything. So, I guess either hotrods has a cam that never closes one of the valves or somebody misprinted the true measurement... Whatever that may be (stock I'm betting).

However, I did loosen the valve lash up quite a bit on the bayou to get more lowend power. But after running it so long like that, I need a new valve.



Well, right now, I just want to get it running good and starting. What he wants to do with it then is up to him.
