ok gas is deffinatly getting in the carbarator i opened the drain valuve and gas started dripping out.

so it's either the start up needle set wrong or the jets just won't work at this altituted.

 

That brass pipe is ur fuel inlet I believe

 

Did u clean the carb good? Are you trying to start it with the air filter hooked up? It needs some restriction to be able to suck up the gas from ur bowl. Hold ur hand over the front of the carb and try to start it

 

yeah the carb must be cleaned ok cause i coverd it with a towel and she started and ran for like 20 secs but the towel was starting to absob gas so i must have flooded it.

i have the fuel line connect to this pipe

 

omg i'm so close

i have the rubber pipe that goes from the air box connected to the carb and then a sock over that and if i use my hand to contrl the air flow i can kind keep it running.

my air filter is destroyed and i'm trying to set the ide screw

 

awesome, do u know how to adjust the carb? the middle screw controls the idle rpms. the one to the left controls the idle mixture, turn it in to decrease fuel and out to increase. without a filter on it, you prob need to turn it out. keeping choke on will help too since ur pullin in so much air

 

hey buddy i have the exact same bike and have rebuilt the whole top end and transmission on it. that brass pipe on the top of the carb you asked about is just a vent for the carb. nothing to wory about with that one there. anything else you need help with i will gladly help. just msg me here or pm me

 

also meant to add that if i were you i would pull the tank off and flush it really well. get rid of the old gas and what i did was wash my tank out with soap and water cause there was so much crap in it then let it dry real good before you add gas back to it. also where the petcock connects to the tank there are little screens on the end of those lines. pull those lines out with the screens on the end and clean them really well too cause they might be clogged and blocking some fuel flow. and if your still not running well run some really thin wire through your carb jets because there my be some residue from the ethanol built up inside them and also restricting fuel flow.

 

sweet i will deffinatly need help,

right now if i put a sock on my hand and control the airflow into the carb i can keep it running.

when i put the air box on and all that it won't run.

i think i need new jets cause im in Colorado now and it was in MN. i just don't know what to get.

 

sounds like its running way to rich. pull out the spark plug and let me know what color it is. if its dark black its running rich and possibly fouled. light tan is good and white means its running lean.
