yeah book says 3-5mm but it looks about 5-8mm

changed clips on needles from 3d to 4th same if not worse

im thinking ill just let my local guru screw with it ive litterally popped them off atleast 15 times i dont think my boots can take much more of it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

YOUR RUNNING TO RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I'D PUT LIKE 145 AND 150 IN

 

yeah ive thought about that but it sputters like its out of gas

 

I had the same problem running without a lid. It ended up I couldn't flow enough fuel past the stock needles no matter how bug of a main jet I put in. GYTR needles fixed the problem.

 

Yeah, it would sputter like you're running out of gas if you're too rich, especially with black smoke, from what I have noticed with mine, change your needles back to the 3rd from the top, try .5 turn out on your screws either 3 turns or 3.5 turns, and I'd try and hit a smaller main jet, even try 155 160.

 

i would think your right about that but ive removed my exhaust just to test it and see if the restriction was too much and to my suprise it still was the same just ear drum shattering, without it i would think it would flow even more than an aftermarket one but maybe they are too big alltogether for the stock cc?

 

i bought a 150 jet, so ill see how that works out and post it

peace

 

Maybe try checking the coil wire and all the other wires on the bike.

 

Exactly! When my Raptor was stock with the snorkle unrestricted and no spark arrester, 145-150 worked the best. No lid is a bad idea with the stock exhaust...with the snorkle trimmed more than enough air flow is available for the restrictive stock exhaust...even though the spark arrester has been removed. Fuel level too high makes a rich situation worse.

Float level is mighty important.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
