So far I have;
1. Removed carbs, disassembled, cleaned and replaced o-rings. I dipped the carbs over night in Berrymans.
2. lowered the clip on the needle from the 2nd notch from the top to the 2nd from the bottom. (Had a strong flat spot at about 1/2 throttle)
3. checked intake boot o-rings, PO replaced.
(bench synched carbs, replaced carbs and airbox and started the engine. running like crap.)
4. Removed K&N air filter, cleaned filter and replaced the cruddy old foam with new foam tape (taped and gorilla glued it on)
Bike still isn't running great. Revs up to like 6k rpm on start up, find broken throttle tube inside right hand housing. inspect other cables and brake lines
5. replaced clutch cable with stock cable (was worn through to the wire on a rub location on the forks)
6. Replaced throttle cable with a motion pro cable. (the 90 degree elbow coming out of the right hand switch broke, and was allowing play in the throttle cable. The motion pro cable has a metal elbow)
7. replaced broken throttle tube with an R1 tube.
8. moved needle clip from 2nd from the bottom to the 3 from the top (per dynojet instructions)
replaced everything. Turned air screws out from 2.5 turns to 3 turns. (turned back to loosely seated and then back out 3 turns)
The bike still has issues and seems to be running rough. (I only ran it for 4 months last year so I'm not 100% sure on how it should run. as it's my first bike to work on)
At about 1/4 throttle it is really rough does pop and crack, put sputters. If I twist the throttle and run up through the RPMs it does fine.
When I moved the needle on the slides last time I noticed what MIGHT be a small pin hole on the number 4 carb diaphram. I just happen to have 2 spare slide assemblys. Now, I know I have to drill out the hole in the slide (not the needle hole), but the dyno jet instructions fail to say what size the drill bit is.
Am I on the right track here? After I replace the slide assembly, I'm going to do plug chops. to check all the circuits.
Any suggestions? I've been trying to piece together bits of info from all over the website.....
Do I use to large drill bit or the small drill bit that was included with the dinojet kit?
