850 should be 102.5 jets in stock form.

No, 115 is the stock jet for your CV carbs.

[OLDENUFF]

You are correct sir. CV'S take 115's. Your jets are correct.

its not getting fuel...if i put the foam over carbs and cover one carb up so it sucks up fuel it will run...once its an for a sec it will fire back up again no choke or anything..

airbox on, choke on...it just hits here and there...

[cowboyup3371]

Your carbs are not adjusted properly. How many turns out are the mixture screws?

tried 2, 2.5 and 3

[cowboyup3371]

Set it back to 3 turns out, airbox on with filter and top. You may want to adjust the idle up a tad for now to see if it will start but be ready to adjust down if necessary. Prime the bowls if necessary.

Just a thought. Tom (TKent) gave you really good advice earlier so try it again. Also, is your vacuum line in good shape?

Spark plugs!!!!!!!

[cowboyup3371]

Okay Octain, I'll bite. How will the plugs cause the problem if it fires with restriction over the carbs (by hand versus the airbox)?

new CORRECT lol plugs...gapped to spec, and yes if i cover the carbs with foam/rag, hold my hand over 1 maybe 2 carbs completely soon as it hits take my hand off an i can ride it up the road no probs...runs rather good actually

I dont know but new plugs will eliminate any question of them being bad.
Honestly, I dont think the carbs are clean or the air box or something isn't properly sealed.
