Ok, i went out to start my 400, and it would not start. Kept sounding like it was choking out. I did anything i could to get it to start and nothing. So i have never had this thing apart before, but i dove right in and took out the gas tank, carb, and all other pieces involved. Well, the carb was very dirty inside and i decided to empty the gas tank since there was only 1/4 tank left. The gas also had a few pieces floating thru it, so here are the questions.
1) What can i run thru the tank to make sure nothing else is in there??? Water??? more gas???
2) What gas should i run??? I think 87 was in it, should i head up to 93??? My neighbor suggested getting some race fuel and adding 1/8 tank with every fillup to help burn any crap in the gas.
3) Any tips on cleaning out the carb??? I already know about the easily stripped screws.
4) What exact size pilot should i go with to remove the choke??
5) While i got it apart should i rejet it??? My only motor mod is a UNI filter, and modded airbox lid with UNI vents.
6) Any other tricks or tips i.e. Turning mixture screw; diff clips on needle jet; should i just buy a full jet kit;
Any help would be great!!! I do not plan of rushing thru this. If i can't ride for a couple weeks, no big deal. I just want to make sure everything is perfect so i have no probs on the trails.
