new carb now it won't idle right?????

[bigblack316]

WTF?




my cousin has an '01 blaster and he already put on a fmf power core 2 and fatty pipe and now we just put on a PWK 30mm carb and it won't idle


we tried adjusting the idle screw and it made no difference, i couldn't get it to idle with my thumb slightly on the throttle, the idle kept racing up with just a touch of the throttle



it also came with a couple other jets, a 148, a 152 and some other longer lookin' thing, i don't remember the number on that





any clue to what the problem could be???

[bigblack316]

i was wonderin' if the problem could be that there isn't a jet in there and maybe we should put one of those two in?



i guess no help?

Main jets will have a very very minimal impact on the idle circuit.

You need to adjust the pilot jet up or down. Probably need a larger one.

so i guess i'll have to just adjust it some and slap it back together and see if that helps



i probably won't have time until i get up camp, thanks for the help, i hope this solves the problems

Still the same problem? Could be that the pilot circuit is clogged. Just pull the carb and ensure that everything is clean and correct.

nope, haven't tried the other idea yet, i'm gonna have to wait until we're up there to try it just because i have no time during the week

my cousin told me the old carb needed new floats so the dealer told him to get a new one, sounds like they wanted a sale
