gt thunder replacement

[Wr3sTl3b0y]

i got gt thunder studs put in bc i was losing compression adjusted the carb before i fixed it to compensate for it got the studs put in a new piston and rings ... same 440 piston i had before
would this cause me to need a change in the carb again and if so what you think i should change bc it wont start or run right

2nd 3rd and 4th ran pretty good wide open but 1st defently bogged popped sounded like a pro fuel drag car sitting at the line

Yes, you will probably have to adjust the carb again b/c you now have more compression than before.

you need the put the right parts in your quad, its the main reason its not gonna run right nomatter what you do. Buy a new needle/jet from honda or dynojet.

Yea a skilled shop/mech your looking at least 100 bucks.

If you lived near me I would send you to my guy, 50 bucks + parts and he does it.

The ebay kit looks ok, remember tho you do get what you pay for.

When you would like to change some spare parts of the bike on your own it is good to get some piece of advice from experts. When we have to connect the gt thunder studs, some care should be given because it may badly effect the compression. The level of compression may affect the ride. With the 400 piston, the carb has to be properly adjusted. Getting the genuine spare parts is another important point to be looked into.
