I finaly got to Tennessee, and I brought my wb slip-on and dyno-jet kit with me. We put the slip-on on and put a 155 mj in. We also installed a 42 piolet,and turned the misxture screw out 3 turns. It fired twice, now it won't start. Any suggestions\/

you fouled a plug. Change it, pump the gas 2 times, DO NOT use the choke. It should fire once and probably die, pump the gas 2 more times and you should be in business on the 2nd or 3rd try..:cool:

On my 400 I have the same mods + a uni, and the DJ155 was way rich (Mississippi). Try the 146 it will work better in Tennessee
You may need the 155 in Alaska (temp/altitude).

i usually find it best to pump the gas 5 or 6 times and then hit the start button without hitting the gas. it will usually kick over just fine. however, mine always starts with the choke. i think mine starts a little better when i am around 2 to 2.5 turns out on the fuel skrew. going out to 3 makes my plug look pretty dark at idle.

we turned it out 3 turns, and it starts fine with no pumps of the gas. His already had the k&n so the 155 is just perfect. With 3 turns out, it idels perfect. Thanks for everyones help -Nick-
