me and my father got into a little discussion at dinner tonight. he was watching those 'chopper build off' shows on tv. he said:
The guy had the same problem as you. The bike runs, but once you give it gas it dies. He said if I wanted to drive to the corner and buy a pack of cigarettes it would be fine but if I was to take it on the highway it would die. Sounds like the exact same problem you're having. His solution was to get a small carburator.
i have a 400ex carb now. mods are in my sig. do you think its too much? im not sure what the jets are. its running way to lean i believe. when i start it (if it starts) the rpms skyrocket until i kill it. havnt had enough run time to take a plug check yet. all i know is i bought it with a dial a jet and no choke. i run B-32 (118octane) straight.
now i do know it will be running lean. when i attempted to boil and stretch my stock 250x airboot to fit over the 400ex carb, it ripped. i have a good 1 inch rip in the boot. it wont fit right to save my life. so there is a few decent sized gaps at the inlet of the carb. would that make that much of a difference? a little air leak? thanks for any of your help. i appreciate it.
