Interesting, first Ive heard of a 500 not running right with a DJ 170. Is the fourth notch what DJ called for in the instructions?
My kit (Dynojet) said put the clip on the 3rd groove of the needle. The grove on the short end of the needle being #1.i'm running my bike with the DJ jet kis DJ170 and the needle is on the fourth groove, i have a K&N filter and an HMF....
I had to adjust my idle up a bit from stock.IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MINE. AT IDLE IT SEEMS TO REV UP AND DOWN AND SOMETIMES SPITS AND SPUDDERS AS I GIVE GAS AND LET OFF. MY CLIP IS ON THE 3RD NOTCH OF THE NEEDLE. I HAVE THE MIXTURE SCREW SET AT ABOUT 2 1/2 TO 2 3/4. IT DOESTN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE HOW I TURN THE SCREW. IF THE STOCK NEEDLE WORKS BETTER LET ME KNOW.
I used an OE gasket on mine, w/ no problems. Make sure it is not the shaft seal leaking as well.ALSO HAS ANYONE HAD TROUBLE WITH THERE CRANK CASE GASKET LEAKING AFTER INSTALLING A HL CLUCTH KIT. MINE DOES AND I'M GOING TO REPLACE IT WITH A FACTOR GASKET, ANY IDEAS....
Is the spark plug getting wet? Are you going that deep? If the plug is not greased, that will give you a similar problem.I TURNED MY IDLE UP AND I GOT WERE IT RUNS PRETTY GOOD, BUT WHEN I GET IN DEEP MUD IT WANTS TO DIE OUT. I LOSE ALMOST ALL MY POWER AND IT HARD TO KEEP IT RUNNING. ONCE I FINALY GET OUT I CAN GET TO RUN FINE AGAIN. WHATS UP. I'M USING AT DYNO JET KIT AND WONDERING IF I CAN US MY FACTORY NEEDLE WITH THE DYNO JET AND SPRING. N E E D H E L P P L E A S E ............
