Okay I have an 05 ES It is snorkled on both ends. I have put a 170 jet in complements of truegrit and the power difference is great. But I still have my origional problem. When I hold full throttle in 3, 4, or 5th I get a poping noise and a sputter . This happens at about 37 MPH. I can't figure this out. I thought maybe that it was going lean, but I installed the larger main jet and set the mixture at 2.5 turns like I was told. I have alot more torque but at speed I get that popping and sputter. It has great throttle response through 1,2,3 and then it wants to cut out and sputter and pop. I was told once that I could have water and dirt in the carb, but I just had the bowl off and it was clean inside. I only have 185 miles on the bike. I am looking for answer that could solve my problems. Thanks in advance for any help.
looks like i am in the same boat after my test run this weekend.
anything over 30 mph in 4th gear forget about it. sputtering,popping and i died once or twice. by downshifting and keeping the rpm's up sometimes i could recover from it stalling but i would be in 2nd or 1st trying to recover.
guess i need to take my own advice?
how sensitive is the air/fuel screw? i am wondering if i need to move the clip down a notch(raising the needle) or be able to fix it with a solid turnin only.
1st threw 3rd worked great, just as long as i didnt go over 25mph
if i reinstalled the float wrong after putting the jet in and it was"sticking" that would effect the bike from startup not just in top end correct?
At first i thought it was the mogels/humps in the trail and the bowl was filling with too much gas making it sputter. now i am sober and it doesnt sound as logical as it did yesterday
