HAVEING PROBLEMS WITH BIKE STALLING IN WATER. JUST INSTALLED HMF QUIET CORE & DYNO JETKIT. RIGHT NOW IM RUNNING A 175 JET WITH AIR MIXTURE SCREW TUNED OUT 2 1/2 TURNS SHOULD I GO DOWN TO A 170 MAIN JET. IT LOSES POWER ONLY WHEN PIPE GOS UNDER & WHEN IM IN A HIGH GEAR AND LOW SPEED AND HIT IT FULL THROTTLE IT SPUTTERS UNTIL I LET OUT A LITTLE BIT THEN IT PICKS UP. THANKS TO ALL WHO CAN HELP!!!!!!!!
OK THINKS FOR THE HELP IM GONNA CHANGE THE JET AND RECHECK EVERY THING ELSE I KNOW MY NEEDLE IS ON THE # 4 SLOT I THINK IT SHOULD BE ON # 3 PER KIT.REALLY DIDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTILL PIPE AND JET KIT.
Yeah..the jet make a big difference, we found that out when we snorkeled mine 2 weeks ago. It is running better with the jet, but still needs a little tweeking!
B4 I JETED MY BIKE IT WAS SNORKLED AND RAN FINE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO I HOPE ITS JUST A CARB THING IN A WAY I KNOW TUNEING CARBS CAN BE PAIN. I CHECKED MY PLUG AND IT LOOKS OK. WHO KNOWS ?
How much water cam out of the carb drain? Mine always has a FEW DROPS come out when I pull the plug in the drain after riding. Did you put Dielectric grease on the spark plug? If you did you may want to hit it again. I have to regrease mine every 3-4 rides. Sometimes mine will sputter in the water, but after it gets fresh grease it is good to go for another few rides.
I run a DJ170 (per the kit) and Robb uses a DJ175.
Check your needle if you think you put it on the wrong notch. I accidently put mine on the wrong notch and it ran like crap until I fixed it. BTW, I'm running a DJ175
THANKS IM GONNA WORK ON IT TONIGHT RECHECK IT ALL . YOU THINK I SHOULD RUN 175 OR 170. YOU THINK THERE IS THAT MUCH OF DIFF IN BETWEEN HMF UTILITY AND QUIET CORE TO GO UP OR DOWN A JET.IM NOT REAL SHURE IT EVEN A CARB PROBLEM JUST ASSUMEING CAUSE IT STARTED AFTER I PUT THEM ON.
When you say you are running a 170 or 175. Is that Kehein? The reason i ask is my dynojet kit come with jets upto 160. My oem jet reads 162. Ive heard the oem jet is in Kehein and Dynojet jets are different.
run a DJ 170 and put the clip on the 3 groove. the number one groove on the needle is the top one. so it will be the 3rd one down. im running with my a/f screw turned 2 turns out and i have the iridium plug. mine was too rich until i put the new plug in the other day now mine is working fine.
