Umm. I did...........(Vito's pistons = wiseco) Why?

So yesterday I dropped off my cylinder and head along with my vitos superstock piston at Iron horse motorcycles out here in monroe, NC. they are a honda/yamaha/harley ATV, UTV and motorcycle dealership with a nice parts shop and service facility that has been here for over 15 years....they will...

The link I added takes you to an add, and at the top it says "continue to ebay" I dont know why, it did that automatically and I couldn't change it. That is great info, but I am not going to go that route as I said in the first post. I'm going to buy the vito's super-stock kit which comes with...

OK. So what about this here? I should be able to buy this, take my cylinder/head that I have now, along with the piston to my local machine shop, and they should be able to get what I have machined to fit this...

2005 Blaster, stock head, carburetor, gearing etc. - has a DMC Header, DG muffler - deleted oil injection, so pre-mix fuel only - no lid on air box and aftermarket foam filter - new boysen reeds - TORS delete & new throttle So in one of my last threads, I had a no-start issue, and then I rebuilt...

Cant PM you, can you PM me? include your phone # and I want to buy the rear plastics

Ok, so when I am looking at the new reeds, the round flaps do not tightly seat against the square part of the reed. maybe I did over tighten? I could probably take them back off and flip them over. and make sure they stay flat. What i am trying to describe is that i could probably stick about a...

Thanks for the tips. please help me figure out what is going on, your pretty much the forum go-to-guy for this kind of stuff.... I got a carb rebuild kit that came with every possible part, gasket and o-ring for the internals of the carb. I also purchased and added in a #290 main jet. I...

Update: My reeds/ diaphragm are broken. I took off my intake manifold rubber boot and found that they had fallen into pieces. What needs to be done here. So far, I guess i need some reeds, and also a carb rebuild kit with new needle, jets/ etc. and I will also get a 270 or 280 main jet.

what makes me shy away from the idea that the jetting was off is that it ran absolutley perfect after I had cleaned and re-sealed everything.

Also I have the TORS delete kit. But the idle adjustment screw does not work I should probably check that screw and put sealant on the threads. I have been setting the idle with the throttle adjustment on the handlebar, but that probably does not make a difference because its the same as if...

why not put a filter right on the carb itself?

stock jetting, stock air box but lid has a 1" x 3" hole cut in the top and a foam filter. has an aftermarket header, it looks like the stock one but is shiny SS. muffler is a DG. no idea if that really makes any difference... i have read that it really doesn't until you have a more modded...

So...made some progress, but it died AGAIN! Took the carb apart, cleaned the float needle, and toothpaste polished & cleaned the parts accordingly to the stickies in the carburetor section. I checked the float height and it was 20mm. also put a new piece of hose on the exhaust header - to -...

Tried new gas/oil mix, (dumped all the old fuel out). put in a new spark plug and it cranked right up and made it about 20 ft. It died again in the middle of my yard. its like once it gets past idle and into climbing RPMS it gets this hesitation, and then from there it is just struggling to...
