Serious Help Needed :( carb problems, Newbie...

[J4M1E333]

Hi all, im new to this whole forum thing so some constructive critism would be greatly welcomed!!

I bought an 04/05 blaster a few weeks ago and used it on a field for a few goes, as it had a bottom end rebuild, it ran fine.
today I took it out, I warmed it up as usual and then set off up the fire roads, i was going through the gears quite quickly and it was fine, went upto 6th, I was at WOT in 6th when it died, came to a complete hault.

I checked the usual, petrol, spark plug and everything is fine, a nice healthy spark, spot on compression.

I stripped the carb and everything seemed normal, i kicked it and it start but is really bogged, with no throttle response and only runs with choke half on. any other position and it dies. also when running a spray of petrol comes out the carb on the intake side as the air filter was off, it did this a couple of times and now will not start.

from the look of it the TORS system has been removed, but i think its had a new carb after looking at pics on here and the carbs arent the same, this one only has 1 screw on the choke side, right side when looking at the quad front on.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, Very frustrated

the only time ive seen gas comming out the intake side.. the main jet had come loose from vibration.. maybe check that..

 

[J4M1E333]

Thanks, is the main jet like a golden coloured nut thats in the float chamber? also, by intake side i mean like the air filter side, just clarifying

 

[mr_3_0_5]

yep thats it.. also check what the number on the side of it is..

 

[J4M1E333]

ok will do when i strip it tomorrow, Thanks

 

[J4M1E333]

230 on the main jet and needle clip in the middle position, am i right in thinking that this is the stock set up? also took the reed cage out, and one of the reeds has completely snapped off so im 95% certain this is the cause, Thanks!!

 

[mr_3_0_5]

yep you got it the reed being broke will do that as well..

Thanks a lot, finally bought some boyesen pro-series ones today along with a new k&n airfilter, so i can now remove the airlid, will moving the clip on the needle down a position be adequate for the airlid removal?

it wont be adequate, you will need about a 270, 280, 290 main jet IMO but it all hangs off about your altitude

 

[J4M1E333]

ahhhh right, do i need to change the pilot aswell? by alititude you mean how high i am from sea level? im virtually at sea level, im like 5 mins away from the coast, in the Uk.

 

[mr_3_0_5]

up the main some to remove the lid..

 

[J4M1E333]

Thanks, how much by do you reckon? and do i need to do pilot? also, how much by? new jets or just move the needle?

 

[yb200]

if the bike is all stock...with just a k&n and reed and lid removed 250..260 should be fine....pilot should be fine

 

[J4M1E333]

ok thanks a lot, will get onto buying some now then
