Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Not sure what else the bike needs but we did this on my neighbors bike. I guess it all depends on what you like to do but these bike carbs are pretty simple. some carb cleaner and an hour you can have that done. If it's an idol issue or something the clean out works.

1BADYFZ Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I will attempt it this week, a clean is what I think is wrong. It all came back to me once I read some threads on it, I used to have a raptor about 6 years ago. If it doesent work then I will get in touch with you guys...thanks and I will keep u updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineurbiz Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Sam careful, when you take the black cap off of the top, the spring inside with launch across the garage is you are not careful. Also the screws in the bottom of the bowl, are very easy to strip out, we usually replace them with allen heads, just becareful not to over tighten. You also might need to make sure your floats are level. One more thought comes to mind, make sure you do not mix up the main jets, one carb has a larger jet then the other.

1BADYFZ Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Got to work tuesday and tore the carbs apart, new oil, new gas and sark plug. Thing fired right up after cleaning and a few changes on A/F and jets , and I doubted myself but couldent bare to spend the cash so I stopped being lazy. Found the pilot jet was clogged, A/F 's were off and the spark plug was rusted from sitting so long with some moisture..Drained the tank, lubed the cables and tightned the chain. Runs great and hope to keep it stock for a long while, has a pipe and intake and that is all I need!! Thanks for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
