britincali Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Sorry man I din't mean to be a d*ck, your 15 and IMO its very cool your wrenching on your own stuff Re-read everything in this thread and you'll be fine. On most carbs you can swap main jets without removing the carb, as stated above use a 17mm to remove the drain plug on the bottom of the bowl (if it has one if not you have to remove the carb to get the bowl off) then get a 6mm socket and stick it inside, you wont be able to see the jet but you will be able to unthread it. Remember righty tighty lefty loosey Edited March 6, 2008 by britincali Quote
busa boy Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Dont let this little mishap stop you from concoring other related projects. You will learn the way. Keep it up dude. Quote
White Rhino Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 dumontdude I hear you, the first time taking your carb apart and re-jetting is a little scary. I do remember the 1st time I did, I was scared to death I was going to screw something up, but once you did it and your quad runs better for doing it. you will be a PRO (well not as good as Dan, but who is ) You'll get it, let us know how it goes!

dumontdude10 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Ok so the reason i was putting a new jet in is because it was back firing so i got home from school today so i went out to do the carb and jet so i get it all off and i pull the jet out and the stupid jet i bought was the same size. So now i am really pissed off at the guy at mountian motorsports and i have to go back down there this weekend and buy a bigger jet. Do u guys think 148(stock) is big enuff or should i go bigger if so what size. it only a Hmf slip on pipe???? Edited March 7, 2008 by dumontdude10 Quote
nightime Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I see your air box lid is still on? Stock air cleaner too? Are you taking them off too? How many times do you want to go to the store to get a jet? I drilled mine out when I was in the "out back" boon docks, or get a set of jets. 3 or 4 in your range. Quote

powerhouse Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Put a 152 in it ! you said it was poping , when ? on decell / or reved out ? if it's on decell then you need fuel on the idle screw [ bottom front ] turn out 1/2 turn and try it . P.S. I will be drinking while you do this so take your time ! Quote
dumontdude10 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) its when i decell so i should put a 152 cuze im going down there tomarrow Edited March 8, 2008 by dumontdude10 Quote
powerhouse Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) yes , and turn the fuel screw out 1/2 turn and try it also check for a exhaust leak where the slip on goes on the head pipe ! Edited March 8, 2008 by powerhouse Quote
powerhouse Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) that is a pilot jet , why do you have a new one ? that is in front of the main jet . Edited March 8, 2008 by powerhouse Quote
Raptor661 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 If thats the jet they sold you for your main jet its not the right one. It should look identical to your stock one other than the number (which is the size). It kind of sounds like the people your dealing with at your shop are idiots...That makes it a little harder for someone to learn! Quote
dumontdude10 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) "mbnbb1" came over and fixed it for me. and i did need a bigger pilot jet. I put the bike back together now it runs good as new. :shocked2: thanks Mark Edited March 8, 2008 by dumontdude10 Quote
