Carb screw issue

[Blaaster]

When you put the reeds back in you may need to use some hi temp Copper RTV to get a leak free seal.

Tension the bolts to 5.8 ft lbs diagonally and incrementally [a little bit on each at a time until full tension].

Warning do not over tighten or you may warp the cage and cause a leak.

FMF jetting info

FMF = #260 main jet.
Aftermarket air cleaner + 1 or 2 size larger.
Air box lid off +2
32:1 pre mix +1
Needle in the middle slot.
32.5 pilot jet
Plug chop to confirm, as temperature, elevation and humidity come into the equasion

Do a leak test before you start the engine.

Please listen and do what Awk, others and I say, otherwise you will not have a working engine to fiddle with.

Obviously something is amiss and changing oil brands is not going to fix the issue.

I've not tinkered with it any more. As soon as I get time I will check those reeds. I don't want it messed up more than it is.

I ran across this video. This is exactly what mine is doing just to give you an idea of what I'm going through

parking brake is off right?

 

[harley1-5]

that sounds tomelike parkbrake or airleak if that's what yours is doing my first step would be a leak test[most important thing you can do]

fouled plug, parking brake, TORS, reeds, and flywheel out of time, can all produce similar symptoms.
how many of those have you checked and ruled out ?

an airleak would have that thing screaming, not limiting the revs

 

[jlgray81]

To be honest I don't even think it works. The 'parking' lever doesn't line up the correct way for me to set it.

The plug. And as I stated I don't believe the parking brake works

 

[blasterfied]

If the switch is there, the switch will limit rev. The switch is located on the perch.

 

[jlgray81]

Is there a way to find out? If the parking brake was on wouldn't I have noticed?

 

[Awk08]

yep, trace the wires from the parking brake at the lever to down under the hood and unplug the parking brake circut.
then disable the tors unit:

so you tried a brand new b8es plug ?

Switches go bad from time to time. It has nothing to do with if the park brake works or not. I wouldnt have asked
If the park brake was on if i havent see this before.

With the help of the video you presented. It gives a better idea regarding common symptoms of limited rev. Starting with simple things first like checking the park brake switch and using the link Awk provided to delete.

It was a plug like the one that was pulled. If I eliminate the p-brake, do I HAVE to eliminate TORS as well. I know its recommended but after reading that article I'd rather someone else do that for me lol

i believe you can disable the parking brake without messing with the tors

 

[jlgray81]

Thanks Awk. I'll try that now. I also just ordered 2 of those b8es NGK plugs just so I KNOW I have the correct plug

 

[Herpderplol]

The parking brake wont mess with the TORs. But it is a simple thing to do...

 

[jlgray81]

I just took a look at the cable. The only thing I see is the cable runs from up at the clutch lever to the rear of the quad. Straight shot/ A spring back there looks to be stretched out/pulled

 

[Herpderplol]

Are you saying the cable is pulled back then run forward? If so, fix that...

 

[jlgray81]

Just being honest I don't know what Im saying lol. I wish I knew how to post photos so I could show what I see with that spring

 

[jlgray81]

Ok, so the cable I followed to rear of atv was wrong cable. I followed the correct cable under hood. A lot of wiring. It was a white harness I unplugged? I hope that was correct
