I bought a Toomey pipe on her a couple weeks ago and am now waiting for my exhaust flange and silencer. I plan on adding a Uni filter and the air box vents from toomey as well adjusting the jetting. Is there anything else I should plan on doing? Also I have a Mikuni carb that came off my old RT180. Would that be something I should look into putting on the blaster? Right now the blaster is all stock and running TORS and factory oil injection. Thanks in advance
Few basic performance questions
- Thread starter Fj40z
- Start date
I would keep to the stock carb and eliminate the TORS. Look into getting a eliminator kit. We're you able to weld the pipe? I run the stock carb and love the performance of the Toomey.
just do what the toomey website recommends.
of course plug chop to determine your main jet.
but the instruction are this for the avergage bear anyways lol
i have had 2 of them they like a large main jet and airscrew set a bit lower depending on your engine
they perform best at mid/top end cuz they are a mid/high end pipe

I would take it off unless you ride in a lot of water. I would start larger with the plug chops than a 310 if you do. I know Toomey calls for a 310 but that's with those vents. With the lid off you will have a lot more air flow. I'm running a 330, but Im starting with a 350 main to chop. Play it safe.
X2 on no lid!! IF not lots of water. Could always get outerware cover or make your own. You can get just the material way cheaper!!
Throttle Over Ride System IT is designed to shut ignition off if the throttle were to ever stuck open. The things is it causes more problems than good. It is the big odd looking unit "brick" that sits on top of the carb.

Well on a side note....for the past few weeks I've been having occasional problems starting the blaster. Some days it started on the first kick others I could not get it started. Kicked on it till I was blue in the face yesterday with no luck. I was so aggravated I took it to a shop this evening and all it was the vent line from the gas tank was pinched off causing it to vapor lock. Talk about filling like a dummy.
yup thats why i keep telling people to loosen there gas caps to see if it is ventilating properly lol
when they are diagnosing stuff.
My brother in law called me today and said he had the pipe welded. For those that don't know it's a toomey pipe that had a seem that didn't get welded all the way that I bought a few weeks ago. Any suggestions on what to do to keep the fresh weld from rusting? The pipe is chromed except where the new weld is.
Lube it up with WD40 every so often. I have the bare metal finish, and I soak it. Looks good so far.
