FMF Exhaust Problem!

[lbwd]

I got an FMF Fatty Gold Series pipe and the FMF PowerCoerII silencer to go with it. I just installed it and when I start my 1999 Blaster, the exhaust sounds weird. It sounds like there's a bean in a can jumping around.

I am currently uploading the video to YouTube and I'll post it as soon as it is approved. Any ideas in the mean time?

The only thing I didn't do, yet, is put the spring on.
I believe the sound is coming from the front, where the pipe connects to the motor.

 

[dirtyblaster]

air leak could be casuing that since you have not installed the spring

 

[lbwd]

Maybe so.
So where do I attach the spring? Obviously from the pipe, but to what from the pipe? There's no place.

The pipe is just rattling on the connection to the motor. Put that spring on and it will stop hopefully.

 

[lbwd]

Thanks guys...
I'll try to find a place to connect the other end.

 

[cbaber]

Um i think you just put it on the bolt that goes into the motor part. You somehow hook it to one of those bolts. I had to mess with mine to get it on but it works now.

 

[lbwd]

I'll try again...

 

[lbwd]

GOT THE PIECE OF sh*t ON THERE AND IT'S JUST AS LOUD AS BEFORE AND THERE'S STILL EXHAUST COMING OUT BY THE SPRING AREA. F***!

 

[lbwd]

Do I need some sealant?

 

[dirtyblaster]

sounds like it, did you rejet the carb?

 

[lbwd]

Rejet the carb? No.

 

[dirtyblaster]

becasue if you have a pipe you are suposse to rejet

If I can figure out how to rejet it, then I'll do it. I have to find a "how to" or something, unless someone has a scan from the repair manual.

 

[jlsparky7]

Its supposed to sound like that but you NEED to rejet.

 

[lbwd]

I will rejet. I also ordered a service/repair manual. If anyone ever needs scans, let me know

 

[jlsparky7]

Did you remember to switch out the stock o-ring and put it in the fmf pipe?

 

[lbwd]

LOL I skim through the instructions. These things must be a pain in the ass to put on! Where do I find the stock O-Ring? And then what?

 

[jlsparky7]

You can order one from your local dealer or look for one on ebay. It goes in the lip of the pipe to seal it around the exhaust flange.

 

[lbwd]

Okay...
I am taking my Blaster in, to the dealer, Tuesday.
Going to have them do the O-Ring thing and the jetting, as well as repair the brakes. I know... I don't want to see the bill either. At least I am getting more into my ATV though

If you lived closer Id do it for 1/2 the price of the stealership.
