v force reeds question

[brianfulcher15]

ok,

so the directions keep talking about bolts and using the stock cage? What are they talkign about? I though you modified the original boot, then put the plastic air guide into the vforce cage and then bolted it on the bike?

also should theyre be reed stops on the vforce cage?

and is the plastic air guide suposed to site flush with the cage? the gaskets dont fit around it so i would think this would create an air leak if its now flush.

 

[scotj77]

no reed stops. stupid f'n 15 bull shnit

thats correct cut the little rubber tab off ur stock intake boot that goes inside the reed cage put the plastic thing inside the vf3s use a little gasket sealer to make sure its all sealed up good (no reed stoppers) tighten it down do a leak down test and go riding

 

[brianfulcher15]

ok so is the air guide suposed to be flush, or is it supsoed to still out a little bit?

 

[acezeesawtooth]

basically flush it should push in just fine and stop i wouldnt force it any further than it goes unless its sticking way out

its abought half a gaskets width from being flush. enough that win i put the gasket on it will curve it some sinse the gaskets dont clear the edges of the insert

it wont push in anymore? its been a few months so i cant remember when i did mine is it possible they can be put in wrong? or upside down?

I tryed it both ways, and i also tryed making the indentions a little deeper on the points but it made no difference.

maybe i'll just have to do a silicon gasket on this part.

ok so i took the stock reed cage and fliped it over and bolted it againised the vforce3 cage.

it pressed it in to abought the width of a sheet of paper. i think that will be good enough for it not to leak.

i looked at these, it doesent look perfectly flush in it either.

ok well i put them on today, using a 48 pilot, and a 150 main. adjusted the air/fuel screw out to 1.25 its ideling but dies when i give it gas....

i'd suggest a leakdown test, holeshotman on here sales them,
48 pilot and 150 main on what carb ??? 30mm ???

just setting the airscrew to that setting isnt foolproof, it needs to be set where it makes the bike idle highest and rev clean, if thats over 2 turns out, go bigger on the pilot, in further than 1 turn out, go smaller on the pilot

i got the leakdown tester from him today. im goign to try it out this weekend. as its too dark to mess with it now.

I actually had a 42 pilot in it.... but put a 48 in it just now, and it will start and just dies...

 

[Awk08]

again ......what carb ???????????
or could be airleak and did you set the airscrew to highest idle, then tell us how many turns out that is

30mm oko. are you talking about the screw that adjust the height of the slide? Or the one that allows more or less fuel?

 

[StrokedTater244]

if it dies instantly when you touch the throttle a little, (like it was switched to off), that could be a tors problem. just something to keep in mind if you think your jetting is close.

I have no tors, 30mm oko

i'm talkin the air/fuel mixture screw, not the idle adjust
