Vader with 26mm mikuni...

Goody302 · 05-01-2017, 06:58 PM

Ok, so rode for a little bit, seems at WOT in higher RPMs, 5500-7000, it seems hesitant. Fine rolling into throttle, but as RPMs climb, seems to flutter. Now, granted only have 5 miles on this machine so far...lol. I got home, plug looks to be rich, wondering if I'm too rich since still stock exhaust. Only changes is mikuni 26mm carb, air filter on end of it. Running a 115 jet. No idea what stock jet is as my stock carb has flat screws to it...no idea how to get it apart. Screws on it look like just like a solid circle, nothing ya can put on em. Thinking of trying a 105 jet since I bought a jet kit with carb.
Any ideas folks?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

105 sounds about right. Getting the float bowl off the stock carb is easy. Use a cut off wheel on a Dremel to cut a slot in the screw heads and remove them with a flat head screwdriver.

Dremel worked for my stock carb. Put a 90 jet in and it's doing the same thing. I ordered a vm22 mikuni carb and I hope that makes a difference. Not sure how it's going to work with the stock exhaust. If anything I'll gut the cat and see how it runs after that or just order a new exhaust but I'm not sure which one yet.
