The power curve of this engine is, peak of a very user friendly torque curve, is at 5000 rpm. Horsepower is 7400-7500. Rev limiter is set at 8500, so no need to play with the rev limiter. It protects the engine from things like missed shifts and broken chains. The aftermarket CDI units have not proved out as an improvement, according to several people who have tried them. Maybe someday someone will figure out how to get a smooth advance curve into a CDI, at an affordable price, but not so far. Induction and exhaust is where to start. There is a very good extractor exhaust sold on e-bay for around $120.00 or so. A Mikuni carburetor is the easiest to tune, because of parts availability, such as jets. If you go that route, use only genuine Mikuni jets. Most of the others are not accuratly made....ARH

Good catch, HB. I forgot to mention that I'm running a Mikuni.

Mike, have you had a look at the vent hose? Ensure that it is free from obstructions and that it is not kinked.

It's not on the carb. It's a hose that is connected to the top of the engine (underneath the carb), and then it usually routes down behind the swingarm and points at the ground. It must not be kinked or plugged.

Ok had some time to work on atv today. I put a 105 main in. Stock didn't have a size on it but I used the drill bit method and it was smaller then a 105. I tried 40,42,45 piolet jets and it runs best with the 45. I have mixture screw 2 turns out and needle in the middle position. Response is a lot better but still needs tunning. How does this carb setup sound to you? Only thing different from stock is 6" long hose of carb with clamp on air filter. Wants stock needle position? The vent tube off motor is clean and not kinked. Still smoked like a mother. Hard to read the plug due to that. Thx

If you have an air compressor I would like to suggest a leak down test. This can help narrow down a few possibilities very quickly, such as excessive ring blow by. With the engine on the compression stroke and both valves closed, feed air into the cylinder and look/feel/listen for escaping air. If you get a strong steady flow of air from the crankcrase breather port, then that will tell you all you need to know about the ring seal.
Or an even simpler cold compression test might be all it takes.
