im sure its running rich
Ive posted before about the black crud coming out the back of my zaust, i thought it may have been oil but i was assured it wasnt by you guys and my spanner dude..
however... i put my baffle back in my can so i can check fuel economy with it in and it is well and truely caked in black crud, but its really thick and has stained the baffle.. do you think washing the air filter would work? or is the stock one that paper rubbish? im sure its running rich.. any thoughts? |

Re: im sure its running rich
have a go, see what happens. You could try a new air filter. How often do you use your bike? Do you use it for more short trips, or long trips?

Re: im sure its running rich
Have you taken the plugs out yet?See if they are sooty and if one is dirtier than the other.That will give you an idea,as will a fuel consumption check.Is it using a lot?

Re: im sure its running rich
What is this baffle you speak of?
IMO The plug check is the best way to see whats going on, I give the air filter a squirt with compressed air, whether this clears it or not I don't know but it cant hurt. Chris

Re: im sure its running rich
Yeah dizzy has done that to her yellow one via dremel, also had it jetted to suit, tempted to do the same and copy her jet sizes, only difference is she has a high level ART can.
Reckon this would get the mix right or are individual carbs too different? Edit: Whats going on? there was a post from northwind here a minute ago!
