88 kit problems - FIDDY TECH: Help, How-to, Parts & Mods

bagadonutz · 09-22-2007, 09:47 PM

i put my 88 kit on today, the bike runs like shit (stock was way faster)starts right up, breaks up at full throttle, put the jet that was included in the kit. oh, stock carb mod. air box adjustable needle, and stock cam. valves are good. clutch is clunky now. i thought i was off a tooth on the cam gear but when i moved it a tooth, it looked way off. should i put the old main jet back in?

man it could run like shit for too many reasons.

ur gonna have to go throught the whole bike.

nothing someone can do over the computer.

play with carb adjustments. make sure your cam chain is right. plenty of gas in it (it happens). make sure you put the rings in correctly (turn 1 180degrees from the other, black one on top i believe). get a hotter plug to burn off the increased fuel being put in.

lemme know if that helps.

get the hot plug first, the carb can be a pain if you let it, check it next, then double check the cam, if not fixed take apart and check the rings.

you can also check the tip of the plug to see if you are running too rich or lean which would cause it to "break up" and run like shit. search is broke here, check around on www.fiddylife.com for some info i have seen before it will tell you if your fuel/air mixture is off by how the plug tip looks. this would be what i would do first cause it could be as simple as a hot plug or a carb adjustment. i would find it for you but i'm just too lazy right now. let me know if you can't find it.

Start with the basics, double check

Cam chain timing
valve clearance, .002/.002
All intake gaskets
air screw ( around 3/4 out )
Wiring, good ground at the coil
and try the stock main again. what kit are you running?

the cam timing was off a tooth, i'm running the stock jet it runs great. should i try the jet included w/ the TB big bore light kit?

Moorport,
how much would the cam,carb, & intake be for that? would I lose low end?

i have oil leaking out the clutch adjusting bolt (installed hd oil pump). i think i forgot a oil seal, it looks like the oil seal on the head i think. do you know where this goes? inside or outside the case.
