Just rebuilt carb with rebuild kit. Plugs now are soaked with fuel when I try to start. Bike will not run. Turned out mixture screw 1and 1/2 turns as reccomended. Dont know why plugs are getting so much fuel?

main jet too big?

 

[Folks]

Left something out?

Should not be the main Jet, it doesn't control idle. You need to check the float level and the float needle and seat. Sounds like float level is too high or the float needle is not closing good. Any gas dumping into the air box? Also the pilot jet controls idle mixture. It is located beside the main in a recessed hole. Did you remove it? I hope this may help.

very true atvjunkie...my mistake, didnt take the time to think about it just being at idle

Hey blueline, no worry, we're like blind men just doing the best we can trying to help.

aahh this is true, internet diagnosing is probably the hardest to do out of everthing. haha! i need somebody to keep me in check sometimes.

im curious...what was replaced when you did the rebuild ratherbflyn?

 

[ratherbflyn]

I used a shindy rebuild kit. Before I did the rebuild there was a little fuel on the edge of the air box? what caused that? And yes I removed the pilot jet and put new one in.

By the way is there a gasket where the exhaust meets the head?

I agree with atv..sounds like floats not set correctly...
