SATANSAM Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Hi there amigos! Basically crankcase receiving or received petrol when putting pods on the carbs and of course bigger main jets, TOO BIG (pilot jet only 47,5 instead of 45). The bike was running fine until it didn't after a while in 4th gear mid throttle. Seemed to be a bit "drunk" (the bike, me later). Question: Would you think it's because of the extremely bigger main jets? (around 145 instead of 117,5, had them around and tried them) getting too much fuel in? OR Too big pilot jets? When the bike was parked I dodn't switch off the petrol tap and thought maybe it was filling with petrol when stopped...But floats are on the spot, new carb kit, needle falves, seal... Cheers big ears! Quote Link to comment
Jaydee Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Doubt it's the pilot jet. You've only gone up the next size. (They go up at 2.5 increments. You've gone huuuugggge on the mains. Way too big going from 117.5 to 145. Bike is probably drowning in fuel. Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 if you have petrol in your oil its got to be coming from the tank if you don't turn the tap off. the carbs might be leak free on a bench test but ive seen them leak a wee bit with a full tank and sat in the sun when pressure builds up. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanx Jayden, bought cheap AliExpress mains, several measurements and put 125 and 45 in pilots. lets see how it goes! Dammit oil is freakin expensive man…. Quote Link to comment

I’ll have to test the thing. 1st jets, then tap…Thanx Tony! Quote Link to comment
SATANSAM Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 Can’t believe this, now the carbs at all sticky!!! They weren’t days ago. I think the epoxy treatment in the tank I made 2 years ago has something to do dammit Quote Link to comment
