And now the tuning...

2008 Tomos ST W/A55 motor, stock jug/carb. Last night I installed the performance kit from 1977, along with a technigas next pipe. The kit included a Uni air filter, and infuser, main, and idol jets. Along with this I have a 26 tooth front sprocket. On the test run I could tell that I'm gonna need some help getting the carb tuned right. Very slow off the line, and in the low RPM s of 2nd gear. On a nice down hill section, I hit 47mph, (GPS), and suddenly I got a huge back fire. I eased off and everything seemed fine. There doesn't seem to be any damage. Was I getting close to seizing? or am I running too Rich? WTF

Re: And now the tuning...

on my bike a backfire means I'm ether running out of gas or my jet is clogged or my fuel filter is getting too full of debris from my rusty tank. What did you put on there exactly? anew carb or just the air filter? if you have more jets I would say you are running too lean and to upjet

what jet are you running?

Re: And now the tuning...

timing also often causes backfires

Re: And now the tuning...

so does putting in pistons upside down. this is the big bore kit right? if its just the carb you might be running lean.. check for an air leak

Re: And now the tuning...

Stock jug and carb, upjetted main, idle, and infusor jets. Uni air filter, Technigas Nest pipe.
