vm20 treats reed no power.

I just installed a treats kit on my za50, with:

treats reed 70cc

hi hi head

malossi white reed (single petal)

weak-ends intake for

VM20 stock jets 22.5/180

techno boss

the issue im having is that it kicks over with the choke on and idles poorly, when i attempt to ride there is zero power. but when on the kickstand at wot it will rev to mid and then bog out before getting anywhere near high rpm. im at stock timing wit a B6HS but i feel that i should be getting at least better poor performance before i start messing with timing and re-jetting. im 99 percent sure i have no air leaks if there is its at the exhaust flange, but its been idling so poorly i have a hard time spraying carb cleaner to get a consistent reading. could jetting really be the only problem? everyone on the spreadsheets tends to be down jetting their main so i have ordered new jets there on the way. has anyone experienced anything similar on like builds? earlier today it was running flawlessly stock with a 15/15 sha. anything i could be overlooking would help tremendously.

thanks

i forgot...

yes i have spark

yes i have fuel flow

removing air filter it wont kick over

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

Sounds like it's lean and starving for fuel when it bogs out. I'm having the same issue with my vm22 but I haven't had a lot of time with it. Good luck.

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

idle is fixed but i still no no power when at all it has to be jetting unless anyone has any other suggestions

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

fail.

idle is fixed but i still have no power and when i give it throttle at all it bogs out. it has to be jetting unless anyone has any other suggestions

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

GET REALIZED! BE HERE NOW! /

Make sure the reed is moving freely , they can get caught.

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

Dude I couldve wrote this myself, acutaully i did, in the performance section ...WFFF!!! I kid, yeah the I think my prblem lies within the white single peddle set up...keep me/ us posted!

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

Nope, not an issue with only having a flat reed. It's all valving or timing. Learn to actually set your timing by reading the wiki. With a timing light.

"_im 99 percent sure i have no air leaks_"

Have you checked for air leaks with carb cleaner?

Your pilot and main jets sound way too big. downjet.

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

air leaks :(

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

Ended up down jetting 145, but jetting wasn't the issue nor timing MALOSSI WHITE REED DID NOT CLEAR KIT WITHOUT BEING OPENED UP. Reeds were being pinned down and I had to open the reed mount so the reeds could actually open. I have cleaned it up and Niw I'm fine tuning. Great set up all parts are basically bolt and go minus the reed mount in my case.

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

Still no air leaks, but i verify this everytime I touch any part of my top end.

Re: vm20 treats reed no power.

i have a similar problem with my vm 20. it`s not my reeds because the problem wasn`t there before the carb swap. it bogs like it`s running out of fuel and it won`t clear up and start revving it will just die unless i let off and jack off the throttle. i`m thinking dirt even though the carb is bfn.

anybody know of a good replacement reed for a 4pedal dio set up? like a boysen cf or does 1 have too make their own. i haven`t had much luck making reeds.

sorry for the hi-jack
