OK I read through all the posts ... I cant believe ... never mind that, guys hot = lean. End of story.

J_walker - you're lean ... lean as kate moss on cocaine ...

The O2 sensor and what not is 1. Not as easy as you think ... 2. Been done to death by me, 3. A GS is not that sensitive and we're not going to need to set it to that exact .5 for the best power ... whatever ... I came up with the formula that sends all GS'es over the hill. Its rich, near about richest it can be before it will seriously run much worse ...

Essentially the jet matrix's suggestion - jet for your setup ... before that ... clean and check floats etc.

Cool.
Buddha.

agreed on the carbs as thats likely where the issue is but one thing i dot see around here is anyone with a wide band actually checking and knowing for sure what their AFR is.


I guess everyone is guessing theirs is right?

I use a wideband 02 like that when I'm tunning EFI lol.  Might as well add an EGT probe if we're going to get all crazy with it!


In all seriousness though, its not neccesary on this.  You can work without wideband just fine on these simple machines. 



To the OP:  Sounds like a stuck float.  Pull the carbs, takes 30 minutes tops.

Are you saying that the float might be stuck closed (I think that's what you mean), not allowing any fuel into the carb-combustion chamber, and therefore creating a super lean condition? 

OP, are both sides of the exhaust headers glowing red hot, or just one side?

Yea, my needle and float were in terrible shape when I bought my bike.  The needle was actually frozen in place and the float was waayyyyyy of. 


Usually a stuck float is always a rich situation allowing fuel constantly flow causing black smoke and the like.  My bike the float was sinking and the plastic pieces were off, as well as having a stuck jet, all attributing to my bike running like crap.


Jet kit from buddah, plus a few hours with the carbs on the bench and I haven't had problems in months.

Both Sides of the pipes were red, that's why I got jumppy cause I've never seen that kind of thing before.. And the problem is, I have no were to work on my bike. Both my parents cars take up our garage. so Its kinda hard to work on it cause Only space time I got is when their at work. and I don't like the smell of gas in my bedroom

guess you can ask them not to park there for a day so you can work on it?

You can get your bike in your bedroom?
Do you video yourself with your bike?

I ment the parts from the bike into my bedroom, not the whole bike.. Don't be crazy. I will lose a mirror or two going down the hall way to my bedroom... if I took the carbs = have gas in them.. into my bed room. they would smell the place up with gas..
