Hi guys, so i picked up a HX about 9 months ago, the kid i brought it off said the carbs needed attention, they did, the N/S were leaking in both carbs.
I brought a rebuild kit throught either SBT or WSM fixed and cleaned them up, set everything to factory settings including pop off.
Meanwhile i went over the engine, it was obvious it didnt have many hours on it, the ski looks brand new, bilge, engine/exhaust paint everything. I did a top end rebuild and went over everything anyways.
After that was done i put a good 15 hours on it, it was running well but the carbs were not ideal (running really rich) giving me a slow ramp up from idle to WOT
As it was too rich, i didnt worry too much as i knew i was doing mods before dialing it in.
I have just installed a maxiloader intake grate, skat trak 14.5/22.5, ADA high comp head 36cc domes (170psi in the jugs)
Stock exhaust pipe and carbs, stock F/A’s but i did remove some screens in accorance with a write up from group K
I took it out for a ride last weekend in hopes to tune it trying to follow the mikuni manual
I just want a reliable tune, with a crisp throttle i also spend alot of time wot so i know staggering the jetting is a good idea.
It still seems very rich im not getting the performance i know i should be getting, super boggy, black sooty plugs... surely i dont have go lower jet size than stock?? I was expecting to go UP jet sizes?
Any thoughts? Cheers.
