whats the purpose of the leak jet? and should we adjust that spring loaded screw more out? the screw that is pushing on the black plastic piece[/b]

the leak jet is like and over flow jet... it lets gas not used for the accelerator pump go back into the bowl... so a smaller leak jet (stock is 40) lets less gas go back in the bowl and in turn makes MORE gas go through the accelerator pump.

and adjusting the screw gives the accelerator pump linkage less travel and thus less gas, the spring and zip tie mod do the same thing, but without shortening the travel.

perfect write up i might give it a shot

quadboy-55 · 07-06-2009, 04:06 PM

looks good! might try this one out too! excellent write up!

just a quick Question tho, ive seen product evaluations about the scary fast quickshot and the boysen acellerator pump, along with bigger float bowls/ adjustable leak jets, and what not, but i was wondering, if you ever had the time to try one of these ''bog killing'' mods compared to youre spring mod. i'd just like to see how they compare before jumping head first into my carb.

i dont have one, but i have heard that they work the best.. completely curing the bike of any noticable bog.. and i would definitely get one if i had the money. the spring mod is free though.

by all means get a powerbowl or something similar if you feel like makin' it rain.

yeah, the spring mod does sound good, but i think i might give a power bowl a try.

Im attempting to do this right now and im at the part where you take the thin shaft thing out and have to "wiggle" the black thing out. I cannot figure out how to "wiggle" the black piece out and dont want to take anything off and screw up. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Joester · 08-18-2009, 11:45 PM

you take off the E-clip and the spring wrapped around the black part? dont be afraid to bend the spring either... after all it IS a spring.

smootrc · 09-14-2009, 05:51 AM

tired this mod on my 05 and the cover with the 3 screws has no orings and didnt see the spring you was talking about. does this apply to certain years? also my carb looked different from the pictures

popeto93 · 11-03-2009, 09:04 PM

hahah nice post man, good job , i just did this like 2-3 days ago, i hate messin with teh carb its such a pain

Joester · 11-03-2009, 11:52 PM

lol, yeah carbs are confusing... so many little parts.

to tosubie if its not too late... as far as i know the carbs are all basically the same. the previous owner (if there WAS a previous owner) may have done something?

Joester · 12-03-2009, 11:30 PM

yes, that fixes it too, but its $103 more expensive.

polishprince0052 · 05-10-2010, 09:00 PM

First off, GREAT WORK! That really makes it easy... However my question is if you do an aftermarket exhaust and re-jet does this also cure the bog? Or is this simple fix also necessary? I will probably do it anyway since I'm going to have the carb out and apart to re-jet when I put the aftermarket exhaust on. Just curious if there will be anything negative to this fix if I re-jet with a aftermarket pipe.

chevy*tough · 05-22-2010, 12:48 PM

my rig has the quickshot when i bought it and i still noticed the bog but yesterday i did this mod and im pretty sure it is mostly gone. Probley needs some jet work!

ladygaggag · 09-03-2010, 05:43 AM

So the boyesen quickshot 3 still doesn't cure all of the bogging? Doing the spring mod to will most likely solve it? Also downsizing the leak jet from stock 40 to a 35 is this necessary for all of our quads if we have the carb torn down? To do. Doesn't matter what all mods you have done should do it if you have the chance?

I am not sure about the Boyesen but I have an R&D power bowl and if it's like theirs it has an adjustable leak jet. My Power bowl also came with a new stiffer spring so no moding necessary.

if you have a QS3 and your bike is still bogging get a adjustable fuel screw and get your jetting closer then fiddle with them till it goes away

Great walk through, thanks for the info.

joshsdaddy · 10-10-2010, 11:51 AM

Smootrc you got a problem. I have an 05 and trust me. There is a spring and o-rings inside the pump. I just did the spring mod yesterday, and also installed a Quickshot 3. The bog is TOTALLY gone. But the throttle is still hard. Gonna get the replacement spring. DID the cam mod right away also. MAN did that wake the motor up. Definitly worth the time.

skyline2 · 10-17-2010, 03:15 PM

can i do the tip tie mod and this mod or r they the same thing?
