generally you want to go up one size with your pilot jet when doing the cam mod

So your saying my bike isn't going to run properly unless i do this. What happens when i turn the screw on the bottom of the carb? More/Less fuel right???
adjust your idle up
your air/fuel screw should be approx 1.5 to 2 turns out...
did you take the slide out of the carb when you cleaned it?

I completely disassembled the entire carb, so yea i did. And which is the air fuel screw the one on the bottom?? Also how do i adjust the idle. Sorry i'm a Noob. :icon_frown:
Its possible you went too far on the cam mod or maybe advanced it.

thats not it


go up on your pilot. Cam-mod makes it run lean. The choke gives a hbit more fuel to start when cold right so if you richen the mixture it will run perfect. Thats my 2 cents

Yea i guess your may be right. It will not run at all unless is choked even when its hot. Plus it wont idle.
