Carburettor problems XT600E - 3tb.
As the search function at the site seems to be down i will write the question directly:
My XT600E -98 (3tb) runs well at idle, but when i throttle up to around 2000rpm it starts to backfire and doesnt rev any further up. 1st question: Is the problem related to primary or secondary carb? Secondary throttle function seems to open well, maybe missing gas? 2nd question: Pilot jet adjusts air mixture? At idle speed?? Setting? Tried 4 lapturns out. Something to start with...  / Henrik

If engine works even worse without air filter that would indicate that you have too lean mixture. Check two rubber parts that connect engine head and carbs, even little cracks could cause something like this. To properly check inlet rubbers you should take them down.

Start with Cleaning the carb and airfilter, and give it a new sparkplug.
And tell os more about the bike, has it sat for a while, did it just suddently start backfiring, or has it been faulty for youre entire ownership? Pretty important information. F.x It doenst help to adjust the air/fuelscrew, if the carb is filthy and clogged up, or if theres no airflow trough the airfilter ect.

The bike has been backfiring my whole ownership. But not this much! It was usable when i bought it..
I did change the intake rubbers to new ones and the rubber sealings as well. Clean carb check! New air filter mounted. It has a CRD slip-on mounted silencer, so i changed the jets from original 130/120 to 140/130 instead. I even did regrind the valves i the top, because they where burned, and rubber valve-sealings leaked. Also checked the valve clearence, seems to me its the first time thats ever been done, the bike has only gone 13000km. Lot of work has been done, so far undone..  / Henrik

Youre jetting is rich, you dont need to rejet mainjets for an exhaust-swap. If anything, go back to stock, and go up one number on the idlejet.

Now I have tried three different carbs, with the same results as before.
It seems to me the problem isnt the carb at all. Could be ignition problems. Already saw there is a weak spark.. Someone who had problem with the CDI-unit at a certain rpm?? More ideas where to look? / Henrik

a broken piston ring... do a compression test

If you have ruled out the carb, and the engine compression is good, it sounds like it might be the coil breaking down. It's quite common for coils to work OK at low revs but to break down when asked to do more work, or when hot. Cheap and easy fix if this is what the problem is.

Previously that was a question I made...
I've just remembered that I had a weird problem once slightly similar to yours. In my case I had a relay (one that attaches to the outside of the airbox right next to the battery with a rubber band. It came loose, broke the plastic casing and when driving it would make ground and the bike would backfire, even die... Can't remember much else besides what you and the guys have already said. Faulty wiring maybe? side stand switch going wrong with the vibration? The two cables (one orange and the other I can't remember) that connect to the sparkplug ignition coil slightly loose? Good Luck! Vando

When it back fires? Does it back fire through the carbs or out the exhaust?

The problem is solved!
I switched back down to original main jet settings 130 & 125 and did also switch the idlejet one step up from 46 to 48, this because the bike has an aftermarket Slipon silencer, brand CRD -absolute power II.. whatever that name means in reality?! I also discovered that ive had a broken airmixture screw. After replacing it with a new one, setting it 3 lapturns out the bike seems to run ok again. But before I found the problem in the carb.. ofcourse did I test the ignition coil at my local yamaha workshop. And It worked as good as a new one. Then I losened up every connection in the electricity wiring system and checked if there were any corrosion. It was also found to be ok. And my bike did backfire on both exhaust and carb -side. The main carb was beginning to melt inwards.. Lucky for the bike i found the problem, now it works as good as new! Thank you all for the help! / Henrik
