94 3TB xt600e poor running issues
I'll start by saying I'm no expert so I may well be missing the obvious. Also I'm 26 and still learning alot.
Having some issues with getting the bike running well. I ride it to work on 30mph roads but when i tried going on faster roads it didnt like the high speeds. Also doesn't like it when I give it lots of throttle. It starts feeling like it wants to stall and just loses power. It has plenty of power low down in the revs and pulls strong on low throttle.
- Stock air filter ( I have a DNA that came with the bike but it looks like its missing the foam sealing section)
- Supertrapp silencer
- Not sure if it matters about headers?
- 130 jet in the primary
- 120 jet in the secondary
- 48 pilot jet
- Air screw needs to be 2-3 turns out for it to run.
- Starts well on choke.
- Float height set to 26mm
- I think the secondary needle was 1 up from bottom
- Can't remember the primary needle setting ( can check if is important)
- secondary starts opening once primary slide is 7mm open
I've got new inlet rubbers on it and both them and the airbox- carbs rubbers seem good and sealing fine.
The plug always seems to have sooty deposits, suggesting rich mixture but the jetting and silencer makes me think it shouldnt be?
Why would it only happen when i give it a handful?
What tests should I do to work out whats causing the issue?
What jetting should I be using for this set up?
thanks in advance!
