Carb Question????

[iracekx]

If you did not pull the pilot jet out and use a welder tip cleaner in it you will never know if it's clogged or not. The center opening in that jet is very, very small and will plug with any dirt in the system. Pull it, clean it and then try to start it.
And yes a damaged hot start o-ring could cause the lean condition you speek of, but not in this case you have stated that it will speed up when activated.

I sprayed carb cleaner through it 2 or 3 times and blew compressed air through it and I could see light through it. It's just weird that I have to turn the idle up that much when the weather is cold. Once the bike is hot and have turned the idle down to about 1750 I can kill the bike and it will fire right back up on the first kick. I could go home right now with the temps we are having right now I would only have to have the idle up about 1 1/4 turns. I replaced all the o-rings except the one on the hot start, but if the bike is running and you pull it in the bike revs up. I throughly inspected the boot that connects carb to head and no cracks at all. I even put a new fuel screw in to make sure that was not the issue. Thank you guys for your help I will be a happy camper if I can get this firgured out.

Here is something to throw in that I tried I came home today with the idle screw @ 1 1/2 turns up the bike started on the first kick. I let the bike warm up then turned it down to idle around 1680rpm. When I would pull the hot start it did not make much difference. When the idle is higher you can hear a little more difference does that sound like the o-ring is starting to go? Do you know anywhere I can buy that type of o-ring without having to buy the hot start cable that cable is about 30 bucks. I hate to spend that much for a o-ring.

Hater,
Sunday morning I went out and the bike took quite a while to get started. I loaded up and went to Underground it started fairly easy there because the weather was warming up. I turned the idle down to normal idling and the bike started up up between 1-3 kicks throughout my day of riding. Does it sound like a jetting issue on my bike?

put a bigger pilot in it. one size

Since there is a 42 in there go to a 45? Will that also be OK in the summer?
Thanks again for you help Hater!

yes and just depends on how your bike reacts to it. I used a 45 part of the year and a 42 when it was really hot
