Carb problem

does it just need adjusted or something more?

that crapy pod filter you have aint gonna help.Its now running lean when your not at WOT thats assumeing you hav up jetted the main jet if not the your lean all the time

go back to the stock air box this aint a 4 stroke its a 2 stroke

Holy * dude we told u over and over agin I are going to run tooooo lean with th pod filter do u know what that means???? It means not enought fuel oil in the chamber and if that happens ure engine can seize.... There are two ways to fix this upjet (bigger main jet) or get the stock filter plain and simple tuning tips can be found in ure manual

One if you read my build post I do not have a oem air box that's why I had to get this one

Second I did not ask anything about if I had to upjet or not I know I have to do this..

And third please go back to school and learn to spell thank you

My motor is not over heating also If you read above in my post I gave y'all a link to my build

I know spelling has nothing to do with what he is saying but at least spell right if your going to tell me what I already know thanks

how do you no your not over heating ????
do you have a gage???
have you done a plug crop??? lite brow is not good it shood be a dark brow

as for your other post you have been told that the motor will over heat becase your running lean and it will fry the motor
if you are going to not up jet the carb .. then tape off most of the air filter so it be richer mix

Yes I have a gauge thank you and I have plugged almost all of the air filter inside and it still wants to shut off

you may need to a just the carb when the motor is hot

What temp should I tune at?

this area is full of info http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?title=Main_Page in it you will find this http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?t ... ts_-_Spree Your engine should be totally warmed up when adjusting the carb. good luck

Not tuning for temps you need to adjust ure idle screw in an probably ure mixture screw our ure shooting for 1800 Rpms but tuning will be pointless until u upjet
