A Few Exhaust Questions


Recommended Posts

Rejetting is necessary when there is a change in the air to fuel mixture. It can be with altitude or it can be with changing parts like intake and exhaust components. Now that I have this written I think that txduggan was being a smart as* and this makes me look like a dumbass but I gonna leave it anyway. :dammit:

I wasn't being a smart as*.....

I was sharing what what minute engine knowledge I have! ;)

And only because I am not engine-inclined, I still believe rejetting for climate change is a little suspect....

I'm sure there are areas where this could be valid; Alaska comes to mind......but I still think it's a design flaw if there's a need to rejet due to climate.

I like to learn at least 1 thing new every day, so I'm all ears!

Seriously!

I consider that being part of dialing in the carb. No, I didn't say it. You mean you guys can't tell what I'm thinking?

I consider it part of the "operation" as well....BUT!!!! Not to many people think about it....

Like I said before.....NO ONE can Jet a Carb online.....Lets all keep that in mind when Giving advice about Jetting...All motors are Different,,,,Everyone lives at different Elevations/Climates,,,, One mistake can Ruin a motor...(Ive done it)

Sooo,,,That being said....IMO,,,,,if you want to play with your Carb.....Either Take the Time to Read up on it(Actually find a Nice Tech. Site or good book, or Friend to walk you through it) or take it to a Mechanic....100 Bucks to pay someone is Less than a Grand for a new top end....

And this is why I dont tell anyone how to Jet their Carb....:laugh:

I totally agree that changing jetting for a climate change is a little wild sounding and the only thing I can think is a very highly tuned race bike or if in climate they mean because of altitude. I also like to learning as much as possible and am always open to hearing anything new.

      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!

      Hey all,
      I need some input on a problem I'm having with my Kodiak 400 that keeps fouling plugs. First off, I've done a lot of work to this thing, most of it all in good fun. Brake work, cv joints, u joints, carb kit, checked valve lash, compression good, changed all fluids, etc... My problem is it keeps fouling plugs very quickly. I can put a new (manual recommended plug) in and it starts right up, runs great, idles great, picks up good. Doesn't stutter at all. I ride it for 1/2 a mile, it cuts off and won't start back up. I let it sit overnight thinking maybe it got to hot. Try to start it the next day, nothing. Put a new plug in, fires right up, runs great for another 1/2 mile or so, dead. The plugs come out and look carbon fouled with dry black soot on them. I don't know if this is a fuel/air mixture problem or a ignition problem. A couple of things that I noticed is I never need to pull the choke out to start it. Also, when it starts it automatically idles high like an automatic choke would do, then it comes back down to a good idle. Also I noticed that the air/fuel mixture needle valve screw does nothing when I adjust it in or out. I can screw it all the way closed and the motor still runs and idles good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost leaning to a ignition breaking down the plugs??
      Thanks!
