General Two Stroke Talk / Lawn guys said they could jet my bike? What do you guys think?

« on: August 21, 2010, 07:49:25 AM »

Okay so yesterday i was trying to figure out what the screws do on my carb. so i took the bike of the stand started it up and took it down the road in my neighborhood, I did this a couple of times. I passed this lawn care service that eventually stopped me. They said they rode too. And said my bike is smokin up a storm. I told them the situation and they said it definitely needs jetted. He said one easy way he could tell is that the pipe is not discolored at all where it connects to the motor. therefore mostly likely running too cool. He told me they had their own small motorcycle shop just up the road and that they could jet it for me. "One of the guys is a fellow two smoker lover" I asked them how much they wanted to jet the bike for this florida weather. They said they come through my neighborhood every week and would come talk to me about it.

I've been wanting to get the bike jetted ever since i got it. But I just don't have the time myself.. So I've been looking for a reasonable motorcycle mechanic that won't charge me an arm and a leg just to jet it. I'm currently using Bel-Ray HR1 but am wanting to use Klotz oils as i have buddies who love that stuff. If i switch over will it have to be jetted for that kind of oil? I'm runnin 40:1 with the bel-ray but would prefer to run 32:1. "I'm just mixing at the previous owners ratio".

Well the bike fired up fine today. maybe it got flooded? My friend is always coming in my garage and twisting the grips on our motorcycle lolz.

Is he always pushing the kicker down to feel the compression?

Yup he does that too lol

yes it will... get a new plug from your local auto parts store.

I didn't know they would carry the right ones. In that case i will pick up a few, so i can have spare ones for jetting

Just curious, As a couple of days ago i changed the oil in my bike. And started it up and just let it run for about two minutes since it had been sitting a while. But the trouble is that i shut it off. And later it wouldn't start back up. It had fuel. So i pulled the plug out it was a light brown and it was wet. "I know that means too rich. I'm still working on that" But when i plugged it into the boot and kicked over it sparked pretty good? Can it still be fouled???

Well I'm nervous about doing it myself. And like I said time is a problem here. It would be great to find a smoker veteran I can get to my house to help me out
