Hi I'm writing bc I have removed my air box. plugged all appropiate holes per the video cleaned and rebuilt the carb with the kit. started with 148 / 48 jets. Then went down and tried different combo's always to rich. Went all the way down to the stock 142 / 45 and still to rich. Brought it to GB Motorsports in Rancho Cordova and after a week and $600 later they are giving up on the tune. They have jets 130/40 and say it is still to rich. I'm desperate to get the bike running well. It is now ideling but still to rich. I'm about to put the airbox back on but I really want to keep the volicity stack. I reviewed all of the tuning manual and had the carb apart 7 times before I finally brought it to the shop. I'm in the Sacramento Area and any help would be great.

TJ Admin Staff memberModeratorMember who has the rights to delete posts, and ban members form forum if they violate the rules.@Smeltie man thats a major bummer. if nothing you do to the carb changes the issue then its probably not a carb problem. the diagnostic tree is fuel spark compression, so id start looking at your spark plugs, wires and coils. putting the original instake back on may only be a bandaid for whatever is going on.
