lineaway Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hey Chris, have you ever considered the exhaust could be plugged up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 It is possible to over pack a silencer, you might try riding without the silencer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris west Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 It leaked the same before I repacked .. The front pile seems ok but Middle is very oily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 It is not a matter of it leaking, it has to be able to breathe. What happened to your post about jet size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Chris, you should reply to Jon on the Boyesen reed post on what jets you found. Also verify what carb you have. It should be the VHST (flat slide), but the jetting you have is off for any that I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Chris, you should reply to Jon on the Boyesen reed post on what jets you found. Also verify what carb you have. It should be the VHST (flat slide), but the jetting you have is off for any that I remember. Lineway, Chris has a 2002 so the carb is undoubtedly a PHBL26. The VHST was only used on the 2003 Pro and is actually a pretty good carb (if you bought a new one) but I think they had a manufacturing defect/design in 03' that made them hard to tune. Hopefully he will post the jetting and we'll see if that's part of the problem. Cheers. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 He said earlier a 140 and a 30 pilot. I would have swore one post he said it was a 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 He said earlier a 140 and a 30 pilot. I would have swore one post he said it was a 2003. Jetting seems to be off: main should be probably a #118, pilot a #36 or #38 and try clip second groove from top. I don't remember any PHBL's with lower than a #35 pilot stock. May have been trying to compensate for the over rich main. I run a 116/38 combo in my 02' Pro but it has some mods. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 He had two posts that are gone. Yeah, I know what either carbs are supposed to be, it sounded like mikuni jetting. He has something strange going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has something strange going on. Seems quite a bit off, the VHST takes an even smaller main. Like I say, never assume a used bike you've bought has proper jetting (or has had any maintenance)....
