Recommended reeds?

[declan]

@Calum it's working now bud thanks can you get v force reeds for the dt I just whooped some guys ass in a race but he said get some v force reeds and re jet

[declan]

@declan not only were all my reeds no good but my inlet manifold is completely screwed

[Calum]

@declan Lol. V Force Reeds.

It's more the V Force Reed block that you should be concerned with, and no you cannot.

Shouldn't worry though it's not going to drastically change performance. So long as you have some carbon reeds or plastic then that'll suffice.

[declan]

@Calum you mocking me m9?

[Calum]

@declan No? I was just saying I am pretty sure it's the cage you want not the reeds as I think the stock ang or carbonreeds are about as good as you can get. So don't waste your money.

[declan]

@Calum I'm kidding, I'm new to 2 stroke so I thought v force also did reeds but I've salvaged mine if flipped them and Gonma repair the inlet rubber and need to clean the carb after that hopefully she goes good

[Calum]

@declan A lot of crossers use v force reed blocks. They look like nice kits.

[declan]

@Calum so the reed flip gave me tones more compression carb cleaned intake boot repaired but I've still got the little bog/ stutter from idle would you say the idle jet needs increasing?

[Calum]

@declan You running the snorkel bud?

[declan]

@Calum yeah

[Calum]

You got the boost bottle fitted?

[declan]

@Calum yeah everything is connected and buttoned up it was doing this before I rebuilt it so it's not something I've caused pv works great so I got no idea you don't notice it when riding unless your practicing wheelies

[Calum]

Slight hesitence under load then?

[declan]

[Calum]

@declan Oh yeah that sounds like it's running lean.

You could just try a lower needle setting on the carb. See if that cleans it up slightly.

[declan]

@Calum will do thanks bud

[declan]

@Calum just dropped the needle the hesitation is still there but I've noticed when hot if I switch on the choke the bike does it didn't previously do this is this normal?

[finnerz89]

Once the bike is warm the choke should kill it

[declan]

@finnerz89 thanks bud, @Calum do you think the hesitation could be my header leak? And is it normal to have smoke coming from the powervalve mechanism

[Calum]

Smoke shouldn't be coming from the Powervalve area.

You need to sort these little niggles out in order for us to really identify the problem.

It may be a combination of a lot of things that are causing these issues.

Sort the powervalve out and we can move on from there.
