Mixture screw help PLEASE!

[ponz]

Hello everyone,

 

I made the mistake of having a friend adjust my carbs a few months ago. I have an '03 MRSV, running with K&Ns and all the pollution stuff plugged and rolled up. I also have the four tits stemming from the carbs plugged.

 

I checked the spark plugs today and the bike is running extremely lean. My buddy does not remember where the mixture screws were at when he started turning them out a few months ago.

 

I have been getting popping on decel too. So I turned out the mixture screws a complete 360 turn and the popping persists. I need to ride it for a while and check the plugs again.

 

Can anyone tell me a good setting, for these screws, FROM BEING BOTTOMED OUT, while running with K&Ns and with the all the air polution stuff plugged?

 

Many thanks in advance - Ponz

2 1/8 to 2 1/4 turns from bottom, is correct for the 1st gens. Not sure if 2nd gens are the same, but should be about the same.

Thanks George.

 

I keep getting some breaking up / popping un decel in the driveway. I even put the stock air filters back in. Will it ever go away since I disconnected the all that ABS stuff?

Me thinks, the Pilot Fuel Jets are clogged.

Isn't that the reason to do all that plugging and stuff to get rid of the decel popping?

And I thought the mixture screws are behind a plug that would need to be drilled out to make any changes.? At least thats what the dealer told me.

The plugs, actually cones, in this case have already been removed.

Might, be time to run a can of Sea-Foam, if not allready done.

I'll give it a shot George. The only reason my buddy was in there to begin with was to clean the carbs! Arggg
