Anybody live in the grand rapids area that can???

Does your Spree/Elite already run great, and you're trying to make it quicker/faster? Need a monster motor swap? Discuss your ideas here.

Anybody live in the grand rapids area that can???

Post by fastgtp99 »

Help me with a couple of problems. I installed my Bore kit and 9 to 1 gears clutch spring and all that good stuff on my 94 elite and it bogs out when i give it throttle. I 1.00mm drill bit for the jet and i dont know if I went to big or its not big enough. My airbox is still stock though. Vtcycles told me to drill a couple of holes in it and see, i am going to try that right now. just wondered if someone could help me get it tuned. I am sick of putting gas on my car!!!

Do a plug chop before hole drilling.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Insulator wet and black is rich drill a 1/4 inch hole in the lid and try again. make sure your needle clip is in the middle position. proper plug chop instructions can be found in tech docs.

never drill holes in the cover, take it off and cut out the plugged side of the intake then use a # 85 or 87 main jet, this is standard, i hope you did the other derestrictions?
Can't afford speed then stay away from it!
