The little ball? Please explain this further for me. Thanks.

 

LOL....that damn needle jet is a tricky bugger!

 

Still having same issues with bogging down when twisting the throttle (it idles ok).

@ SPanners: Took out the spring and needle and had same bogging problem.

@ Mia: The "silver item" can only go in one way, otherwise I could not get the emulsion tube / main jet holder to thread into the carb.

I pulled the carb apart, cleaned everything and used carb cleaner to squirt through the orifices - no apparent blockage / clogging. My previously new float bowl gasket is ripped, but I do not have gas leaking in that area.

I installed a 48 slow for S's & G's - same bogging as before.

I am thinking I have a leak at the manifold gasket area where it mates to the cylinders.

More fun for tonight. lol

 

Greenhawk, the 'silver item" or needle jet goes in very easily the wrong way, and is a very tight fit to seat the right way. If the internally beveled edge isn't facing up into the venturi, you have it upside down and will have just the symptoms you are talking about. It will go in correctly, it just takes patience to seat it as it is a very tight fit.

 

I highly recommend you go to a 48 slow speed jet before you do anything else.

 

I would think that slow speed jet is way too small...but I suffer from what's called Carb-retardation.

 

Is it bogging while riding or bogging in neutral or both?

 

This is the "silver thing" that is installed before the emulsion tube / main jet holder - the needle also "slides" into it.

I have it installed with the shorter end facing up (narrower opening) - see pic #1 (in palm) and pic #3. Tried installing with longer end (larger opening in pic #2) and I could not get the emulsion tube / jet holder to screw into the carb.

Already installed a 48 slow...still bogs. This is just in my garage, I get it to idle, but bogs when twisting the throttle - no actual riding yet.

 

Something's wrong here, the slide should lift all the way with the stock spring, the plastic needle holder installed correct?
Does your needle have a clip with grooves?

This picture may help to see if parts are installed correctly.

What size hole drilled in slide?(should leave it stock size)

The nozzle (silver thing) should have the larger hole up.
Longer end up, it's a snug fit, should protude through the carb body, don't booger it up.
You may have a burr or something making it hard to line up and install.

 

Could there be something with the timing advance. Acc. pump works idles fine bogs when you twist throttle what is missing.
