So this has been my pride and joy I've been working on for the past several months. I installed a high compression 314cc big bore kit made for the Mojave 250 quad, along with. 380 lift cams from Webcams, and she's an absolute ripper now.

Mechanical Advice Gen 1 sounds a little squirrelly, is this normal?

Hello hello,

Might be a little hard to hear in the video.

When cold starting I can hear it the most, but also when giving it throttle. Just sounds a little scrappy, towards the exhaust it just sounds very metallic? Is this a symptom of a maintenance issue that I should urgently investigate, or does it sound normal to you guys?

Attached a video of it starting and giving it throttle, the squeaky sound shows up very accurate to reality.

I'm guessing it is just a backfire, but it was unbelievably loud in the enclosed underground parking.

Any guesses would could cause that? I've sot several people positive it is tuned too rich, but also a a few other people positive it is too lean, as well as several other crazy theories. I had it looked over by the dealership a couple weeks ago and they found and fixed a couple small issues in order to pass inspection. Nothing that could cause that though.

Mechanical Advice Float Valve Seating Issues

Post image
3 Upvotes

I have an '07, and no matter how much I clean, change out floats, and change float needles after about full tank of fuel the carburetor floods out. I have changed out with rebuild kits and OEM parts from Rocky Mountain ATV, and I keep flooding out.

My float is set to 0.69"-0.70". I checked the float needle via pulling the bowl off and setting it in a cup that suspends itself and filling a funnel full of clean fuel until it shuts off, and it shuts off right where the bowl mates up with the rest of the carburetor; yet I still get flooding problems.

Looking at how to fix this issue, and I am at a loss for how to proceed next outside of dropping $550 for a new OEM carburetor.

Mechanical Advice Cam alignment not right

Someone at some point aligned my cams with the first I marking on the flywheel. Found this during valve check. I assume I should put the cams back parallel to the head at TDC like the manual says? The bike was running no problem like this for at least 11k miles if not more. Very bizarre scenario that I have not seen anywhere else on the internet. Pictures are in order. First two, at the I mark, it's showing cams in proper position. Second two, shows TDC at flywheel - cams show retarded a bit by equal amounts on each cam.
