airborneXX Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 just because the injectors are down there by the carbs and it was suggested to pull the carbs. I am not the most mechanically inclined and am always scared I will screw something up Maybe one of the injectors is broken/leaking/stuck open and causing your troubles.

jon haney Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think I detect a little sarcasm in some of these posts. Check the fuel solenoid on the nitrous system. If it's leaking, you would be running a little rich which could cause the symtoms you have described and foul the spark plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthend Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 would I be able to visually see a leak in the solenoid? I did ride in to work this morning. It seems that it when it first starts in the morning it is running on two cylinders and if I just let it sit on choke it will die. I kept giving it twists of throttle till it eventually seemed to "catch it's breath" and rev smoothly and run like it should. From then on I let it idle for about 5 minutes, then it ran great the entire trip to the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra fuel may only be pulled through the solenoid under vacuum, which is highest when the throttles are closed. Also, make sure the fuel pump for the nitrous system is not running during normal operation. Better yet, disconnect the fuel source entirely from the nitrous system. If the bike runs better after that, you'll know that was the problem.Since someone else installed the system, it's hard to know what they did. P.S. You still should consider installing new spark plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthend Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 i am sure that the fuel pump does not run unless the switch is on, I can hear it run if i turn on the toggle. I will be getting new plugs though, will install them this we4ekend. Thanks for all of the tips so far though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
