Dont have much for distance just my mini and a 17 hmr so looking to play under 300 yards.

I will try spraying some more carb cleaner into the housings. I should have paid better attention to where all the hoses were running when I took it apart? Fuel line is a no brainer the vent tube off the petcock runs to the little nipple on the other side of the carb thats sucking air in right? Man I hate carbs.

Never owned a dual sport before this one. Like I said if I can get the carb fixed by the time the ride comes around I would be interested to go bounce it off some trees and drop it in the mud a few times LOL!

Rough to start even with choke on. Will start with choke and prime on the petcock though. Once started it runs for a few mins then will stall like it is starving for fuel. I pulled all the line off and checked them and cleaned the carbs. I have the stock pipe and air filter with the air fuel screw set at 2 1/4 turns out from light seat. The main jet looks to be a 135 and the primary jet is a 37.5 I am guessing these are stock jet sizes? When I got the bike it had a flat spot at 5-6k rpm. Even when warm. All I have done so far to it was clean the carbs twice and reinstall them. I also checked the needle it is stock and the slide is clean and not hanging up on that.

SO I am having a harder time getting the carbs sorted out on my dr 350 I just bought? took them out cleaned them up some checked all the jets to make sure they are clean(they are). And put it back in after cleaning the air filter. it still is messed up and is even worse then when I got the bike. How can working on a single carb be so hard? it is killing me that I am having such a hard time. so does anyone think they are pretty good with carbs? and would help a dumb ass out for getting it sorted out again? Willing to throw some monies and beer to anyone willing to help.

If I can get my carb sorted out on the dr I might be up to try this. I am a total newb on dirt sorry. Bike would be a 99 dr 350 se with dirt knobbies on it.

If its a sunday I will try to make it down. Otherwise have fun be safe.

Or just use grip tape...

Like I said it stuck to my dirt bikes plastics. try a small section first to see how its gonna stick to the wood.

DR350 se LOL! I am glad I picked mine up. Might need some tlc but is a great bike.

yeah that should equal a bag of sugar in the tank right?

Naty ice for the win...

they have a 06 drz400sm by me for sale for 4400 LOL might be easier to just buy one, lots of goodies on it.

I just did 120 miles on my dr 350 filled the tank and it took 1.76 gals. So it is some where over 60+mpg. The triumph is getting around 35-38mpg. But my car gets around 30mpg. so it gets picked over the speedtriple some days.

Don't make me break out the hostile amish tapes.

I use to like the little pig song in high school...

Was just in shitsburgh yesterday at kennywood with the kids it is all hills around there has to be some good riding around there?

I now remember why I hate carbs LOL! Still tinkering... Did get the speedo cable in today and put on. nice to know haw slow I am going.LOL

Yep he did and could not understand why his bike would not run.... LOL

I am gonna try it with my 99 dr 350 se... Will see how well that works out?

FUNNY Likwid but newbs will not remember that thread.

does it come with a free t-shirt?

Next on the list is new handle bars and hand guards. First I need to tinker with the carbs some more. Zach what ya want for that pipe?

$400 for a .22 wanna be ar is way to much if you ask me. They look cool but just buy a ar and get a .22 conversion. or this mossberg looks to be a much better deal.

Me to c-bus I hunted dillion last year kinda scary. Also sat and froze my ass off at midget todds place for a day or so. This year??? who knows where I will hunt?
