Hey guys!,
I got my chopper project running, charging and riding, so I took it to a buddy's shop for them to check the timing with a light (bc I don't have one) and jet the carbs. They were all stock (27.5 pilot). I figured they would have them in stock so it would be easier than me ordering a bunch of sets and waiting. Anyway, I probably should have just did it myself. They went up 2 sizes first, then had to order 3 sizes up, and now are saying it still seems like it needs more fuel. They are trying pilots in the 40's range at the moment. I don't think that this can be possible. Has anyone seen a need for a pilot so big or is something else wrong, like the advance sticking etc? Thanks.
