tuning my quad???

[350warriorz]

alright guys..this morning i put on my modquad intake system with the k&n clamp on filter..(what a job that was wish i woulda went with the prodesign one!) anyways the only mods so far are the intake system and a white brothers e series exhaust with all the rings off for straight through flow.. i havent jetted it yet because i have an edelbrock carb on the way...im sure its running a little lean now but i dont think its too bad..the metal part on the spark plug is whitish and the middle part is white too.. that means its lean right? i ran it a little bit and it did pretty good..through the midrange it feels a little sloppy and hesitant top isnt bad...it did leave a pop once on deceleration out the exhaust which tells me its lean also i think.. im not gonna ride it too much till i get the new carb and get it tuned up good ..i dont want to hurt anything ..let me know what you think guys

check your valve clearance if it still does it when u get the edel

i dont think its the valve clearance cuz it just started runnin a lil different after i put the k&n on this morning..it was fine before that..

anyone else have any comments??

jetting.... why even worry when your not jetting the quad and getting an edelbrock?

 

[350warriorz]

yea i know..i just dont wanna hurt the motor or anything if i ride it a little before i get the edelbrock...it runs pretty good though now so u think it'll be ok for a week or so??

Adjust the valves to the lowest tolerences possible... that will richen it up a bit. I dont reccomend running for long like that. a week might not be bad as long as your not out all the time.

^^^^ what he said, or since its just a week, you could just hold off of riding it till you get the new carb.
