    It might be overheating from valves beeing too tight thats why you had boiling coolant

    Also adjust the accelerator pump spray to not hit the carb slide. That is what the screw is for. It’s called accelerator pump timing. It needs set to squirt and just miss the slide when opening. If it is late or hits it. It will affect performance. TH-cam video from Rocky Mountain atv on it

    Just a small tip for ya next time you do a oil change. After draining the old oil leave all the caps off and pour a bit of fresh oil in and let it drain, this way it will help flush out all the dirty oil just like you did with the coolant.

  • @ChrisGuthrie
    @ChrisGuthrie 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You know, I've had identical decel popping since I had my bike some almost 3yrs now, through a professionally complete top end rebuild, cleaned and jetted carb, pretty much everything I could personally throw at it, and still she pops and is hard starting etc.... But, I'm going to have to check the valve clearance myself as I'm almost certain after watching this series that's what I have going on with my 07'. Man I'll be glad when if I can get this thing running close to as good as yours does. Congrats btw, you came into this not really knowing much about this bike, and you owned it

      @icantcomeupwithaname8925 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Had that problem on my kx450f, it’s probably caused by a worn carb body which allows the slide to move back and forth which causes air to leak past the slide. I fixed mine by gluing shims to the slide to take up the slack and it completely fixed the problem. Check for back/forth movement in the slide, if you have a noticeable amount it’ll probably cause leaking. Look for up and down movement as well which is caused by a worn slide. I have a video on my channel showing the up and down movement, didn’t get one of the back and forth movement though.

  • @radioace318la

    After finishing any bike series you should go for a four wheeler. Specifically a 1986 Honda Trx200SX. They never die, but the parts are sort of hard to get and you have to custom order them. Would make a great series if you found one in bad shape, and bring it to completely working any everything.

  • @karlitosway4791

  • @LeeKirkman88
    @LeeKirkman88 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Normally popping means its too lean too much air a lean condition would also run hot . And of course valve clearances aswell as coils and sparkplugs can cause issues. You know when its too rich normally as it bogs down when you rev it and fouls up plugs.

  • @kurtg3891
    @kurtg3891 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have an 04 i bought last month and i have similar popping now and it sounds like its coming from up at the valves but theres no signs of carbon or soot emitting out from anywhere on the engine... also i have the backfiring while decelerating which i noticed immediately ever since i bought it.. i wish i could see a video on your valve adjustment fix because i think thats gonna be the ticket to get my bike running as smooth as yours too..? Also i generally try to go fast enough to keep it cool but 1 time i did boil out some coolant when i rode very slowly uphill for about 15 mins with my girlfriend on the back.. these kick start only bikes without batteries have no radiator fans so you need to be moving fast or the radiator gets no airflow and so it just otherwise heats up like crazy if you go too slow for too long..

  • @maddmaxx636
    @maddmaxx636 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Heres a tip I've learned on cleaning and rebuilding carbs. Buy a ultrasonic cleaner that has heating and then use your choice of cleaning chemical. I used Purple power which worked ok but next time I'm using real carb cleaning chemicals. Like chem-dip. Just because I know its carb body/parts safe and can probably do a better job. Plus, that shit eats old gaskets away.

  • @kevinkindle7002
    @kevinkindle7002 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yep why you where backfiring valves where out. Should run like a top now. You think it had power before. And if you hear sound in the radiator you have air in the system. Run it without the cap to bleed all the air out top off as needed. Also motion pro sells a chain slack tool for like 20.

  • @Burntrice747
    @Burntrice747 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s not just the accelerator pump because I rebuilt mine and it would still do that until I tweaked the carb.

  • @addagwenlyn9662
    @addagwenlyn9662 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just asking, why didn't you burp the radiator ? You know, run the bike at approx 3000 RPM's with the radiator cap off for around 5 minutes until the engine gets to operating temp, then idle another 5 minutes then put the cap on, then shut it off. You might need a new cap too. Lastly check your valves.

  • @oilinmyblood3906
    @oilinmyblood3906 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a feeling that you're popping issues are because you're still running too lean, your main jets are still a bit too small, your idle jets I think are ok but if you want you could just bumped them up a size or two, I would up your main jet a little bit also, I think that should fix your popping issue, or you need to re-adjust your air fuel mixture ratio, but actually that diaphragm on that accelerator pump is so shot that I'm pretty sure that will definitely fix your popping issues but if it doesn't then go to your Jets

      Just don't over rev it. It can be checked fairly easy, line up timing marks on the bottom end at top dead center that's the T mark on the mag to the pointer on the case. And then check timing marks on top end on cam gears with the timing marks on cylinder head. If both top and bottom marks don't lineup at the same time something is wrong. And while the top cover is off check the valve clearances too. Really simple process. Or have a shop do it for you, will save a lot of expense in the future.
