Author Message   Goody Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 09:00 am:        After breaking the original belt on my 01 M2L, I figured I should replace the rear isolators with the belt. What a job and in my personal opinion, using the spreader tool is the way to go on the isolators. I made my own tool with 3/8" all thread, nuts, washers and some sockets. Anyway to my question, once I got her all together and went for a test ride, I now have a lean issue with engine missing and sputtering, with choke on the bike runs better and doesn't decel pop, so I know its not a electrical issue. I just did the intake seals and I thought I may have lost the fuel adjust screw but it is there. I'm hoping its something simple like a clogged low speed jet or pinched fuel line. Any suggestions beside what I think it might be?   M2marc Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 09:25 am:        have you tried the A/F mixture screw. sometimes just a quarter turn.   Goody Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 09:35 am:        I'm going to give it a try tonight when I pull the carb off. It was running great, it sat for a week and a half while I waited on parts, fired right up but started sputtering and coughing right away. I figured the fuel screw may have vibrated out (I have had that happen before on dirt bikes) but it was still in place.   Buellistic Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 10:25 am:        CARBURETOR TUNING Class 101, just PM me for a copy ...   Cyclonecharlie Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 10:34 am:        Check the vacuum line on the carb.   Goody Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 12:13 pm:        Good point charlie, I didn't look there. Buellistic, I made all the jetting mods you mentioned before. I know I have a clogged jet or vacumm leak somewhere. I forgot to check the vacumm line and since I moved stuff around its possible I knocked it loose or off.

Talk about a feeling of relief, I wasn't in the mood to tear apart the carb after replacing the isolators and drive belt this weekend.   Cyclonecharlie Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 11:15 pm:        Some lessons we don't forget...glad to be of help.   Goody Posted on Monday, June 11, 2012 - 09:41 am:        200 miles of riding this weekend, not one problem, even cured the base gasket leak on the rear cylinder. Crankcase vent hose was kinked so I routed the hoses back to the intake tract to avoid crankcase pressure and the base gasket leak went away. Some things are just better off left alone...or until I get the banjo bolt breathers from Al. lol
