ponz Posted April 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2009 Hello everyone, I made the mistake of having a friend adjust my carbs a few months ago. I have an '03 MRSV, running with K&Ns and all the pollution stuff plugged and rolled up. I also have the four tits stemming from the carbs plugged. I checked the spark plugs today and the bike is running extremely lean. My buddy does not remember where the mixture screws were at when he started turning them out a few months ago. I have been getting popping on decel too. So I turned out the mixture screws a complete 360 turn and the popping persists. I need to ride it for a while and check the plugs again. Can anyone tell me a good setting, for these screws, FROM BEING BOTTOMED OUT, while running with K&Ns and with the all the air polution stuff plugged? Many thanks in advance - Ponz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeS Posted April 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 16, 2009 2 1/8 to 2 1/4 turns from bottom, is correct for the 1st gens. Not sure if 2nd gens are the same, but should be about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponz Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks George. I keep getting some breaking up / popping un decel in the driveway. I even put the stock air filters back in. Will it ever go away since I disconnected the all that ABS stuff? Ponz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlifeVenture Posted April 16, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks George. I keep getting some breaking up / popping un decel in the driveway. I even put the stock air filters back in. Will it ever go away since I disconnected the all that ABS stuff? Ponz Isn't that the reason to do all that plugging and stuff to get rid of the decel popping? And I thought the mixture screws are behind a plug that would need to be drilled out to make any changes.? At least thats what the dealer told me.

ponz Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted April 16, 2009 The plugs, actually cones, in this case have already been removed. Ponz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponz Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted April 17, 2009 I'll give it a shot George. The only reason my buddy was in there to begin with was to clean the carbs! Arggg Ponz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
