125-200cc WR144 Dead Engine Start!

Yeah, try the 35. Your gettin there! I just finished up on my new carb and final porting mods. I guess I had mine a little lean and went up on my pilot. Now it starts again 1st kick.

I put in a 35 pilot and rode a Grand Prix on Sunday. The bike started on the second kick. I crashed on the first lap trying to pass a KTM 450 at the top of a hill. He turned in front of me and I hit him. I went down and he kept going. Got the bike started and noticed after about a half a lap that I was losing power. Wouldn't even wheelie on the pavement! I figured the screen on the spark arrestor was geting plugged so I stopped where I found a stake lying on the ground. Used it to tear out the screen and holy shit! All of a sudden it ws making way more power. I had to be careful on the pavement sections not to pull the font end too high. Didn't wait for the results. Bottom line is I'm having a blast riding this thing. Oh yeah, I ordered an FMF Turbinecore off of E-Bay. No more Leo Vince for me!

Yep. There was a reason they quit using screens in the 2t silencers back in the early 70's. I was really surprised LV was selling them.
