Hi,
I was wondering if I could get any input on something I am helping my uncle out with. He rides a '00 VOR 400 Enduro and the bike has had jetting problems since it was new. The problem consists of loading up when ridding slow in tight areas and a sputter when the throttle is held at 1/8 throttle. It also pops a lot out the pipe when the throttle is released after being opened. The carburetor is a Dell Orto VHSB 38 flat slide model. I have tried leaning the pilot and needle clip separately. When the needle is leaned out 1 clip position it got worse, so I put it back to stock and went smaller on the pilot, this helped some but it still pops when easing off the throttle and still has the sputtering at 1/8 throttle. On slow going trails the bike will load up and stall and then it takes a while to start back up. I am thinking that the de-acceleration popping is a lean condition, but it is showing signs of being too rich at the same time. This is what is confusing me.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Domenic
