Also want to say, don't be afraid to put a fat main jet in it and go test ride it. If it's all fat and smokey you can come down a jet size or two and test again. Nice and safe.

As for the lean at idle, while it may need some fine tuning to correct, it's not going to hurt anything.

Thanks buddy. Im going to grab my tools, jets, plugs and head down to Croom tomorrow to take it for a few runs, see how it feels a what the plug looks like.

From the dyno graph I dont think it looks to bad.....what do you think. Maybe one of the motor guys on here will pop in hopefully.

Be careful with a lean condition down low. That's when a cold sieze can happen.

I stand corrected. I did not think a lean idle could hurt the engine. Apologize for the wrong info.

That is a perfect example of why I try to read things 2 or 3 times before applying them to my quad lol. Patience pays off.

Thanks.....you think turning the air screw in a half turn would help? Im 1 3/4 out I believe, I have to check and make sure the dyno guy didnt touch it.

Ya it can happen when running hard and then just chop the throttle.

I do not think that will hurt. That should richen up the pilot circuit some.

I'm just curious if that lean condition on the graph is under full throttle or not. I'm not questioning the dyno operators abilities at all, just curious. I know that part throttle will read lean.

He would hold it at 4000 then hit it, it would lean out then catch up with fuel. The guy jammed me up bad, ruined my train of though with the way he was doing things.

Do you have some main jets on hand?

If it ran decent on the dyno, I would turn the A/S in a bit as you said. Then I would throw a much larger main jet (say 180) in and do some testing. At worst, it's so rich that it wont run real well. If it does run well and cleans out I think that would tell you that the 170 was in fact lean.

I did the air screw, now it 1 turn out and yes I have some mains. I dont think its lean up top, just in the middle. I think Im good, going to ride it and check plugs. It is what it is.

You got it man. Just get some seat time and see what the plugs say. Have fun!

No prob at all man. I'm right there with you. Got a ton of help from these guys when getting mine right.

I'm still messing with jetting actually. Just fine tuning now.

This was after riding for 15 min, I could not do a wide open test, no room.

Don't want to trust a plug too much that has been ran at all RPM's, but I'd still say it's rich based just off the base ring of the threads being jet black.

Once you can open it up to full throttle, warm it up well and then throw a fresh plug in it and do the pull, shutting it off with the throttle wide open. That will be the most accurate spark plug to read.
