Engine buggered - a sort of rebuild thread...

[Minter]

Took the wee beastie out for a bit of laning this eve with Alex and Guy. Ran ok but half way up a lane I smelled burning - the headers were WHITE hot!! Shut down and rested it a while. So its ok on the road I guess with plenty of airflow but running very lean. The needle is up by 3.6 already and Im running a 42 pilot. I could swap the K&N air filter out for a standard but would rather increase the fuelling than decrease the air - any tips?

Ride faster down the green lanes!

Bigger main? or tape up some holes on your air box?, paper filter? HTH...

Bigger main jet if running a K&N.

Try a standard filter to see if that cures it then if so, up the main jet for the K&N.

Main heat is occuring when bimbling along the lanes in the night, so only crawling along really - will this be the main still? Mark, Ill try that 170 when/ if you go back to a 160..
