Turned out to be reeds. I had one petal on the front carb that was mildly warped. The rest seemed ok, but these carbon reeds were at least 6 years old and had been changed from one engine to another. I replaced the whole set (VF2's). Fired up and was back to its old self today.
Thanks for...
A true freestyle purpose built fixed steer gives me wood. Very nice project so far Senor. Looking forward to official debut. Send one to the SFF this October PLZZZZZ!

I'll double check N/S condition and verify pop off again. Never seen a lean condition from a leaking needle. I haven't changed any carb settings from original setup so the lean isn't from changes. Reeds on way from JM.

Correct me if I'm wrong...leaking N&S will cause super rich scenario (dribbling fuel and a stumbling engine) versus lean.

Pop offs are good. They're right around 22-24. This engine/carb setup has performed flawlessly for 16-18months...I mean crisp and jetted to perfection per Art/Jetworks and this symptom turned up last week out of the blue.
Pulled mani/reeds today. VF2's in R&D dominator. Just gross visual...
I didn't check the plug wires other than verifying I had spark on both. Coil was a refreshed one from JSS with new wires 2-3 seasons ago.

Although this article is from skidoo and for sleds, 2-strokes are 2-strokes. Bad reeds can cause a lean condition and or seizure. It is rare, but a definite possibility.

Stumped. I'm working from the outside in...
1. all fuel and pulse lines check out fine.
2. Pulled carbs. Gaskets from carbs to speed plate are fine and speed plate to mani fine. Haven't pulled mani off yet.
3. Disassembled carbs. Internal filters had some debris but definitely no...
Thx for input boys. Will verify reeds when I pull it.
Yep. Speed plate and gasket. Good idea on gasket leak. Will inspect carbs for cracks too.

Anyone ever had an issue with a carb intermittently running super lean? Dual BJ 46 carbs with a single fuel feed (single filter that's clean) split with a Y. R&D dominator with VF2's. Confirmed good fuel pressure from tank. Return lines are Y'd together too. Good spark confirmed but ultra...
Looks nice swap. I'm digging the navy felt. Y'all redo the bumpers? I got a 40+ year old Brunswick Heritage table. Mine needs bumpers redone. I'm gonna use a light beige/tan color felt on mine.

Completed my 6th season as my daughters soccer coach. We've won the local championship 3 years, finished second once and had 2 off years where we were mid-pack. It's a joy to watch ur kid have success at something they work at...also a drag to realize these times don't last but can only make...
