Hi my typhoon 50 only did 27 miles on a full tank wtf?! It was running out quickly before I had my parts fitted (exhaust, cylinder kit etc) but this is just a piss take. It seems to be fine but then I turn it off leave it for a while and the fuel guage is in a completely differnt place. I have checked my ground for a leak the night after but theres nothing. Any Suggestions? :wtf:
well you have just put a sport kit on and a laser x pro. and you wll have upjetted quiye a bit so is defo going to use more fuel but that seems abit low. dosent help going full knacker everywhere like i do imp: which drinks petrol like twat :w00t:
I know thats what i added the disclaimer at the start but surely it shouldnt b anywhere near that low?
lol i wheelie all the time on my typh 125 and go full wack most the time and i get at least 60 miles for a full tank mabe 70
you sure it jetted right not running rich which will use more fuel then than need ? what main jet you got him? is a del 17.5 right ?
I'm running a 72 jet at the moment: 53 standard + Pipe + Carb = 72 jet (is this too high? seems to be running alright like this) Now I need to add my polini air filter what should I go up to guys?
B.t.w the reason im running a 72 is because my bike was bogging out past half throttle with a 68 main jet. I have drilled a load of holes in my airbox though because it wasn't getting enough air but now it is since ive drilled the holes with the 72 jet.
well mine with a del 17.5 was a standard 56 and was running a 67 with malossi sport bore and leo vince tt. u checked the jetting ?
when you upjetted from 67 up to a 72. if the engine dies out try lighter rollers then check the plug if you think its right. start high and get it rollerd right then work the jet down till the plugs white at full throttle warm. then go up one or two. check the fuel tap isnt jammed open aswell as the fuel will run out the carb and evaporate befor morning. float might be wrong or the fuel tank could even have a shit fitting somwhere letting it all run out (125 typhs second tank bottom pipe fitting is the worst for this) ether way the recorded mialage is not right for the fuel so theres somthing wrong, or your speedo's wrong an your driving it further than you think (joking)
but why would it be the rollers if its running fine now? and also ive gotta add an air filter so what should i go up to now guys
72 is usually fine for a filter. so making it rich has cured a roller problem and given you incredibly large ammounts of fuel usage. just try it
try something between 4 - 4.5grams for a laser the laser is an incredibly high revving pipe the revviest ive seen yet so for maximum performance you need a little lighter rollers, i prefer 4.1 grams rather than 3.4 or 4.9, but you do have a different motor and a different engine size, 4 grams would be worth a shot
I'm gonna get some 4g rollers tomorrow but I dont see how its going to make me use less petrol when my bike is running perfectly atm just using ALOT of petrol. :msn1:
i hav the same prob on my stalker, it was a tiny leak just as it connects to the carb, not much came out so it didn't look as if it was leaking because it evapourated before it got to the floor.
I think with lighter rollers you may find it wont bog with a lower main jet, meaning at the mo your running to rich so look at your plug?
but if you go too light on the rollers you're gonna use more fuel, coz it will rev higher and so use more fuel.
