My buddy just bought a 02 Edge X 700 and installed a Tempaflow in it. We ride to about -25F maybe a bit lower to be on the safe side. What I would like to know is how should the carbs be set up. Pilots, Mains, Needle, and Air screw. He also may be getting a hold of a PSI Center dump pipe. I heard just 2 sizes up on the mains for this pipe, am I correct? No need to change jetting for reed valves right?

Thanks

I guess i should add that the other reason i am asking is that we can be going down the lake and if he is right to the bar he can get 70 mph and if he lets off to about 90% throttle he can get up to 100. Weird bog when you push the flipper the last little bit.

At 800 ft I run 480 mains and 1/16 lean on tempa flow. I'd forget the pipe change. Clean VES and check diaphram, should be the new orange ones not the black. I have Boyesen reed petals.

He is too rich, letting off slightly is when the needle drops back into the nozzle slightly, and leans it out. Go down to 480 mains. Leave everything else stock adjustments. For with the pipe, you do not need to jet richer.

What are the stock settings? Searched the site and i have seen 440 to 500 for main. Would like the stock settings so i can go from there.

I ran 470's since new, went to 480 with Tempa Flow like everyone else in the world.

OK, so we check out the carbs for anything out of the ordinary, everything is stock, 500 mains, and put VForce 3's in and now the bog is WAY worse. bogs at 1/2 throttle now. He will have an SLP high flow airbox tomorrow, and SLP pipe/can in a couple days. Do the Vforces richen it up even more? He is also getting 480's tomorrow. 480's good enough with SLP Pipe, SLP airbox, VF3's, and a tempaflow?

I am a real noob at tuning so i am not too sure which way to go.

Really Appreciate the help.

if it is bogging mid rang should the needles be lowered? clip one slot higher? Just shooting in the dark now, LOL.

did you clean the exhast vavles

If they are stuck closed you will loose performance from upper mid too top end

I'm with classic7 on the valves. Check the bellows, fuel filter and other basics. The 02 had a great air box for flow and IMO does not need the slp modification. Don't drop the needles unless you plan on rebuilding motor. Have you cleaned clutches and replaced springs? Stock set up with the 02 is a great performer and if your making those mods without having stock set up working you may have a lot of trouble.

only about 400 miles were put on the sled since the exhast valves were cleaned. When the tempa flow was put in it bogged slightly when the throttle was wide open, now with the v-force reeds there is a REALLY nasty bog at 1/2 throttle but I can still get up to 100 if I just let off a bit and find the sweet spot. We put an EPI clutch kit in November, but I plan on throwing some heel clicker weights in when I get the pipe/can. Will try going down to 480 mains, hopefully it helps.

sounds rich,adjust fine tuning on Tempa flow to see if it makes a difference. Watch your plugs and piston wash!

Make sure that the vacuum source hose to the tempaflow is not cut too short, as well as the reducer hose.

tempaflow install was done by someone who has done lots. Followed directions completely. Measured the hose as they said and everything.

put in 480 mains and a high flow air horn kit from SLP and seems to be stretching the arms nicelly at full throttle thanks for the help guys!

Another thing to check when cleaning exhast valves on these engines is to make sure the reference hole in the cylinder that signals the bellows is not plugged up with carbon. Common problem. Also, when "pockets" speaks it is a very, very good idea to pay attention. Peace, beeler

If you have to back off on the throttle to go faster, the signal she's getting is rich.
