So this is page 500. I've read at least 350 if these pages, with a pretty solid collection of bookmarks. I've had a few victories with the things learned, but always seem to find a way NOT to enjoy my bike. I can only get 30mph max on my df, I changed to a 38t and speedometer marks 35mph now. Not sure if that's actual gain of speed though. I opened up the carburetor to clean and inspect my jets. I have a Dec 2010 model, so jets are 105/40. I figured, well at least I know I can easily install new bigger jets. I put the bike back together, she has a hard time starting but after a while she cranks up. I get ready to go on a slow cruise the next day, she cranks right up and by the time I got my helmet on she died out. Now she won't start at all.
There's fuel going into the carb just fine. But when I squeeze the accelerator with no air filter on fuel does not squirt out anywhere except for the sides of the carb. I've now taken the carb apart several times to check if I missed something, didn't tighten all the screws, etc. She's just not starting.
