'87 Carb issues
« on: August 15, 2013, 06:40:51 am »
So I Have a stock '87 500 with a fresh top end. I Cleaned the carb out and it fired up.
But now I can't get it to start reliably. While searching for the stock specs, it seems the '87 carb is just an unreliable POS. True? Should I get an 88+ or a PVK?

In stock form, the 87 carb has a lot to be desired. But you can send it off to HPR to get fixed to better than new.

I dont think the 87 carb is causing him starting issues. There might be something more going on.

What do you mean it wont start reliably?

Zilla's are a PITA to start when the jetting is off.
