Title: bought two duc's this month, need carb help
Post by: bennyrae on May 27, 2009, 07:35:48 PM
Hello, ,i  bought the wife a 2000 monster 750 for mothers day.  I liked it so much and found a "parts bike" on craigs list so decided to save it and bring it back to life.
I got it running pretty well off idle to 3/4 throttle but w.o.t. it falls on its face either while riding or stabbing the throttle sitting.
it has new 12:1 pistons, new timing belts valves adjusted carbs cleaned and orings changed.  It has aribox removed with clamp on K&N filters and stock pipes

I put 172.5 started jets, 150 mains stock needles on 2nd from the top..

any suggestions would be appreciated, weak coils? still lean on the mains??  bad diaphrams?( they look good)

please help me save this duc

Welcome to the DMF.  I can't help you, but you might get more help if you post this in the tech section

I'm sure someone with greater experience than I will step up, but I'd take a WAG that your carbs are "all dressed up with no place to go."

I think dlearl may be on to something.

Pullthe cans and see if it will take the throttle.

The intake setup you have kind of requires a freer exhaust.
