2002 XL1200 Sporty, Outlaw 587 intake with breather kit, SS11 slip-ons, rejetting kit from CVP. So I dismantled my CV carb, cleaned it up with 3 cans or carb cleaner, ( that was my mistake ) . Then did the rejetting to CVP instructions right to the tee, I might add the directions were excellent, reinstalled the carb and low and behold.....would not start. The bowl was full but no gas to the intake of the carb. So I ordered from CVP, some carb parts, slide with diaphragm, accelerator pump, ez-fast idle screw, already have the ez-fuel screw, and intake manifold Gaskit. Well , added all the parts, and low and behold the accelerator pump was totally destroyed. Ok reinstalled carb and was real hard to get started. Finally after about an HR of messing with the mixture screw I got her running. Went for a ride and went about 2 blocks it bogged down and stalled out and never started again, have to push her home. Been playing with the fuel mix for days and she was always hard to start but I got her running. Well myself and 3 others on Weds. ( yesterday ) were riding from Cape Coral to Cafe 27, and I figured.....good run I can tune the carb in on the trip. Well she bogged down and carb coughed, did a little adjustment, hard starting mind you but got her going again, and now back fired thought the exhaust, adjusted less fuel. So this went on for 3 times bogging down and pulling off the road side. What a PIA ! And this is in the coarse of about 15 - 80 Mls . I think the last to next time she bogged down at around 24-25 RPMs but ran great when I jumped on her. I figured ah to much gas, so backed the fuel down a bit, still hard to start up , took off and holy cow she's running really good, now we're on state Rd 80 1 mile fron 27 and she Boggs down again, I'm doing 65 Mls per hr.... out of gas, turn to reserve and she goes for about 1/4 mile and bogged out again. Well my friends ride and get me a gal. Of gas and ended up killing the battery because she wouldn't start. Got ahold of my son and being a great guy he leaves work and take a 1.5 HR ride with his truck and picks me and my scoot up and gets me home, what a guy! Now I have TTI's from DK Customs and want to know if before I even attempt to see what's wrong should I take the baffles out, install the TTI 's then start the process of figuring out my problem so when I start adjusting fuel mix with them in? And maybe someone could give me some advice on the problem I'm having.

 

This is my accelerator pump I replaced.

 

Question? Back fireing from exhaust to much gas and coughing threw carb not enough gas!

 

With that much material missing from the accelerator pump, I am wondering if one of the jets is plugged. Second thought about back firing through the exhaust makes me think of ignition timing.

 

I forgot to mention.....before the bog down she'd be bucking like a bull. Then the bog would start. It's really got me frustrated

 

I would check the timing, sounds more like the timing is off than being carb related

 

Timing! Really! Never bucked before the carb saga

 

Did you replace the intake manifold gasket that connects the carb to the manifold?

 

I thought you were having same problem prior to working on the carb, if so that's why I am thinking timing

 

Yes I did replace the intake Gaskit. And no, no problems with its running before the carb saga, with adding the free flowing outlaw kit and the slip'ons I needed to rejet, to lean. Well, I did have on occation have dexcelleration popping and coughing carb with the origanal Set up, that's when I bought the scoot home from buying it, and went with the outlaw kit. I still want to remove the SE baffles and add TTI's.
