Rebuilt RD needs choke on to pull load

[m in sc]

you need the 5dp7 needle to use that jet tube. (p series)

the 5l1 needle is the stock rd350 one .

Where can I buy that needle? The bike is very hard to start now.

I ordered it from treatland! Thanks

The jet needle is not your problem.
Check for air leaks.

I was incorrect I did use the needles that cam with mod kit from economy cycle.

are you slides in correctly? half moon cutout on bottom towards the airbox

[4schizzle]

I'll check. I believe so. Thanks

[4schizzle]

I checked they are in correctly.

Old needle?

I keep re-reading this and the only thing I see that appears off is stock pipes no baffles. That will make it lean and not have any power.

[m in sc]

true, but it will run. travis did that with his r5/rd hybrid. it ran but like ass for the most part until i gave him a set of baffles.

whats the ignition situation on this bike?

[4schizzle]

HPI no battery no lights
NGK NGK Iridium Spark Plug BR8HIX

[4schizzle]

Cases split and all new seals.

Just thinking what i did to the bike.  Yz 85 reeds and reed spacers.  Bored .25 over.

Air leak. Check for one.
Compression. What does it have? 120-140 psi should be where a fresh top end should be.
Ignition timing. Check it. See Marks topic on the ignition you have.
Float height. Doubtful, but if you give it too much gas, it'll bog like crazy.

All things good, then unless you need a resistor plug, ditch those for the standard one. If I ran the resistor plug on my bike with resistor caps the bike just ran like shit. Too much resistance was my only other thought.
