haha alright well we dont know what else to do i cant get the damn carb to seal i keep flooding the bike when im trying to start it..the pump is a lil big and the regulator is turned all the way down and i think its still getting to much fuel and pushin it through the carb and flooding the bike and then it leaks past the rings and into my oil so i have to drain the oil n start it over and we just keep doing that...

Are you guys having any problems with the floats and pressure when running a blow through. How much pressure can you run with a stock carb or a common upgrade like an fcr?

There are no problems when setup properly. I run 1.5 psi base fuel pressure and run 22psi boost for a total fuel pressure of 23.5 psi. FCR carbs are great in a blowthrough application.They have no needle and seat or float issues even with a stock size needle and seat. The only issue i have seen is when jumping they will flood on a hard landing so i dont recommend a turbo for jumping but that isnt their intended application, drag racing is.

well i stuck with the blowthrough and im running about 2lbs of boost right now starting off...here is the deal is start and idles perfect we are just trying to get the jet set...another question is i put all this on a 2005 and its a kickstart so how would have your pump wired in so it will run? right now i have it ran into my headlights but it acts like its pulling to much juice when i do that..
