PLEASE READ THIS! Install the airbox cover and all intake snorkels, they arent designed to be run with open air filters. If theres not enough vacuum in the airbox, the slides wont open properly or at all. I drove myself nuts working on something very similar. Hope this helps

I know it’s a year later but do you think increasing the amount of air the engine wants to pull by say aftermarket exhaust porting power commander etc would allow you to open the air box up without having problems with the carb? I’ve done a lot of 2 stroke custom tuning but I’ve never even took apart a CV carb

Hi Chris I'm a bike mechanic by trade in Denmark First of all, you should clean the small pilot/idle jets in the carbs (They have a TINY hole, so they get clogged very easy, even if the floatbowl looks in perfect condition), after that i would do a sync of the throttlebodies, and a valveclearence adjustment, this is easily done on this engine, no new parts needed, just a few feelergauges. I'm very confident, that the problem is with the idle/pilot circuit in the carbs, but also doing the valves/TB sync, will most likely make it run like a new machine :-) I hope this helps, and you are welcome to contact me for more advice if you want to. big fan of your work.

oh!! oh!! while i remember! The Pri on the fueltap is for priming the fuelsystem, it will bypass the vacum tap (wich only allow fuel to the carbs while the engine is running/producing vacum in the intake port) It is very important not to drive around on PRI on the tap, because it will allow the engine to fill up with petrol in the crankcase, if the float valves dont close properly. this can cause catastrophic engine failure (bent connection rod etc.) Also while I'm still writing; I'm not sure if the Kawa carbs has acceleration pumps, for a snappy throttle, this could also be the problem if they are present, but dont work. It will cause the bike to die on snapping the throttle as well as a clogged pilot/idle system would. Again, hopes this will help :-)

It doesn’t matter what the fuel is set on if the needle valve seals are good. The crankcase won’t fill up with fuel while it’s running. The only reason the crankcase fills up is when fuel is left on and the needle valve seals are no good. It allows fuel to keep flowing into the cylinder and leaking past the rings into the case.

You absolutely need to keep those valves set correctly and get comfortable doing it because the valves tighten up often. The intake valves and seats will eventually need to be done because you run out of adjustment. Worked at a kawi dealership for a few years when these were hot and did about a dozen of these head jobs on the 700 twin. They're also hard on the suspension joints because of the weight, other than that an occasional and these are pretty solid

One way I narrow down fueling issues is adding about a half a can of sea foam to about a gallon of gas. With its lower vapor point it sticks around in the cylinder a bit after ignition and kind of averages out the fuel input since it doesnt burn off as quick. If you have a jetting or carb issue and it runs better with seafoam, it narrows it down to that. If it does not run better, then next place to look timing or valves. With the timing that far off for so long, some carbon buildup may have formed on the valves which is maybe why they felt tight, but once that burns off, the could be loose again. But try the seafoam first, then if needed, giv'r an italian tune-up before checking the valves again.

I call that a win win in my book. My advice to get it running better is to drain that garbage fuel out again and replace it with NON ethanol fuel and take it for a ride and it will clean out the slime left on everything from the ethanol. If you intend to leave ANY gasoline powered equipment sit for more than 30 days you have to treat the fuel so that it doesn't do that in the future if you HAVE to run the trash with e in it.

I highly suggest taking the carbs off and going through them. Popping, backfiring and getting slightly better then more it works, in conjunction with the choke helping it to run right are huge indicators that it's running lean. Given it's sat for a while with old fuel in it also lends to the idea that the carbs are partially blocked or caked up.

A great thing to do with your control clamp screws, is install Helicoil kits with new hardware on anything that "clamps". A lot of the controls are made with soft/brittle alloys rich in zinc. -A terrible thing to add into the casting alloy of control set parts as a cost saving measure. Helicoils are your friend for a few reasons.

Those Kawasaki Twins (650, 700, 750, etc) are notoriously cold blooded. I've owned 3 at one time or another. Let them get good and warm before attempting to troubleshoot anything. And also change the rear differential fluid. It also lubricated the rear brake, because its an internal wet brake. And use the Kawasaki specified stuff. When tuned up, and running properly, those are a blast to ride. And yes, the V-Force 700 is a bit of an odd duck.

Check for valve adjustment. it’s often over looked but will cause backfiring back through loose intake valves when they sopposed to be shut tight.

I would check jetting as well. That wheeler needs to be jetted for that exhaust setup. My kfx sounded the exact same when warm at idle. Was told it’s just what they do.

You can try clean the needles in te carburators, can change those. I have the same problem in my motor and that's the problem i found, an other problem you can try to fix is the intake mainfold.

Check the compression. Tight valve lash, stretched timing chain. Could be in the valve train. Sticky, bent valve? Quick compression check would rule that in or out.

I feel your pain brother. I've been working this 2007 Honda Foreman 4x4. This ATV is a nightmare. I started going in sequence to make sure the ATV will roll or not. Battery, solenoid, starter, Carb, clean fuel tank, fuel sender, petcock, meter assembly, rear brakes with new cables, I'm probably forgetting a few things, but total cost right now is over 900 and it still doesn't go into gear. I've got a 13 code on the meter stating that the TPS is faulty even though it's brand new coming with the carb.

I noticed it has aftermarket exhaust on it have the carburetors been rejeted if not it will be running lean plus you will need to adjust the idle mixture screws which may have a cap/ plug over them that you may have to drill and pull out to get to the idle mixture screws one in each carb there are companies that sell rejetting kits specifically for your bike or ATV one like JD jetting other companies also as far as the CVT transmission they all seem to make a little bit of noise kind of like a clunking as you rev it, hope this information helps you

The main thing with the carbs that gets clogged is the little pilot jet that is used for idle... That's why it should still run fine when you ride it hard, but it will die easy at idle. Its the smaller jet that is long and has holes all in it like a machine gun shroud. Bad gas will clog it quick if it was sitting.

i tend to turn the bars upside down so your forcing down onto the screws then use an impact driver to crack loose the bond of oxidation between the ally and the steel when ever i have contact of different metal i always apply copper grease

it looks like some one changed the exhaust pipes on that maybe it needs to be rejetted for those pipes and the last person never did that, and i would try putting all the air filter hoses and clamps covers and so on on it and try it .. some times they will run lean without all the air filter hoses and pipes least thats a free fix .. good luck!!

Just a tip for ya. Whenever mounting a tire not on a machine or in a cage Always set the bead with the tire in the vertical position. If something ever goes wrong and the back side bead pops or blows off and sends that rim into a low earth orbit at least your face won't be in the way. I had this happen to me when I was a lot younger trying to mount a set of tires on my Dakota rims. Well the back side blew off and the tires went straight up hit a 25 ft ceiling breaking both my hands before coming to rest on a hood of a Pepsi truck.

Yeah I understand about the homemade projects there's a time and a place when you take them out and when you're going out with a lot of buddies that's not the time to take a homemade project out because there will be stuff that happens and it's nice to have good running stuff when you go out with your buddies so they're not waiting for you and plus it's nice to have something that runs good in case you need it during your test in tune days on your homemade vehicle that's what we tend to do down here in Central Florida love the content keep it up you're a great fabricator one of the best when it comes to the go-kart game sorry for one long sentence don't feel like going through and fixing it

Brake clean can fix vacuum leaks. It’ll suck the brake clean in and clean the junk causing a leak. As long as the line is split open. Sounds like it needs a little air/fuel tuning.
