07 Nytro took it off the trailer a month ago and it wouldn't run...cleaned carbs and seemed to run fine...now runs fine be idles really rough? synced the carbs and still rough? Still has old gas in it?

Try fresh gas. If it still runs rough you may have to re-clean the carbs. _________________ Think Snow!

lean the carbs. | Just like gcr3903 said, but I would dump a can of sea foam in with a full tank of fresh gas.  _________________ 06 Rage Red

I agree with the above and throw some new plugs in it doesnt take much to foul those little buggers! _________________ No ride is better than your next ride CURRENTLY SHOPPING FOR A NEW RIDE |

Wow I was thinking the gas...i did throw a can of seafoam in with this tank...Thanks guys I'll try the plugs and some more seafoam. just so I'm not missing anything when cleaning the carbs how many jets are there? Anyone using a different plug? with the Rx sleds I remember people changing to I think CR10ek?
Thanks again _________________ 09 Nytro RTX

There are two jets in each carb that need to be cleaned the main jet and the pilot jet which is the most common for plugging up but on mine this fall coming out of storage all 3 pilot jets were plugged and 1 main jet plugged solid I hope this helps _________________ No ride is better than your next ride CURRENTLY SHOPPING FOR A NEW RIDE |

Hoss thanks I cleaned the mains and pilots on all three carbs. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
That's all the talk about JETS i can take for today after the NY Jets beat down my Pats today! _________________ 09 Nytro RTX

Run that old gas out of it first like was said then you can start to figure out what could be wrong. Thinking you will need to clean the carbs again and new plugs and a fuel filter would all help. _________________ 2010 Vector silver and black--4620miles
