2003 chopper

[allenmp]

I have a 2003 chopper all stock but pipes when I take off it acts like its gonna die or it does die I have cleaned the aircleaner and plugs look good I can't take it to wichita anymore and kinda tire of paying someone to work on it anyways especially when they want paid for not fixing the problem the thing is I can't find a bunch of stuff that pertains to a 2003 unless the stuff for a 2005 is about the same I want to try to fix it myself and the how tos here are awesome any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Mike

I spent yesterday reading this and doing the adjustments it did help but at take off it still bogs down bad and about 70mph it sputters a little the adjustments did seem to help when going through the gears but when I take off it almost sounds like it goes.to one cylinder or something and thanks again for the carb adjusting how to

Maybe it was not properly jetted when they changed the pipes. I would check on the jets and see where your at on that end. I would say that you need to be at about 31 on the intermediate and 74 main.

The acel pump has a lot to do with bogging down on take off. On the Acel pump screw turn it all the way in till it seats (don't tighten this screw) then take it out about 1/2 turn romp on the throttle and if it hesitates continue to take it out 1/4 turn at at time till it it stops the hesitation. :2thumbs:

try that it will help with the take off

Also was wondering if anyone could tell me a good source for parts and maybe the best ones to use like cables clutch primary jets etc I got in the habit of just taking it to wichita since I am close but now I would like to do as much of this myself as possible
Thanks Mike
