Maybe more maintenence. BR>What's it doing?

Posted by: LT80

No there isn't.
Remove 2 of the 6 front clutch rollers. That should help.
I presume both carb and exhaust restrictors are removed.

There is no negative results from removing 2 rollers.
I been thinking, Lets do some checking first..I'm bothered with you stating that it's done this since you got it.
Could the carb need cleaning? Possibly a pilot jet plugged?
If all that's good, lets lower the needle a notch or 2 and see if leaning it out a lil picks up the bottom end lag.
What's the color of the spark plug?

Your gearing tells me that it's an older LT.
The LT is usually a grunt monster IMO.
Check the compression.
The clutchs are maintenenced every 2 races?
