8/13/2013

11 Comments

 
Oneil Brother's Racing recently posted this video on their YouTube channel and it is one of the best I've seen in a long time.
Check this video out to learn:
  1. What type of carb does your Rampage have (WT-668, WT-990, WT-813)
  2. Factory carb needle settings (stock WT-668 - 1 1/4 out on the low, 1 1/2 out on the high)
  3. What's the best carb for your use
  4. Oil mixture (28:1)
  5. Best oil to use (Yamalube, Castor 927, Honda HP2)
  6. How to mix (Ratio Rite Cup)
  7. How to break-in your engine

When you are ready to upgrade the engine in your Rampage, be sure to support the awesome folks over at OBR

Skip ahead to around 7:00 in the video.
I 28:1 for break-in and normal running.
Some guys have different opinion but this has always worked for me.
I like this oil:

I'm not familiar with that oil but if it's for dirt bikes it will be fine

Hi David. It could be any number of things from an improperly tuned carb, clogged air filter, fuel tank needs venting etc. Best to post on the forum at www.redcatrampageforum.com
There's some good carb tuning tips at the end of the above video.
