heads up everybody

[AKheathen]

for everyone in the nothern hemisphere, you all should take note on the temperature dropsand richen your main jetting accordingly. about 1 size already from a month or 2 ago, and 2 in some cases. keep going up in size as it gets colder. not doing so, will lead to not only performance and driveability/starting issues, but could potentially cause harm to your engine. just a heads up/ reminder for all....

have an ice day

[SAVAGE420]

No kidding. Thats what ive been trying to tell people. But some just wont listen and what not.

 

Oh well, it's not my motor running like shit then melting down

[AKheathen]

i just hope people will read and take this into consideration before posting 100 "running funny" or "why did my piston melt" threads.

rule of thumb is up 1 size main for every drop of about 25 degrees fahrenheit, but it's about 15 degrees per, once you hit the 35-5 temp range, due to the dramatic humidity differences

shouldn't you be starting the sled for the season heath, it should snow pretty soon it already did up north

[AKheathen]

psh, i've been up north for weeks, and just termination dust. barely starting to stay frozen. don't have a decent sled anymore anyways. i baught a banshee instead....

Thanks man

The pilots should be ok for the most part or what?

[AKheathen]

usually just an adjustment on the airscrews, if any, untill you get a bit below freezing. i belive it was around 0 that the pilot was jumping a bit. i.e.....27.5 down to 10-20, then 30 down to -5 to -10, but can vary a little with different fuels. you can tell by the airscrew adjustments where the pilots need to be.

[xXBlessedWithDeathXx]

to the teets

 

 

-5 -10? you ride in that shit?

[AKheathen]

hell yah! all that cold, dry air to feed the motor, plus, frozen sand yeilds awesome traction

[alf44]

good piece of info Heath.

[AKheathen]

bump......plus, you should be taking a second look again, if you're still riddin, now that winter has hit....+1-2 sizes

[crustydemon]

Yes this is a great reminder to those who may have blown it off. Save yourself a meltdown and take the time to rejet if your going to ride in the winter.
