NYCBanshee7 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hey guys, What size pilot jets should I be running in my shee? Right now I have 32.5 w/ the mods listed in my sig and ride mostly at Sea Level. However, when my bike is off and the fuel petcock is left ON there is a slow fuel leak out of the overflow. Is that because the pilot jets are too big, I have a pair of size 30 pilots shoudl i throw those in?? Thanks for your help, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 32.5 is huge. In my experience, there is rarely a motor that requires larger than 30's and most will be fine w/27.5's.....However, that is not the reason it is overflowing. You need to adjust your float height, that is causing the overflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 25 (stock) or 27.5 pilots will work fine for your bike. If you removed the airbox all togther (pod filters) I'd lean to 27.5 pilots. To be clear, are the overflow tubes leaking or the drain line. There are two tubes, one on either side of the carb half way up the slide area. those are the overflow. There is one tube on the very bottom, that is the drain. Floats stuck, improperly adjusted or dirt in the needle/seat can cause them to overflow...

NYCBanshee7 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure its the drain line, not the short overflow lines on the carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Take the bowl off, remove the drain screw and clean all that out good. If it doesn't seat properly...it'll leak. Any dirt/gum will settle there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
