RippinShee Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 If my bike is running slightly rich..and my mixture is 50:1.. Can i jet to 32:1 and run leaner theoretically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedSheeRida Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 well i dont know where your going with this theoretically but if your bike is running rich at 50:1 you need to adjust your jetting. 32 parts gas 1 part oil is a richer mixture than 50 parts gas 1 part oil. change your jetting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippinShee Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 rich and lean means more fuel-air. so if i went from 50 :1 to 32:1 it would be going from more gas to less gas... which would mean it would be leaning the bike out....

fastbanshee8 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 You are playing with an unknown quantity of gas, doing it that way. Just rejet the carbs, and do it the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, from more gas to less, but, meaning ur putting more oil to it which means richer mix and safer. Stick with 32:1 or 40:1 and rejet your carbs.
