NJ2STROKE Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Still new to this jetting thing. My setup is in my sig. Ok so here goes, I went up from the 160 main that came in the carb to a 170 main. Bike idles fine, so i didn't mess with the pilot. Prior to the change it would bog out at 3/4 throttle in 3rd, now it will run through all the gears full throttle, but it hesitates when from 1/2 to WOT. I haven't messed with the needle yet, wanted to change one thing at a time. The needle is on the 2nd to last clip. Do I need to move it? If so in which direction? I don't want to feel like I wasted my money on the single carb set up, and have to buy more carbs. I have been trying to get this bike right for about a month now and I feel like I'm almost there just need some more help. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 You need to do a plug chop to establish your main then play with the needle to adjust the throttle range your having a prob with.With a single carb the needle is a very important adjustment but it wont mean shit unless your main is close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left the 170 in and moved the clip to the 3rd position. The lag is almost gone, but it is hard to tell since i cant really get it wide open where I'm at. I will check it this weekemd in NJ. I will also do a plug chop while I'm there and get some more jets. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
