X2, very good advice here.

 

cool saved me some time! Guess this is were i will start on mine as well. still waiting on engine to be shipped back but i got some 35's pwk's sitting here to put on mine as well. I've Become very familiar with the stock carbs and jetting but id like to have a descent starting point to save some time with the new carbs. My yz 250 uses a keihin carb so im no stranger to keihins and i have some spare jets.  iirc i have a 55/180 in the YZ but it doesn't have quite the same needs as the shee obviously as its a single cylinder/carb. this is a good starting point atleast thanks.

Isn't a serval "dune" ported as cast?

Dont believe so, Jeffs making mine a 421 serval and he made no mention of it being a dune port. think its ports are very conservative as cast.

 

Edit: I stand corrected.

A serval basically is a dune ported cylinder. Doesnt mean Jeff cant help with porting and domes and gain everywhere. Most servals I have seen did not like much timing and ended up at the smaller size of what normally is ran in a specific carb. So it may like even smaller than the normal 155 jet in 35s. Your yz dirtbike probably also has a 39mm carb not a 35. 39s need to run bigger jets.

ya I wasn't comparing jetting since its a single compared to duals not to mention a diffrent dispacement. just noting I'm familiar with the carb type. And have a bunch of spare jets. And meant the post above was a good starting point. Not what's in my dirt bike.

 

edit: gotch ya serval will probably like less jetting then the cub ill start at about 155 and work down till its right.

On my fast 421 serval I was running +4 timing vf3 and 35 pwks with 24cc domes. My jetting was at 48 and 155 in the summer and 165 in the winter. Elevation is at 1100
