bluebanshee7 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Just did a bottom and top end rebuild on my shee and put it all back to stock. Ordered a few parts from F.a.s.t and they are sending me new 185 jets. I have FMF pipes and an open air box with outwears air box cover. I'm in Central NJ which is sea level. So my questions are what would I set my carb needle at? Right now it's in the middle. Also how many turns do I turn the adjustment screw out? I believe the guy at fast said 1 and half turns out. And what gas should I be running? 32:1..91/92/93? Thanks Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 280 main, 27.5 pilot, stock needle middle clip, 1.5 turn out on air screw. That should get you pretty damn close on stock carbs. Maybe even a lil rich which is fine. Check your plugs and read them. 32:1 is fine or 40:1. Use a good premix that's available in your town or order online. Get the best pump gas that's available. 93 would be best but 91 would be fine too. Keep air filter clean and change transmission oil regularly and the motor should last a long time if you don't have any air leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a carb rebuild kit a while back and it came with stock pilots. Is that okay or should I just order the 27.5's? I want this perfect cuz the guy I bought this from had it all screwed up and I rode it for an hour and fried a piston. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means that when I first bought this I had fmf pipes, bored sleeves and a cool head running 310 mains and 25 pilots... could that be the reason this thing fried a piston?

You probably had a air leak. What cc domes are in the coolhead? You need to make sure your ruining the correct fuel. You need to do a leak down test on your motor also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to do a leak down test on your motor alsoI ripped the whole motor apart and put everything back to stock. New jugs. New pistons. Stock head with stock domes. New crank. New seals. New bearings. And have a fresh set of fmf pipes coming in the mail. I have all the parts to build a leak down tester so I plan on doing that after its back together. I ordered the 27.5 pilot jets too. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your running a air box correct? Which filter? The leak down test is so important. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im ordering the outerwears airbox cover just so no garbage can get in. The air box also those holes in the sides with the screens put in for more air flow.

bluebanshee98 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 If leak down test passes your motor should last awhile. Make sure you check and read your new plugs after riding it for a bit. Also if you have a boost bottle ditch it for the stock cross over tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I got rid of the boost bottle and just installed my new cross over tube tonight. The motor is pretty fresh right now so hope the leak test goes well.
