Rapture Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 I have the exact same problem. Mine have gone yellow and have melted the shit out of the exhaust collars too. Bluejob works well to remove the yellow but the actual problem has not be solved yet. I run a 300 main middle clip. Quote
Robert80 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) my friend uses this adjustment: mains 280 pilots 30 needle clip in the middle air adj. screw 1-1 1/2 turns out. plugs are lttlebit dark, but the plugbase is dry. the right piston has some blowby, the left is looking new. i drive his shee an it runs very well, bottom end is not so high like mine, but ok...

Deadbeat Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 the chrome on the new sets looks cheap and shamby Quote
Rapture Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 I contacted DMC. They suggested going to a 340 and 30 pilot. Seems excessive to me ... Quote
