anufsed Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Here is my current setup. Noss Cool Head w/19cc Domes, V-Force 2 Reeds, Toomy T5's, Stock carbs bored to 28mm, K&N Clamp on filters. My altitude is 4600. Can anyone help me get a close approx. Before the Carbs, Head, and Reeds with the stock airbox I ran stock pilots and 280 mains. The new carbs have a 30 pilot and 350 mains. Does this sound a little to fat to anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this sound a little to fat to anyone? Maybe a little fat, I was thinking more on the lines of 320, give or take. No one really knows, you could 320 or 350. Do a plug check with the 350 in and you will soon find out. If it's all wet, then yeah, come down one size at a time till the plug looks the way you want.

anufsed Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Do you think I should leave the 30s in or go back down to the 25s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 (edited) Here is they way I go about jetting. Keep in mind, this is my way, everybody has a different way. 1) Install guesstimated main size 2) Run plug check 3) Dial main jet in where it needs to be (may take 2 or 10 plug checks) 4) Dial in pilot for off-idle response 5) Dial in needle (dial in by running bike and adjusting needle for best performance) Note: When richening needle, leaning pilot may be required. So, what I'm saying is, get your main set first, even if the off idle is a little off. Get your main set where it needs to be then work down. If you try to worry about it all at once, it's overwhelming and a PITA. Edited May 11, 2004 by sredish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Makes a lot of sense.. Thank for the help! Anytime, and don't be afraid to ask, that's the only way. BTW, if you run your wide-open-throttle plug test and your unsure or anything, get back with the color and we'll help you get her straight. If she bogs out or fouls on your wide-open run then just back her down a little and go again. Little by little and you'll have it, plus, you'll learn a lot about how your machine runs and what your machine likes. Good luck.
