They can give you a starting point, but you better learn how to make jetting changes on your carbs. EVERY quad is a little different due to many factors & the altitude, gas quality, oil mixture are just some of them. Do a search on here on how to do a plug chop & read the posts on jetting, you'll eventually get it right. There are many people on here willing to help out!

dajogejr Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Just finished up going the jetting routine myself. For sea level to 1000ft. I assume you have a K&N Filter using the stock airbox. What I've read around here is the SST's like a fat pilot. Get a 27.5 Pilot, and turn your air screws 1.5 turns out from seated. I'd bet you could start with a 240 or 250 MAIN and be very close. Like previously mentioned...we can't give you exact jetting...but we can get you in the ballpark. As said...look at your plugs...they'll tell you.

sredish Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 call fmf. they will tell exacty what to use. 361245[/snapback] yea right!! Man, on your machine, start with 290 or 300s and a 27.5 pilot. Do a search for plug chop and follow those directions on reading the plug and you should be set.

sheefreak Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I have about the same setup as you, except I run w/airbox lid off and I run a 30 pilot and 330 mains, airscrews 1.5 turns out. I can tell you that I am a little on the rich side. I would agree w/ shredish and start out about 300's, or 310's. As it goes right now if you are running stock jetting, it won't be long before you will run into trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Sred...you think that fat of a main if he has an airbox w/ the lid and/or snorkel still in place? Oops...looks like Sheefreak answer that for me... Surprising...I'm running 310's with T5's and have NO airbox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Yeah, I could probablygo down to about 310's, had it jetted at 330 for cooler weather. Ran 330's at silver lake in 70 degree weather though and ran alright. Oh yeah, and I have a minor cleanup port.

sredish Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I look at it this way. I take the assumption that most of the peeps asking these things don't know how to check plugs, if they did, then they'd probably know how to jet, and if they knew that then they wouldn't be asking. This doesn't apply a lot of times, but I assume that for safety sake. Then, I'll take what I think they should be at and make sure they are a size or so rich, so if they go home, throw it in and hammer down, they don't blow the piston into a million pieces. Now, with the airbox lid off and such, 310 and 320 is not unusual for Fatties. With the lid on, it wouldn't surprise me to be at 290 and maybe 300. I didn't see he still had the snorkel or I would've told him to take it off and burn it!! But I'd rather him throw a 300 in there than a 270, that's for sure. See where I'm coming from. Honestly, I think 290 is gonna be pretty damned close. Hell, I ran 320s in my bike with Fatties and no lid, with VForce reeds, and those will lean you a size as well. Cool, well maybe he'll let us know how he ends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are at 4000' elevation, you are lean, guarantee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Well...I've been tuning on the jetting since I've gotten it.(Mid-February) I'm less than 1000ft. I bought it with 30 pilots and 250 main, stock pipes and K&N pods. Since then...bumped to 27.5 Pilots, T5's and 290 Mains. Yep, too lean. I'm at 310s now. And all I've been doing 90% of the rides I've taken are WOT Drags for about 250 yards or so. My plugs are perfect...light chocolate brown. I can chop 'em if you'd like... Just goes to show you...no two bikes are going to be jetted the same. Always going to be different...but we can find a good starting point...

dajogejr Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I should add...though...Linc...I have Toomey/Dyno Jet needles. They are considerably longer than stock needles. I'm thinking the Mains don't come on till later, do to the increased length.... I know that factors into the equasion. However...I plan on testing some rockets...and I've read I'm going to have to richen it up even MORE with those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
