Dan Bennett Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 How do I know what size jets I have? I just got a 97 shee and i'm cleaning it up and getting it to run better. I couldn't see any markings on the jets, but i believe they are the stock carbs. The guy I got it from had no clue, he said he had the bike for a year and never changed anything on it.

Ducman Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Look on the bottom of the jet, same suface the hole is bored through. It can be hard to read the #'s on old jets with a lot of tarnish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Bennett Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Those are some tiny numbers, had to get out a magnifying glass to see them. Looks like 340 and 25 I just go the bike, and I don't think the last guy had it set up well. It's a 97, i will be running is 1000 altitude usually fron 75-95 degrees stock bore, not porting stock reeds fmf fatty pipes stock filter with a lid once I get one most of my riding is tight rocky muddy trails, don't need much top speed I rarely get my tecate out of 3rd gear. Should I change these jets? How about the exhaust, would i be better off with the stock pipes to get more low end and midrange power?

dajogejr Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'd say you're WAY rich on the main, stock pilot is 25...so, you're good there, FMFs do like a fatter pilot, though...so, maybe... With pipes and an airbox normally you're in the 270 range or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
