scooter Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 05 with toomey t6s delta v force 3 reeds . 270 main jets in now just removed air box and installed k @ n pod filters with outer wears im at 5400.00 ft above sea level. bike was running a little rich with the air box with the toomey mod kit installed lid on with holes drilled . but ran very well. im worried about running lean rode it tonight and did a chop test i will cut the threads tommarrow at work bike ran great much better a little hesitation on the low side but not much. i put in new plugs but warmed the bike up on them instead of changing them again any body have any ideas on jetting ? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrmel Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 sence you warmed those new plugs up before running them hard i dont think youre plug chop results will be valid. dont shop them, just keep those as spares and buy 2 more and do it by the book. its the only way to get accurite results.

Big Blue Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 warmer air=richer not sure if I read what you said in your post wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 At your elevation, (5400ft, correct?) your main jets are fine. If anything, they are rich... You'll probably have to adjust your air screws to get rid of that low RPM Bog, and MIGHT even have to lean out the needle one clip or two ( towards the blunt end) due to your elevation and VForce Reed cages. Adjust the air screws this way. Warm the bike up. Start with them .5 turns out from the lightly seated position. Ride it. Then, turn them .5 turns out more, wait 20 seconds for the adjustment to take effect, ride it again. Keep doing this until you get the highest idle from your air screws and the best response, waiting 20 seconds between adjustments for it to take effect. If you end up with less than more than 2.0 or 2.5 turns out, you'll need to bump up your pilot size. However, at your elevation, stock pilot jetting shoudl flow more than enough fuel. Then...if it's crisp in 1/8 to 3/4 throttle, leave the needle alone. If it's a little boggy, go up one clip on each needle until it's crisp. I think your mains are fine, maybe a hair rich.... Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck!! thanks dajogejr . you say screws as in two so does the owners manual i can only see one on the left cab is there one on the right one? and also if i understand this right in or clockwise will make it richer and out will make it leaner ? it runs almost perfect now just need to get it right on thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 There is an air screw in each carb, same spot, bottom right corner if you're looking at them from the left side (same side as the gear selector). These are air screws, so...turning them in (clockwise) will make it richer (less air, more fuel) and counterclockwise will lean them out. Correct!!!
