My son has a stock 99 Blaster.

I have installed a 250 Main Jet and put the Needle on the thrid clip from the top.

The problem is, when I first begin to accelerate, it craps out and then catches up to itself and takes off.

Any advice?

Thanks for the info!!!

What is the Idle (Pilot) Jet stcok size?

I live in Phoenix at about 1000'.

How about the Idle (Pilot Jet)? Do you think this could be my problem? Should I increase it?

I moved the clip down to the third from the top. Do you think this is too rich?

How about the 250 Main? Too rich?

The best carb tuning resource I've found so far is on this site...

www.bombardierds650.com

Under "What's New" you'll find a link for carb tuning. VERY informative!

Later
