And if so, how much does it usually run? i will be getting a quad soon and have been reading up on this jetting stuff, and i do not get it at all. but then again, whenever you usually get into something, it takes time to learn..

You should never pay more than $150.00 for getting your carbs jetted, and that price includes a dyno. Don't pay a dime more especially if its not done on a dyno. I'm a firm believer on jetting machines with a dyno!

Yea they use an O2 sensor on the dyno so you know exactly where your jetting is. No guessing.

Save yourself some money & get a factory service manual & do them yourself, their not hard to do. Dyno pulls are not expensive I can get 3 pulls for $50 & you can change jets between pulls if you need to.

Velociraptor is suggesting you use a dyno. I would do the jetting yourself, you will need the experience in the future when you need to tear into it and it will save you a ton of money. Just buy the manual or read back through the archives for the best way to change your jets. The Dyno is the best way, but not necessary until you really build your motor.
