Default 400ex idler screw (jetting) -- oops

Hah, yeah im dumb. I was almost outta gas, thats why I had trouble starting it.

45 pilot in, fuel screw 2 turns out, 4th clip down on needle, 165 main jet, I still get backfires, (flames) and popping. How far out would be considered "maxed" on the fuel screw before I need to get a larger pilot?

Thanks
Dave

ive heard 3 or 3/12

i wish shooting flames was a good thing .... lol

3.5 is max. The stock pilot is 38, get a 40. 50 would be way too much fuel, IMO.

Ok, 170 main 45 pilot, 4th clip down on needle.. I think I stoped the popping, but now when I rev it a get a little white greyysmoke.. which means im running slightly rich. lol So i will probably close the fuel screw a turn and see how that works. If that doesnt, Ill raise the clip one notch on the carb.

Is it bad to run the engine rich for a little, I rather go out in the trails to tune it , its too loud around here. heheh

Atleast I accomplished SOMETHING though,, I thought I was out of hope for a minute there.
