Default jet question

your pilot controls the start of your engine in most ways. for instance...if you wanted more HP out of your carb and atv, you could remove the choke. after so, it would have a time starting. so u put a bigger pilot in to fix that prob. cold or hot it will fire right up.

now if your to lean, you need a bigger jet. 146-148 is stock. get a fmf jet kit and try all the diffrent jets. stock bike with pipe try a 150-155. rebuild aith pipe, try 175-180, and so on.

hope this helps...
