I'm not stupid but I haven't messed with a carb. since my old 73 El Camino.

I have a few questions regarding jetting/exhaust mod's and long term reliability. I'm making reference to a Honda Rincon although it will probably apply to most quads.

Can someone please explain in as generic terms as possible the jetting process and how jets in general are replaced/adjusted and where I might locate them. Any other carb. adjustment advice would be appreciated as well.

I'm looking at swapping out my stock exhaust and jetting my Rincon but this is something I want to learn to do myself.

I do a lot of general automotive maintenance, oil changes, belts, hoses, filters, gaskets, starters, alternators etc....but have never really messed with intake. exhaust or internal engine parts but I'm willing to learn. I have an Outlander 330 which I may use to "learn" more extensive mod's/repairs....it got a little beat up and doesn't hold much value to anyone but me since I paid for it LOL.

 

I forgot to ask if jetting/exhaust mod's require any more general maintenance then leaving everything stock?

This was the very best post I have ever seen on jetting.
