im wondering if i can go to my polaris dealer and purchase individual jets for my scrambler 500. im going to be using the fmf powercore4 and want to use their reccomended specs, but cant get any jet size listings from any of the readily available kits. and since fmf suggests use of all stock carb components other than the pilot and main jet, i need to just buy a 160 main and a 40 pilot.

 

Take the old ones with you,as there are a couple different styles of pilot jets,threads are different.
You may also try a yamaha dealer or about any motorcycle shop.

 

i figured as much. didnt know if i just needed std mikuni jets or if they were different.

 

The dealer should be able to order the jets. Seems they never had the ones I needed in stock. You can also check out some places online and they may be cheaper, but you'll also pay shipping. If you do order online, I'd call the store after checking prices and tell them they'll fit in an envelope and see if they'll reduce the shipping charges.

 

The mains should be a non-issue,but i believe they have 2 different thread-style of pilot jets.
Unless you like to make two trips. good luck

 

well my new pickup coil showed up today. hopefully 2 moro nite ill have it installed and fired up if i have time. if she fires up, im gonna order the slip on, and ill pull the carb and the jets to take with me. got a few shops near me. shouldnt be hard to find. my goal is to get it in top notch shape before spring. im also tryin to find aluminum wheels to fit it. ive seen pics but no one has told me where to find them, lol.
