Fabrication takes wwwwway too long when you order parts as singles and only when they are within reason.



Here are a few shots older shots, past the point of no return. while measuring/fitting up the subframe. Will take/post current ones this weekend if I can get the welding done

I ordered the 230,240,250 main jets and 17.5, 20.0 pilots and the 5L1 needle. Right now I am using a 210 main jet and the stock 15 pilot with the stock needle on the richest setting, but since I'm at 7000ft I hope I am in the ballpark with what I ordered.</end quote></div>
that should get you in the ballpark. i would try the 20 pilot and the 250 main 1st. put the clip in the richest position and have the a/f mix screw about 1/2 turn out.

Yeah I would rather start out to "rich", with this rebuild/upgrade then to "lean" and really do some lasting damage.

...being as true to the QS as possible..I first inspected the newer, stronger breed, only outsourcing from Honda if design (or funding [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] ) demanded. Will pull pics and measurements together as I go... hope to be ready for powder coating in 30 days..Or buy a dog to move in with!

PG.. Love the signature..and the quote!

I know (or think I know) the shock is off a Honda trx450r.

Funny looking at that shock compared to the 230 engine, the spring is bigger around than the piston!
