After installing my K&N Filter I am having problems starting the bike without the choke. I did a quick plug check and see that the plug is real white around 1/4 throttle. I am going to try going up on the pilot but need a good starting point. Right now I am running a 240 main, needle on the 2nd clip, 32.5 pilot, and the screw like 3-4 turns out. . . Also, where should I start with the main jet? I was thinking around 280. . . does that sound about right?

 

noone?

 

Well..I think your heading in the right direction with the pilot....My rule of thumb is if you have to have the air screws more than 2 1/2 open...then you need to go with a larger pilot....I think I would move the needle to the 3rd clip as well.

280 seems a tad high on the main jet...open airbox might work out to about 2 jet sizes...so a 260 will probably be enough.


Just some ideas...good luck.

 

ok Thanks.
Where do you think I should start with the pilot?

 

start 30 over, like at a 270, and go until it fits ur needs and runs well.

 

Yea i know about the main but im not sure about where to start on the pilot.

 

You said you were at a 32.5 right now?

I have found that for every size you go up on the pilot...it equates to about a full turn on the air screw.....So your looking to get that air screw at around 1 1/2 to 2 turns out....so I would think you should get the next two pilot sizes and try them....most likely ending up with the larger of the two.

 

Pilots increase by .5 right?
So I should get a 33 and 33.5.

 

well...that's where it can get tricky...I think the pilots are 1/2 size incriments..You should be ok with the 33 and 33.5....but I hate to say so for sure....I don't want to be the one telling you to waste money. IF you were closer...I would have you over for a day and we would get that thing running sweet.

Yea, if i was closer![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Im not worried about wasting my money. I have no problem buying a bunch of different jets amd only end up using one of them. I'll get a few different sizes, maybe around a 33,33.5, and even a 34. I'll pick up some mains as well, probably a 260,270,280 and see where that gets me.

Thanks for the help,
