Keihin needle decipher?

[dave5.0]

Just got some 35mm Air Strikers. they have CELs in them. My old PJs I had put DEKs in per the engine builder. What's the difference in needles? I'm about to get it running and don't want to spend the next year jetting. Anybody have any insight?

dek have a more taper

 

 

cel have a bigger diameter of needle

 

 

basically they are almost the same dek is a richer needles.

Hey what all is on your +4 bike? reeds, intakes, all that crap. I should be pretty close to what you are running.

not with airstrykers you will end up running something else

 

do a search on the carbs best of luck. pwk and pj are what lot of people run so hard to compare them to the strykers

Realy, the a/s not a good combo? How come nobody runs them?

i'm a big fan of airstrykers, i feel they're a little more responsive than their standard pwk counterparts. i was running a 35mm single PWK and switched to a 35mm PWK A/S and there was an improvement in response and vacuum in the low and midrange, as I was able to go from the EEK to the DEK and have a crisper throttle.

Well I got them in and ran it last night. Didn't get to ride it though. I put the DEKs in it with 170 mains and 55 pilots. It won't idle at the moment. I have to pull the cable to get it to. i think I might have too much spring on my idle screws. I'm going to "adjust" those and try again. should be able to get a little ride around the yard in and see how id feels. It sounded crisp last night but I was just reving it in the garage.
