AKheathen Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 for everyone in the nothern hemisphere, you all should take note on the temperature dropsand richen your main jetting accordingly. about 1 size already from a month or 2 ago, and 2 in some cases. keep going up in size as it gets colder. not doing so, will lead to not only performance and driveability/starting issues, but could potentially cause harm to your engine. just a heads up/ reminder for all.... have an ice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 No kidding. Thats what ive been trying to tell people. But some just wont listen and what not. Oh well, it's not my motor running like shit then melting down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 i just hope people will read and take this into consideration before posting 100 "running funny" or "why did my piston melt" threads. rule of thumb is up 1 size main for every drop of about 25 degrees fahrenheit, but it's about 15 degrees per, once you hit the 35-5 temp range, due to the dramatic humidity differences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert0762 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 The pilots should be ok for the most part or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 usually just an adjustment on the airscrews, if any, untill you get a bit below freezing. i belive it was around 0 that the pilot was jumping a bit. i.e.....27.5 down to 10-20, then 30 down to -5 to -10, but can vary a little with different fuels. you can tell by the airscrew adjustments where the pilots need to be.
