broke as a joke Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 I just fattened mine up for the winter, I also pulled the needles up one notch, do you guys usually do this? I can't remember what I did last winter, I can't just ride it and see because I have to put the rest of it together still haha Quote
87sheerips Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Not here to sit the pot (too much at least) cuz this is good info that everyone needs to remember... However, Over the last few years I have not touched my Jetting from summer to winter lol... Yea, it runs rich in the summer but still runs good and rips. It just leans out in the winter months and plugs still look good.. Yes, that is my lazy jetting solution for my Michigan weather! Quote
AKheathen Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Posted December 3, 2009 haha, that is one way to do it...not sure how rich you can go before it gives you more than a little sputtering, and if you're not hooking up real good, you're probably not loading it up verry much or spending much time wot anyways. not sure if i messed with the needles much, but i think it's usually fine to leave them be. i run my needles a little rich on the bottom anyway. baught the carbs i really wanted for cheaper than the needles i needed...

Hmm, I answered my own question, I got everything back together today and changing clip positions on the needles is not necessary, in my case anyway, its a little rich in the middle, has a little spudder, I'll be putting them back to where they were.

Snopczynski Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 The mikuni pocket tuner is a wonderful tool for elevation and temperature references from your current jetting. Quote
