PJ idle adjustment

[crustydemon]

For those of you running PJ's, are you setting your idle with the idle/choke knob or are you having to do it at your carb caps? My knobs are not changing the idle at all.

you shouldnt have to. I dont.

When I turn them they go up like they are supposed to but it just doesnt change my idle speed. I went up to 5 turns and quit.

I try to not use those as an idle adjusment. Put that at 2 turns out, make sure the slides close all the way, then screw with the AF mixture screw and Pilot jet. I see alot of guys using the choke knob to get the bike to run, But seems to me that those same guys are always turning and twisting it.

The easy way to adjust the idle is to throw the carbs on ebay and buy a set of PWK's.

 

When I had PJ's I had them turn out 7+ turns.

Perhaps the pilot jet is off..

Depending on how the bike idles.. go up or down a size in the pilot..

Those carbs have always been funky on idle, they use fuel and not air to set idle. Sounds to me that your pilot is off as well.

The pilots are 48's and the needles were cgl's and I just put the cel's in and a new throttle cable(the correct one) Maybe my pilots are a little too big.

 

I plan on getting some pwk's , maybe the airstrikers when I can.
