Banshee Chad Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Should I change the pilot jet. Please let me know something because I'll be close to the dealership today and could pick some up. Thanks I don't think so. Did you try adjusting the cable? Quote
thomas h. Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 800 ft maybe 290-300 mains 25 p. any jetting needs a plug chop and compression check and leaking down to be sure that the motor is trail ready Quote
db25 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Posted July 21, 2012 I tried messing with the cable a little, I can get it idle at times but not perfect.. Right now the bike has a twist throttle on it and I'm wanting to put a thumb throttle on it. I'll mess with adjusting the cable more when I get the twist throttle removed. Quote
db25 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Posted July 21, 2012 Does the needle clip position affect the idle and low end any..? I was told that's all in the pilot jet but maybe I was told wrong. Quote

Pilot is like the first 1/8th, needle to 3/4 ish... Then main. Plug chops not necessary... Just look at it. Or pull a pic and let us see. Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Put some 27.5 pilots in the carbs, and set the air mixture screws to 1.5 to 2 turns open. Most aftermarket pipes like a little bigger pilot, and that's especially true with the FMF pipes. Quote
db25 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Posted July 22, 2012 Alright thanks guys for all the advice, I went to get some 27.5 yesterday but that place didn't have any so I'll have to wait until mid week and try another place hopefully they will have some, then I will put in some new plugs, run the bike, and post some pics of the plugs for everybodys opinion but that will be mid week or later so just keep checking back.. I'm still not sure if I should move my needle or not I guess I'll leave it alone for now. Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 FAST Racing has the pilot jets, and he ships quick. Go with a site sponsor, for the best results. http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=73 Quote
db25 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Posted July 24, 2012 I'll give that a shot, thanks for the info Quote
