LIsurfer_ Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 OK I have finished breaking in my motor....during the rebuild I also upgraded to FMF fatties from stock pipes. I currently have a Toomey 2 into 1 filter as well. My elevation is around 900' and I am running stock carbs with 290 mains and 30 pilots......Is this a good place to start or should I change before doing a plug chop? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J..J. Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I reckon you're in the ballpark. Mine: Fatties/K&N/No-lid/V-Force, at 1500 feet, 320Mains, 30 pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 sounds like a good starting point...maybe rich on the pilots, but try it out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIsurfer_ Posted May 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 yeah its definitely rich on th epilots...I had a pretty healthy bog from idle but I figured during break in it would not hurt. Do you think I should go back to 25 pilots or try 27.5's? I have the 25's but will have to order 27.5's. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 sure, give it a shot with the 25s and if need be, order the 27.5s after you see how the 25s work. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I think that would be a great starting point, especially with the air filter you're running. Are those 290's the ones I sent ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 what clip is your needle in, if you said already, sorry, didn't see it. Just play with your needle some, richen it one more (since you leaned your pilot) and see if it runs better. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIsurfer_ Posted May 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 sorry Dyno Jet needles middle clip....so richen would be to move it towards the top of the carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 sorry Dyno Jet needles middle clip....so richen would be to move it towards the top of the carbs richening would be moving the clip down/away from the top/blunt end, and leaning the needle is moving the clip up/towards the top/blunt end. Hope that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIsurfer_ Posted May 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 If I would have thought about it for a sec ....Yes it does make sense...the less needle in the hole the more gas........the more needle in the hole the less gas...got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 great, let us know where you end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I agree, if it wants to die it's lean... if it sputters it's rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
