williamjernigan Posted October 19, 2004 Report Posted October 19, 2004 I live in North Carolina and my elevation is about sea level to maybe 50 feet above. I have a bone stock 03' shee and I have 15 tooth sprocket and chain set, k&n air filter, fmf sst's just waiting to be installed. If I put them on what should my jetting go up to. I havn't started so I don't know what the main jet is but give me a senario or some place to start from if possible. THANKS Quote
roosthrower Posted October 19, 2004 Report Posted October 19, 2004 try a 300 and work down depending on how it runs. the main jets are located at the bottom of the carbs. You have to remove the four screws that keep the float bowl mounted to the rest of the carb. The main jet is located right in the middle. It'll be one of the first things you see after getting the float bowl off. Quote
Banchetta Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 290 mains, needle 5th clip from the blunt end and stock pilots.....adjust air screw to throttle response. Let me know how that works... Quote
williamjernigan Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Posted October 21, 2004 Man I fouled up trying to rejet. My friend and I attempted to rejett but messed up. This was the first time I have ever tried to jet or rejet. I got the pipes on with no problems and followed all the instructions about draing fuel and everything. We took the gas tank off with no problem but we didn't pull the carbs all the way off. We tried to rejet straight from above. Is this correct, I feel we should have taken then completely off? Anyway when we got the carb top loose we pulled out the throttle valve and spring and we were trying to get the clip that holds the throttle cable loose but thats when we fouled up. We tried holding the spring while loosening the screws that you can see which are very small. Then we looked and we were wedging the long needle like piece (needle jet) against something and I looked and the thing was bent like a fishing hook. I tried to bend it back but it just broke off a small piece. So I don't have any extra needle jets if in fact that is what it is. I think that I am just going to take it to the dealer and let them rejet it. But I know that it is not that hard but I think that I took the wrong steps about doing it. So PLEASE if you have any advice on how or what I should do then please reply. I only mest up the right one. I had know problem though installing the pipes and k&n air filter with adapter plate. How do you guys work around that throttle spring. Please give me some step by step instructions. I ordered a clymer like 12 days ago and is still is not here. I am pissed. Also should I get aftermarket jets instead of just OEM. Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Yes you need to take the carbs off. the main and pilot jet are in the bowl. you only need to take the top off to adjust the needle. go with oem jets, you don't want ones made by some kid in a sweat shop for 12 cents a day Quote
Banchetta Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 The jets are in the bottom of the carb, not the top. Although you can adjust needle height by pulling the spring back on the carb top, shake the gold clip out, disconnect the cable, then undo the 2 philip screws, you'll see slots on the top of the needle w/ a c-clip for adjusting height. You can benefit great power gains by adjusting these as well as main and pilot jets....stay w/ it. you'll get it.. Quote
