banshee_kid350 Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 I got a 96 shee and I have not rode it since the cold weather has came in and im wondering if anyone had an idea what mains I should slip in to make up for the cold air. I have fmf fatties,dual k&n clamp on's with boyessen pro series reeds with spacers and a noss head with 19cc domes. I live in salt lake city,utah at about 4500 feet above sea level the temp I will be riding in is going to be around 35 to 45 degrees I am currently running 330 mains and stock pilots with needle clip in middle. Another question I had was I heard that raising your needle (dropping the clip one notch) is like going up a half on the main is that true? Or is it going to run completly different by changing either? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 id go up another size or 2 and see what the plug looks like after that. i dont think youll need to go more than a few sizes. how was it running with the 330's? was it a little lean or rich or right on?

motohawk Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 I would take it out and run it and see how the plugs look. You might be able to get away withraising the needle a clip or to that will fatten it up a bit. Try that and the air screw as well. Start there with about a half turn out farther.

banshee_kid350 Posted November 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 well I just put a new top end in it this spring and have only gotten a chance to take it out once I tried a plug test and they looked tan so I thought I would drop the clip one notch to raise the needle up to see how it acted and I couldnt even keep it ideling it just wanted to die. So I put it back the way it was and it ran just fine so i figured that it must be pretty close to being jetted right. And the same thing happens If I pull the choke out when it's running it just wants to die. im assuming that those are signs that it would be to rich. Or am I wrong and it will act different if I put a bigger man in??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would step that up 1-2 sizes. plugs are cheaper than pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
