BigRed350x Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Bored .080 over, stock head, stock pipes, K&N inside airbox w/ no lid. Mild port. (yeah yeah I know I need new pipes! I want some fatty's but dont have enough money right now. ) Just bought a brand new top end kit and finished rebuilding the bottom end on one of my 88's. Going to put everything back together next weekend. What would be a good range of mains and pilots to buy? I have no idea whats in the carbs right now. I also have the TORS eliminator kit, but don't have the idle screw fix for it yet. Going to get that and a timing advance plate here in the next month or so and probably advance 4 Quote

richybanshee Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) What sbacewic said. First thing is to set up your main jets since it will have an effect on the other jets. Do the plug chop method and if the mains are okay, and wide open throttle riding feels great, go on and start on the needle. Finally check the pilot jet. May be go with 30's, you have stock pipes. My bike is stock, It had 300 mains, air screws in 1 turn, no airbox lid, ridding at 1000 feet from sea level, temp 85 Farenheight, had no problems with that set up. Midrange felt stronger. Now I ride with 280 mains since I ride mostly at higher altitudes. Edited February 7, 2005 by richybanshee Quote
Banchetta Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Depending on porting, you should be around 250-280 mains, stock pilots (25), try the needles in different clip positions..start w/ the 3rd and then try the 4th from the blunt end.. Quote
BigRed350x Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Posted February 8, 2005 Oh yeah... the absolute lowest elevation this bike sees is 8000ft. Does that change anyone's suggestions? I ride it in the winter quite a bit as well. Temp ranges from 20 Quote
Banchetta Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 I'd be surprised if you end up over a 250 main, but better to start rich and work down.. Quote
